I do not understand . How is switching from 25# to 10# , and a previous switch from 45s to 25s .... the same weight?Today was gym day so
Highlight was my idea to switch from 25 lb weights to 10 lb weights on the trap bar. I had previously switched from 45s to 25s. Same amount of weight just more of them. Using 10 lb plates forces you to have knees nearly fully bent for the pickup and each repetition. Oh boy! Got very winded with each set, loved it.
Second highlight was getting some military presses complete with 40 lb dumbbells.
Here you make it sound as though 10# in this position is more exertion ?Using 10 lb plates forces you to have knees nearly fully bent for the pickup and each repetition.
I'm guessing the weights he's using are different diameters, so the lighter the weight the smaller the diameter, which starts the lift closer to the floor.I do not understand . How is switching from 25# to 10# , and a previous switch from 45s to 25s .... the same weight?

Correct.I'm guessing the weights he's using are different diameters, so the lighter the weight the smaller the diameter, which starts the lift closer to the floor.
To get equal weights you just add more plates. He started with two 45# plates, then switched to two 25# and maybe four 10# plates. Weight is the same but lift starts 2" closer to the floor which he reasons equals more exertion.
