When you look at the size of an Olympic, I call them cookies, but a 45-pound plate, I suppose, that was arbitrarily chosen. In fact, it was actually chosen that if someone dropped the bar on the ground, your head could fit between the bar and the ground. That was where that original size of the cookie came from, is my understanding of it. People lifting alone quite often, is that why? Oh, yeah.
