>he counts the plates

Serious question from someone who has pretty much only done cardio for a lifetime:

Why not count the bar?

>>40554536
because the bar is a given

>>40554536
It's important to keep your True power level a secret, even from yourself.

>>40554492
>he doesn't subtract the bar weight due to the mechanical advantage it gives via leverage

>>40554536
All the bars weight 45 pounds so people instinctively know that When you say " I bench 225" you actually mean " I bench 270"

Counting the bar is a way to inflate your ego.

>he doesn't calculate work done in relation to height and arm/leg length and scale it in terms of average height and arm/leg length

No, counting the bar is a way to accurately keep track of the amount of weight you are capable of lifting.

>i lifted the bar
>i lifted 0 lbs

i know it's bait, but there are impressionable minds here, /fit/

>>40555689
obviously you count the bar in that case. you just don't count it when you put plates on, because the listed weight of the plates already includes the weight of the bar .

>>40554580
Don't listen to this troll.

>>40554555
great post

>He says he lifted one plate
>He really lifted two plates

>>40555741
fucking this. I don't know why everyone on this board says a 2pl8 bench is so hard to achieve. I was able to hit 135lbs the first time i walked into the gym. 2pl8 is nothing.

>>40555544
>>40555689

Yes, thank you. As an example, the bar for my home gym is only 8kg, the gym has the 20kg standard. Not counting the bar would be fucking ridiculous.

Not going to make it bro.

>>40555942
Well if that's the case I'm a SSJ God since I can do 225lbs 12 times. Makes me feel better.

>>40556002
