I've never been to a gym, do they have .5 lb weights?
Did he first try it with 392 lbs, failed, and took one pound off?

What's the difference between 391 lbs and 400, like I know the answer is 9 lbs, but is that impossible, he'd need a few months work to get up to 400, what?

The colored olympic plates are measured in kilograms, with the green being 10 kg, yellow 15, blue 20, and red 25. There are also smaller metal plates paired with those that measure 5 and 2.5 I believe. The kg to lbs conversion will end up with non-rounded lift weights.

olympic plates are generally weighed in as kilograms, and odd numbers are not uncommon
