| Topic | How do you count Dumbbell weight ? |

If I am lifting two 30 pounds dumbbells is that 60 or 30 ? Like in overhead press? Together is what I do. What matters is if you're internally consistent in your own logs and schemes. If you only count single double (ie, OHP with 30's). so incrementing up to either "70 lbs" or "35's" is functionally the exact same weight. Like, ideally, you count the barbell when it comes to the weight on bench press et al. 135 lbs is the bar and one 45 on each side. If you only count the weight on one side (45') or the sum of the weights (90'), then it doesn't matter when you slap on those adorable 2.5 lb plates, so long as you are consistent. 140 = 47.5 = 95, in practice. It's just going to be a little funky when you're trying to help someone else and being like "yeah, I bench 90" when you really mean "yeah, I bench 225" --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. ...
