If you have ever set a lifting or bodyweight goal, 180 lb will ring a bell: it is 81.65 kg, the number on a lot of programme spreadsheets. I like it as a conversion example because it shows the gap between the tidy imperial figure and the untidy metric one. Nobody loads a bar to 81.65 kg, they load 80 or 82, but when the programme says 180 lb you now know exactly what the plates should add up to in kilos.
A quick tip from my bench: BMI categories shift with height, so always read the table row that matches your own height. The calculator on this site runs the same maths for any weight you type in.
