How to Convert Kilograms to Lbs Using Your Brain

January 18, 2011 — Leave a comment

Normally with a calculator you can just multiply the amount in kg by 2.2 to get lbs. Here's an easy way I just discovered on how to convert kg to lbs.

Multiple the number in kg by 2.

eg. 85 * 2 = 170

Divide that number by 10

eg. 170 / 10 = 17

Add the first and second number together:

eg. 170 + 17 = 187

That's it! (and that's also my current body weight: 187 pounds)

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
