Kilogram Conversion Chart

[com202]

Wasn't sure where the best place to post this would be. Here looks good.

The site above is to a Kilogram Conversion Chart. Also an option for printable version at top of the chart. Some cool clothing and other stuff also.

It helped me and hopefully it will help somebody else here.

just times the lbs by 2.2

If you want to easily type in any figures and have them quickly converted, here's what I recommended and still use almost daily when visiting Gripboard: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=12722&hl=

1kg = 2.2lbs

To convert kilos to lbs, multiply the number in kgs by 2, then add the resulting number divided by 10

So 50kgs = (50*2)+(50*2)/10 = 100 + 100/10 = 110lbs

As for going from lbs to kilos, I'm American. The only time we use kilos is in science class.

1Ibs=0,45kg

so from Ibs to kilos just multiply the ibs with 0,45 to see the weight in kilos. Simple as that

Apparently I'm the only one who didn't know the conversion.

Thanks everybody you all made my life easier.

2.20462262lbs = 1 kiggy

to do it in ur head.

take like 45kg x 2 = 90lbs

now you just need to find the 0.2 of 45kg, which is easy.

just go 0.1 x 45kg = 4.5kg (just move the decimal over to the left 1 space)

and then 4.5kgx2 =9 (now u have 0.2 of 45 kg)

now just add that up and you have 90lbs+9lbs = 99lbs = 45kg

so to review.

step 1 -take ur kgs multiply it by two.

step 2- take the kigs move the decimal to the left 1 spot, then times that number by 2.

step 3- now add those 2 numbers together and you have it in lbs. done all in your head.

I've noticed that the US Military uses metric (km, m, L, kg et cetera). Does anyone else know what other organizations also use it? NOAA? NIST?

My bumper plates are all kilos and it's pounds on everything else so in the beginning I made up a chart that's still on the wall. The chart saves my brain when I'm too tired to do it in my head quickly and helps anyone who stops in for a workout figure out what they did. If you don't want to make your own, I'll be glad to send you a spreadsheet of mine or there are some places on the net you can find it as well. The chart also lets you do # to kilos which I can't do in my head.

[supermagnamon]

don't remind about kilos. i'm still not good in converting them quickly.

Just use google calculator if you need to do conversions.

Go to google, and type in something like "450 pounds in kilograms"

or "640000 metres in miles"

Seems like not many people know about this, but it's useful.

like mentionned above 2.2 is the magic number, it's really just baby math;

lbs to Kg------> divide lbs by 2.2 ex: 250lbs/2.2 =113.6Kg

Kg to lbs-------> MULTIPLY by 2.2 ex: 113.6 Kg X 2.2 =250 lbs

Unit conversion factor from Inches to mm is 25.4 (there are 25.4 mm per inch), 2.54 cm per inch; 0.254 decimeters per inch; 0.0254 meters per inch....there are 1.6 KM per mile...

Ishh i kinda sounded like a smartass after reading this post again, i didn't mean too.
