Not much of a powerlifter, but my working squat was > 2x bodyweight for a while.
I find it easier to lift weights in metric. It helps that I'm EU based, so my plates are in KG.
One plate is 20kg, and the bar is also 20kg
Jumps smaller than that,
10kg, 5kg, 2.5kg, 1.25 kg. I've never needed to get down to washers, 1.25 kg jump is small enough to make even with 'small muscle' exercises (wrist curls)
Powers of two all the way down, sums are easy.
The trick is to do sets of 12. Sets of 10 are too easy. So the dozenal still comes in :)
