Actually Linds, looking at the first pic it might be to do with the peg in the middle? But the discrepancy between the numbers gets bigger doesn't it?

Article on reddit, not a source I often use; however, the 1st reply, although it's 5 years old, seems to make sense. tl:dr 'This is the conversion between the Machine Weight and the Free Weight. Essentially one number is the actual weight of the plates that are being lifted, and the other is the weight when you consider the assistance provided by simple machines (levers/pulleys) used in the machine...' reddit.com |

I went back to the gym today. Gym was very quiet. One lady told me she hadn't intended to be back in the gym so soon, but over the festive period her grandson asked her if she has a baby in her tummy 😲

Pix - she laughed about it. She told her grandson it was chocolate, not a baby.

I laughed too. I reckon 'Out of the mouths of babes,' and all that! Should say it to a few blokes I see kicking around Hastings sea front. Talk about Gut Lords marching!

I was back at the gym today. It was a little busier than usual but not too bad yet. I need to build a new plan as mine wasn’t satisfying today. |
