Which way do you put the plates on?

A is the way

A, I try to stay away from all forms of ego lifting

B master race reporting in

>>41172283

Why does it matter?

dont care as long as they face the same way

>>41172319
I see people at the gym doing it both ways so if one way is right then that's more people that I can be better than

A is the proper way.

C

However I pick them up first. Who cares how they face?

>>41172283
b, how else are you dyel faggots gonna know how much more I lift than you?

B is the superior way. therefore the lip of the plate faces outwards and allows you to pinch and slide plates on easily with one hand

A reverses this and requires two hands to easily slide. INFERIOR

C. First plate facing in, the rest out.

>>41172296
Same

>>41172296
platelets, when will they learn?

>>41172350
By the size of the plate?

my gym has symmetrical plates
I win

A is the actual correct way. Strong people will judge you if you do B style.

>>41172283
A is the way, so you can grip the plate easier taking it off.
If the plates are new and have holes, it doesn't matter

Would lifting this be the same as lifting two pl8s?

A so I can grip the lip with my fingers

>>41172707
Wouldn't one side produce more torque than the other?

Flat sides in, so basically A. Anything else makes me REEEEEEE pretty hard

>>41172283
B is the only correct answer, because the other way means you'd have to flip them over, which people don't do, which leads to them racking the pl8s on the flat side, which IS FUCKING BULLSHIT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHICH PLATE IS WHICH AND I HAVE TO UNRACK THEM ALL AND REEEEEEEEE

Whichever way I had it on my hands brah

>>41173104
If you can't recognize a pl8 by the size, then you've got some fucking lifting to do, faggot

>>41173104
didn't you ever learn to match shapes in kindergarten?

>weights producing torque

>>41173109
>>41173119
My gym has a mix of plates in both KG and LB that are the same size but vary by a couple of pounds

Like the 15kg plates are 33 lbs and are the same size as the 35lb plates

>>41173157
But that's wrong.

>>41173160
>comparing 35s to a pl8

M8 you've got autism real bad.

>>41172707
if you calculate torque, you'd probably be putting more strain on whatever hand (or shoulder/trap for squats) is supporting the side on the left

>>41173180
THE PLATES DONT PRODUCE TORQUE

I saw a dude today decline benching with plates on the bar 25-45-25. Was he memeing or is there a point to this or does it not matter at all what order you put the plates on the bar.

>>41173190
Probably drop sets.

>>41173164
How so? Did you do the math?

>>41173241
Because there's no reason for it to vary considering it's the same weight on the same fulcrum. Any difference in CoM would be negligible

>>41172999
I think you mean the moment of inertia would be different

>>41173048
>>41173135

>>41173157
>>41173164
What if I put all the plates on one side and then set the bench at an angle so the weight would be in the middle

>>41173356
If the plates (not including bar) weigh 180 and assuming the lifter has a positive equilibrium on his center of gravity, what is θ?

>>41173404
what is a positive equilibrium? should i add more plates? is that what that means?

>>41173356
huh

im trying to think of reasons that this won't work but i can't

>>41172469
Platelets clotting up the works

>>41173404
depends on the dimensions of the rack my man

Idk I lift at home and my 45s are the same on both sides

>>41173584
For scale's sake let's stay true to his picture and say the bench is 8 inches up the ramp and the lifter lies 12 inches high. Just in case the bench's width comes into play, let's say it's 20 inches wide.

This thread reminded me of a chat I had with a mathematician I lifted with last year when I was in grad school. We were talking about how we as 3D beings use genus 1 objects to lift and train and if higher dimensional beings use other sort of objects with genera different from 1 to lift.

A because all the youtube celerys do it

For me its B.

>>41172330
Neither a nor b have the plates facing the same way.

My gyms plates has them printed on both sides

I think only dyels give this thing a thought.

Dissapointed

>>41172283
I used to do B, until I saw everybody else doing A
ever since I explicitly started training for powerlifting, I started "kilo" loading where I'll have all the plates facing inward save for the outermost 45 if I'm pulling more than one plate, and all sub-45-lbs-plates, and microplates

Why the fuck does it matter?????

Anyone who has been to a gym for more than a fucking week knows exactly how much you're lifting whether they're looking at the back or front of a pl8

>not having rubber plated with no side differences

Why do your safeties need pussy pads?

>>41173356
theoretically it could work, but it would be very hard to match up. could be impossible depending on the weights/ lengths of the bar/rack because the sum of moments would have to equal zero.

i put them on the same way i picked them up, you fucking spergs

>>41172283
FUCK YOU

>>41175053
If bars had no bend or whip then it wouldn't matter where you put the weights, but if you are lifting REAL weight, i.e. 5 plate deathlifts then the weights are going to be bouncing at different leverage points when the bar flexes I.E. stfu dyel
