do you count in the clips?

no I don't use any

I don't squat or barbell bench press

>>39317531
Once when I hadn't got enough fractionals I ended up weighting a bunch of clips and using them instead.

I feel bad for poor people who have to use clips like that

yeah i also count my will to live

>>39317700
How bad does your stability need to be for this to be necessary?

do you count the arm/legs?

>guy at work tells me he has a 100 kg bench
>join him at the gym to see if he is just talk
>he benches two plates and goes 'see i told you, 100 kg!'
>he was actually counting the bar as well
>mfw

>>39317531
i always wondered how much these clips weighted because i want to use them for OHP progress

>>39317781
The bar is 20.4 kg. Unless you have some sort of sissy bar in your gym

Count everything you're lifting, so yes.
>>39317784
2 standard clips typically weigh about 1.5 - 2 pounds

But of course :) *Clips Fedora*

>>39317797
i always thought it was 10kg fml

>>39317531
is it supposed to cut blood circulation or is mine too tight?

>>39317797
The bars is a zero moment arm when there weights at the ends

Lrn2physics

>>39317537
Dee why ee el

>>39317874
It's only a zero moment arm when you have one plate on each side. As you add plates, the zero moment arm goes negative, making the bar weigh less than air

LEARN2PHYSICS :0)

>>39317531
my penis grew by 2 inch after I used a clip I swear by it

>>39317531
yes

but i also count the dust that settles on the bar and weights

>>39317542

>Using clips

Yeah after I factor in the weight of my legs, the bar and clips I'm squatting about 230

>>39318996
damn...

>>39318996
This is amazing. Wish they had taken the time to make it look nicer and make the verbage more believable.

>>39317531
If I use them yes, they are like a pound or two. One pound is all it takes for you to not be able to lift something.

Not very much weight desu

>>39317700
Enjoy your 2" forearms you fucking skelly

>>39317537
what a fucking faggot

>>39319119
I actually got told off by a staff member for not using clips on my warmup. I kept insisting that there wasn't any weight on the bar (it was only 1pl8) but she didn't get it.

>>39319356
the staff at my student gym makes us use them even if there's no weight on the bar, I got told off twice by them for it and when I tried using logic to tell them why thats stupid, they threatened to take away my water fountain pass

>>39319420
>they threatened to take away my water fountain pass
fucking kek

>>39317531
That's almost as bad as counting the bar

>clips

I think you mean magazines.

>>39317531
lol that'd be as retarded as counting the fucking bar or your arms or whatever

>>39317537
>using clips for squat or bench

ayy

>>39318996
this is stupid as fuck. why does the hole necessarily mean the plate lighter than 45lb? the plate is weighed and manufactured to specs. they dont fucking calculate what the weight would be using the volume of a cylinder and the density of steel or what the fuck ever.

>>39323072
Why do new lifters always think natty means jacked? I remember thinking it too but never knew why.

>don't use clips
>people always look at me weird
>meanwhile they're lifting the bar at a 45° angle

I only use clips for rows and deadlifts cause I find even if the weights lightly tap the ground, they slide all over the place.

>>39323182
I think it has do with the idea that someone might be "naturally fit"

Natty is = not using steroids etc

>>39323072
>soon I will be natty
What? You on juice or something?
