When talking about the weight you lift, do you include the

>>40406217
yes

>>40406217
yee

>>40406217
of course not
you're a dyel if you do

>>40406217
Do you lift the bar? Then yes you count the weight retard

Total weight, yes.

When considering if I'm lifting 1pl8, 2pl8, etc., no.

no, my numbers are all LEGIT

>>40406244
do you lift your arms? should i weigh my arms too and add them too my bench?

>>40406217
>add bar
>add clips
>remove hole weight of plates
>add upper body weight if squatting (plus t-shirt weight), arms for bench/OHP etc.
>factor in latitude and altitude to ensure you adjust for gravitational pull

>>40406268
Of course you do

>>40406268
This argument is retarded, your arms are doing the lifting.

Moving your arms up is moving nothing.

Moving your arms up while holding something with weight is different you autist.

>>40406217
Only on light days.

>>40406217
Let me guess, you don't think you should weigh your arms, clips or even gravitational pull? You do know Olympian's train at a higher altitude due to increased gravity, right?

Ngmi

The eternal question right?

I dont. Some people do, others dont. Either case its only 10 kg or so, depends on the bar. I guess some dyel use that weight to brag, it adds up to their pathetic low numbers. Once you reach a decent weight on your lifts it doesnt really make the difference whether you count the bar or not.

>>40406405
What? Pls tell me oly bars are 20kg, not 10. I'm DYEL and need the extra :(

>>40406419
they are

>>40406422
phew thanks anon

>>40406405
The regular 7ft bar should always weigh 20kg or 44.1lbs, between 28 and 29 mm in diameter.

If it doesn't then it's a piece of junk not suitable for powerlifting.

>remove hole weight of plates

wut

I include a spear tip for home defense

>>40406217
I only include the weight of the bar

>>40406217
ye.
Only possible exception I can think of is describing it in plates. 2 pl8 is 225 lbs, but it's easier to say the other say. Remember that the bar isn't always the same weight - different bars weigh different amounts.
Simple shit, really.

>>40406449
The plate weighs the nominal weight on the side *before* the hole is added. So you have to use simple trigonometry you learned in 9th grade to figure out the weight of the cylinder that got removed from the middle.

Super simple stuff.

Retard in a home gym on a standard bar benching 40kg and thinking his input is relevant.

Good luck finding n% of your 1RM without counting the bar

>>40406762
this, but a basic knowledge of vector calculus and the plate's Carnot efficiency is helpful, if you're treating the plate as a perfect heat engine

But yeah, baby stuff for all but the most novice lifter

Yes.
I also take into account the atmospheric pressure and position of the moon whenever I try to set a PR.Z

>>40406268
Are you trying to say the bar is an extension of your body? That's deep.

>he doesn't check the astrological charts before lifting
>unironically lifting when Venus is in retrograde

Enjoy your nogainz

kek

>>40406305
gravity is weaker at higher altitudes tard

When people say they deadlift 5plates, do they mean dinner plates? Why do people aim for 1/2/3/4? Dinner plates are so light!

never gonna make it brah

>>40406843
I have a PhD in Plateulus with distinction in lifting field equation analysis. It only took 7 years to find out I can either know how much I lift or how fast I'm lifting, but I can never be certain of both at the same time.

The question weather an infinite weight can be lifted by an infinite force has still not been answered conclusively, bit that's for the younger generation to solve.
