i could see it in a dosage situation. like grams of steroids per pound of user. sure, it’s goofy to mix metric and imperial, but that’s just what those two things are commonly measured with in America. time spent doing unit conversations is time spent not lifting.

Yeah exactly it’s often used as grams of protein per pound of bodyweight for recommending protein intake.

I’m not sure how to feel about that part. But I can’t say you’re wrong. I try to stay away from anh US customary units. As most would agree, they kinda suck in comparison to SI

  that’s fair, but all the equipment and scales in their gym will be labeled in pounds.
