Is it okay to do so?

Also, what if it's connected to a machine, like a smith machine or maxrack?

Trying to create 15lb increment with only 10lb & 5lb plates. For now I just went up to 20lb with 2x10lb plates but I wanted to know if 10+5 was advisable

Change plates are pretty cheap on Amazon

Mm I'd rather just round up or down for now, but good to know that there's an option

Also, curiosity.

If you must try this, swap sides every set (and do an even number of them)
