Don't listen to retards and trolls.
You don't include the bar because it's understood that you have to use it. Everybody already knows.

>>42050651
yeah

Yes. 315= 3 plates on both sides and the bar, 225= 2 plates on both sides and the bar. No one just counts the weights

>>42051239
ugh it sucks to try and troll newbies, why not just be helpful? no ONE experienced counts the bar

>>42050651

Don't count the bar, but also the standard "plate" size is 25 lbs. People get confused sometimes and think 50 lbs is a plate because that's what they use in the magazines, but 25 lbs are the most common so that's the one most people use when they say lmao4pl8.

Am I wrong to assume that we all use the 15kg Olympic bars?

of course you don't count the bar.

everyone uses different bars in gyms all over, so it wouldn't be fair to count it.

just count the pl8s

>tfw i've been asking this question for 3 years on /fit/ but have never gotten a straight answer

i diddle 3pl8's, so how much should i say i lift? 270 or 315?

>>42051805
315, you're still lifting 45 extra pounds with that 270

>>42051805
270, unless you want to inflate your numbers like >>42051828

no hoax all professionals count the bar, men's olympic bars are 45 lbs.

smaller bars are for womyn and are 35lbs.

>>42051805
315, people saying 270 are just trolling you.

>>42050651
No you dont because the bar is implied in the lift you're doing. Adding the bar is negligible to the weight added onto the sides

yes you count the bar it should weigh like 20kg

>>42051860
nice inverse psychology, i dig it

>>42051842
its womxn now.

the y is too misogynist because of male sex chromosomes

>>42051984
Okay, next time you reach your max or near max add a 45lb plate or the equivalent thereof to your lift.

Report results and apologise to the rest of us for saying such a stupid thing.

>>42053720
you're not getting it bud, he say IMPLIED, not imaginary or some shit, it just isn't counted
