You yanks need to use the metric system already!

Edit: 358lbs = 162kilograms (Was this a front of back squat?) 264lbs = 119kilograms 407lbs = 184kilograms

For those who don't lift that's extreme impressive strength.

-2 points for suggesting the metric system or the conversions?

I've given you a point for suggesting the conversions, but it's possible you were downvoted for snarking.

Thanks. It most likely the snarking. I wish I could have bragged about converting someone to the metric system though.

I share your frustration with imperial units, but theres a technical solution

I try to use US units on US-centric forums. The actual numbers were 162.5kg (back) squat, 120kg bench press, and 185kg deadlift.

I was about the third weakest person in my weight class. Powerlifters are strong.
