the handle feel probably has a lot of dimensions. the balance of the weight too. smell? how does it smell when gripped with sweaty hands. a weights connoisseur is moderately string, but abolutely NOT jacked as shit, that would be like a wine connoisseur getting wasted. they do a few reps of each weight, just enough to capture the essence while leaving room for the other weights. they have a collection of their favorite weights that they'll do occasionally a short set with to wind down for the evening, but when they go to the gym they lift the regular gym weights like everyone else

i mean, they love going to a fancy gym to try out their house weights. but if they're just meeting up with the boys to lift some pounds, they can just go with the flow and use the machines
