Question When you tell other people (Let's not kid ourselves,

do you lift the bar or just the weights ?

nobody includes the weight of the bar unless you're a total sperge

bonus protip: plates marked 45lbs actually weigh less than 45lbs because there is a hole cut in the middle.

I just tell them how many bars I lift
eg. I lift 3 bars = I lift 60kg
6 bars = 120kg etc.

you never count the bar

>>39593075
are you stupid or something?

if I do a log press do I count the log or just the weights I add to it ?

>>39593097
You count the size of the log that came out of your anus when you pressed the weights.

>>39593055
If you have a 20 kg bar with 20 kg on both sides it is 20 kg, because everybody knows you lift the bar and that you have weights on both sides. You havr to be so fucking insecure to do anything else

>>39593055
I don't actually include my lifts with a barbell, that's training shit.

If somebody at work asks what i lift, I answer 'that anvil, over my head'.
If somebody outside work asks what I lift, I answer 'your mom'.

If somebody in the gym asks what I lift, I answer 'more than you'.

>>39593089
so if I have 1pl8 on a 20kg bar I basically only lift 20kg because I have to subtract the weight of the bar from the loaded weights ?

>>39593089
Jesus, are you retarded or trolling?
The bar still has a weight and still add to the weight that pushes back at you.

>he didn't take high school physics

I never count the weights because they are attached to the bar, therefore, are lifted by the bar.

Dud, this thread again?
Nobody believes this shit!
Nobody counts the bar!

LMAO i love this argument "do you lift the bar? yes then count it"

i also lift my arms when bench pressing..should i count those too?

instead of ego lifting and wanting to invent more numbers to add to your total just do the work

>>39593388
of course you should. you should also take in consideration your elevation since the further away from core you are, lesser the gravity.

>>39593089
This, the bar becomes weightless after you put plates on both sides.

Basic physics

>>39593089
>not accounting for the negative weight of the holes in the plates
>being this much of an amateur

You include the bar and the weight of your hands.

>>39593388
why does powerlifting and olympic lifting and strongman include the weight of the bar? you know better than them, explain it to me.

>>39593388
This. Also I hope you record your weights lifted in kgs, don't want no ego boost with the phony bigget numbers in lbs!

>>39593085
kek underrated

I include the bar because not all bars I use weigh the same.
Also, when you do bodyweight squats, how much do you squat? Minus 20kg or something?

This is why when I bench I don't use a bar. Allows me to lift more.

I use barrels and men as measurements

kek, clearly never seen a fatty try to lift their arms

>>39593169

>do you also include the weight of the bar?
Will you idiots stop posting stupid-ass memes like this one, please? WEIGHT IS WEIGHT, YOU LIFT ALL OF IT.

If I bench 120kg do I tell people I bench 100kg? No because I'm not retarded

I can't fucking believe this is starting to be a meme

>>39594937
It's been a STUPID MEME for a long time now -- and it needs to DIE, along with a whole list of stupid-ass memes.
