Not necessarlily. The density of Iron is 7.86 g/cm^3. The density of steel varies between 7.48 and 8.00 g/cm^3. So, depending on what type of steel was used for the plates, they can be lighter or heavier than the iron ones.
As a side note, steel plates are less likely to rust.

No, just letting you know where to post these kind of comments. There are off-topic forums so this doesn’t get mixed into the lifting aspect of this website.

This is interesting. Thank you. Good to remember.
i’m guessing that since steel as an allow is “denser”
you would be using slightly slimmer plates but still same amount of resistance, b/c if it says 45 pounds…
it’s probably 45 pounds
in other words
i don’t really think u should give a fuck unless u like the look of one plate better than the other

This guy calls them metal. I have always referred to it as iron.
But I have heard of steel weights. Are they different from iron (metal(?)).
Steel is heavier than iron. You’ll have to lower your poundage if you move to steel weight. [/quote]
LOL
classic!

i still think 1 lb of feathers < 1 lb of lead… isn’t it obvious people?
shouldn’t have even touched this one
You do know to line up with the earth’s magnetic field, right? That’s why you’ll see power racks in most gyms oriented so that the bar lies on a north-south axis.
If you line the bar up on the east-west axis, you’ll either be fighting the earth’s magnetic field on the concentric portion of your lifts (if you’re facing north), or on the eccentric portion (if you’re facing south). These are of course reversed if you’re lifting in the southern hemisphere.
If you wanted to get pedantic, you would take into account the difference between true north and magnetic north for your particular location. But this is generally not worth the trouble.
Stainless steel and non-ferromagnetic alloy weight sets are not affected by the earth’s magnetic field. Neither are those cheap cement-filled plastic weight sets that you cajoled your Dad into buying you when you were 13 years old.

Both steel and iron plates are metal.
I am pretty sure 45lbs of steel and 45lbs of iron both weigh 45lbs. Don’t quote me on that though.[/quote]
But they both weigh more than 45 pounds of feathers.

I like to use Mercury weights. They’re a lot less stable and work your stabilizer muscles much more (which are muscles so rare, they aren’t on an anatomy chart).[/quote]
They also make a great addition to your protein shakes.

Hmmm…How much does a 45 lbs. website weigh?
