ah yes, the crooked bench press is my favourite. Really builds those stabilizers.

Lmaokek. Your school is probably 200 huh

it does not exert weight on the plate it exerts equal amount of pressure against it. fuck off and stop trying to think your smart when you dont even have half a brain

You also have to take into account the buoying effect of the air between the ground and the bar. Imagine the bar as floating on top of a pool of water that rises up as you lift it.

As you raise the bar you push air out of the way and air quickly collapses into the space below, just as water fills the space you occupy in a pool as you get out.

What does this mean? It means you're lifting far less weight than you think you are because the rush of air under the plates as you lift basically pushes the weight up for you. A 215lb bench press is really more like 170lbs.
