You are using your muscles to lift your own bodyweight too, do you count your own body in the lift?

>>38420716
I weigh 141kg and squat 60kg so that means I'm squatting 200 right?

>>38421154
although that is with the bar included so I should say 180?

Do you count your bodyweight when you squat. Why not it is weight you are lifting with your muscles.

>he doesn't count his bodyweight when he squats with a weighted barbell

>>38420721
The plate isnt 20kg because theres a hole in it

>use a women's bar because weak
>can OHP negative 10 lbs
>mfw no face

>>38421409

The figure accounts for the hole in the plate.

>counting plates that are less than 20kg

?

>>38421523
not when the hole is filled by the metal bar. you have to calculate the density and subtract it to get an exact figure

>>38421409
My 20kg plates weigh something around 21-22 kg

>>38421638
did you forget to peel off the plastic packaging they came in?

Yes but that doesn't factor in retard because you always carry your body wieght.

>lift 1pl8, 60kg
>progress
>now at 2pl8
>get out calculator
>check weight of loaded bar
>100kg=2pl8
>/2=50kg=1pl8
>50kg/2=25kg
This means that a single plate of a 1/2pl8 lift weighs 2.5kg which results in an actual pl8 weighing 5kg. Little girls lift more than you do.

>>38421141
I do.

For squats, i count the weight of my body below the bar. To get this just lay on a scale with your upper back/head hanging off.
