Can i benchpress with one of these bars and just leave the screw

According to /fit/ the bar doesn't weigh anything and shouldn't be added to total weight

Why would you need clips if there's no weight? Why would you not use clips if there is?

the clips are the weight you dunce

>>41225088
Id be using weights. I mean for safety reasons if i had to dump the weights.

If the clips are too heavy for you I suggest you start with a broomstick and slowly add smears of peanut butter to work up to the clips. You can also eat the peanut butter for bonus protein after your workout

So you mean like of you didn't have a spotter? I'd say it's not a smart move, if you can't complete the rep, dumping half and dealing with the balance probably won't go very smoothly.

but the bar will be lighter again after

Perhaps you could devise some sort of system that catches your sweat and pipes it into cups attached to the broomstick. Then, as you get warmed up, your warm up sets will rack automatically.

Yeah basically. I see in videos people have the bars without threading and use those clamps. I bought one like that, but my weights dont fit on it.

Yes that works. I've dumped weights myself that way a few times. Hurts less than the roll of shame. Probably a bad idea if you lift heavy as fuck, though.
