    When people refer to weight plates as denominations of money...

    "Hey bro can you pass me that dime (10 pound weight)?"

    That must be a So Cal thing...or maybe it's the angry look on my face. People don't as me for anything while I'm at the gym...

    Haha, I have heard that before. I don't use those terms. I do call the 45lb plates wheels. Not sure why....
    Seeing someone half squat a certain weight in a smith machine would bug me more.

    I guess I go to a pretty mellow gym....Noone askes for dimes, or screams to look at how much they can lift. Only thing that bugs me is the parking..
