I need your help here Zig Forums, I got in an argument here with my gym buddy, he thinks metal is more heavy than rubber weights. My argument is follows: rubber plate weights of 50 KG vs metal plate 50 KG, I think rubber is more heavy 1. rubber is black and 2. the rubber is bending this is why more heavy
Give me more examples why rubber is more heavy, thanks

Rubber squat plugs are easier to keep in then metal, so I think your fren might be right. Might need more conclusive testing

rubber is heavier than steel because rubber comes from trees and those trees are really old and heavy
No retard, steel is heavier. One time my cock cage slipped off and it sank to the bottom of the toilet, but condoms float.

Everyone knows diamonds are the heaviest metal
ruber bounce because too heavier for ground to take impact, meanwhile metal not bounce because not as heavy. gravity laws allow for bounce of heavier object to keep weight of earth even
The real heaviest metal are the friends we made along the way
metal is heavier than rubber in the same amount, but 1 kilo is 1 kilo no matter the material.
Since lockdown im squatting in my basement, using metal plate, and mentally it feel more heavy than rubber

50kg of rubber will weigh the same as 50kg of metal. Is this mega bait or are you just stupid user?
Metal is heavier, of course. It's metal!
Metal is heavier, as it has the higher density, resulting less volume for the same mass. This in turn results in less buoyancy (due to lower volumes of surrounding medium being displaced), meaning that you need to exert more force to lift it.
However, this has virtually no effect, as buoyancy is negligible in air due to the massive difference in density. Would be different if you were to lift under water though.
He wasn't talking about weight (mass) though, but about which was heavier (greater downwards force).
If rubber flexes/wobbles it could be heavier than metal weights, it might help with twitch muscles
RUBBER will be harder to lift than metal because rubber is flexible! If the rubber weights wobble around they take kinetic energy. That means lifting rubber weights will feel heavier and requires more strength.

Why does this thread exist
50lbs of lead is heavier than 50lbs of feathers so you're right, OP.
rubber = black = absorbs all light + rubber = wobbles = rubber more heavy
Metal cast plates are calibrated like shit. Your "45"lb plates could really be 43.5 or 46.
calibrated steel discs are a real kick in the dick if you're used to regular iron or training bumpers
Most relevant this meme will ever be.

Metal plates feel heavier. Rubberized plates feel like toys. A bar full of metal weights doesn't look fun to throw around. It looks serious business.
So I would say the psychological weight of metal plates is higher.

that's why girls use pink dumbbells, the pink color makes it look less heavy
