Loading fast in a real Indian gym

Most Indian gym bars are 20kg, and the plate pile is a democracy of 20s, 10s, 5s and 2.5s — so memorize your regular loads cold: 60 is a 20 per side, 80 adds a 10, 100 is two 20s per side. When the gym owns only two 15kg plates (someone’s always using them), 90kg becomes 20+10+2.5×2 per side — same bar, different arithmetic. Load big plates innermost, collars always (a sliding plate mid-squat is a horror film), and count the bar. Everyone forgets the bar exactly once, publicly.
