I would say:

1HP

Good - 4 dimes / 40 blob / 2x25s

Real Good - 5 dimes / 50 blob / 2 x 35's / 45 blob by the face

Elite - 6 dimes / 50 blob by the face / 2 x 45's / 3 x 25s / 2 x 45s (York) / 50 blob + weight

2HP

Good - 150 lbs

Real Good - 180+

Elite - 200+

Great summary Smitty, I'd add 45 blob by the face to "real good". It'd be kind of fun to try to rank order them by degree of difficulty.

Great add Odin...

Are 2x35s really in the same league as the 50lb blob?

I don't think that's going to be possible since there are people with different handsizes (again a post on it ).

Someone with 9" hands might have it easier to lift a blob by its face then lifting the blob in a conventional way.

Someone with 7" hands will never lift a blob by it's face merely because his hands don't fit around it.

Then you also have the fact that people differ, one might find it easier to lift a blob then to lift 2 plates or visa versa.

but it would be nice if possible though

thank you, friends!

i am sorry for my english.

what are "dimes"?

and did you mean: one-hand-pinch with: 2x12,5 kg, 2x 15 kg and 2x20 kg - plates?

yesterday i tried 4 x 5 kg plates, but the slipped away

Dimes are plates that weight 10lbs each.

And, yes about the 1 hand pinch weights, in the states, they are all measured in lbs, so when you convert to kg, you are actually lifting slightly different weights , e.g, 2x45's becomes 2x44's, but the feat is still considered in the same league i think.

Dimes are slang for ten pound plates.

Two 10, 15, and 20 kilogram plates are the closest metric equivalent of the plates Smitty cited in pounds.

Plates that don't mate up evenly make pinching multiple plates even more difficult, as they wobble.

dimes = about 5 kg-plate (every day you can learn a bit)

thanks
