The Bar

>>35593326
Always include the bar.

>>35593326
i also factor in gravity

yes the bar is included

>>35593326
Yes, people always add the 90 lb for the bar

Yes but you divide it by 2 and add half to each side because you're using 2 hands

>>35593326
No, the bar is weightless due to the gravitational infetterence

>>35593326
Yes.

Standard bar is 45lbs; however some gyms are gay and use bars that only weigh between 15-25. Always check the weight of your bar; it will usually state its weight on the ring at the end.

I don't feel like such a puss now, I thought the weights people talked about were just the plates not counting the bar. Thanks guys.

spoke to a guy at the gym a few days ago. He said he includes his body weight minus like 20 pounds on his squat. i asked why

"because everything above your knees is being lifted as well."

>>35593326
well that depends. are you LIFTING the bar or is it just sitting somewhere off to the side?

learn to think you fucking moron LMAO.

Depends if it's been raining or not.
