Interesting dissension when checking Google: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how%20much%20is%20a%20... :

In the US they use 45 lb bars and plates. So one plate (per side) is 135 lbs, two plates is 225 lbs, three plates is 315 lbs, four plates is 405 lbs, five is 495 lbs, six is 585, seven is 675 and so forth

also:

One plate is usually 20kg or 45lbs depending on where you live.

But:

A one-plate lift, then, is 135 pounds. Two plates is 225 pounds. Three plates is 315. Four plates is 405. Five plates is 495.

I changed the text after looking through a bunch of results.
