on whether plates are loaded flat side in or out? I know it's broscience, but either way you see newbs loading flat side in and experienced lifters out.
Does?

>I know it's broscience
It's not even broscience.
It is though: further center of gravity is negligible, wobble doesn't really happen, grip shouldn't be an issue if you're a grown man.
I still load flat side out, but it's only because I was taught that way. You can chimp out and scream all you want, but I just wanted to know your take. gay
>further center of gravity is negligible
Yeah let's see your noodle arms cuck
>Gets worked up about a half inch center of gravity change
I'm the noodle arm cuck. Just lift fag
Flat side out always senpai. Homosexuals do it the other way and they're gay.
>I know it's broscience
You are literally brain fucking dead. I won't even try to explain this to you because you are too fucking stupid to comprehend such a simple thing.
easier to grip the plates when you load them flat side out
I find it to be the opposite. With the flat side out, I have to use both hands to get them off the previous plate, with numbers out I can just grab the lip and pull them off one handed.
To answer OP, it doesn't matter, and if you're worried about what people might think about you based off how you load the plates you should probably kys
Homosexual detected.
You guys are so sensitive. I don't give a fuck what people at the gym think of me and I'm not worried about which way I load. Flat side out btw. I just wanted to know what everyone's thoughts about it were
I'm not that weak. Gripping a 45lb plate should not be an issue for a grown man from either side
Flat side out signals that you're into receiving homosexual sex, whereas flat side in shows that you're the one doing the fucking.
What if I do one siden in, one out?
you'll develop assymetries
Flat side out, it looks retarded the other way
outside and I don't want to hear a fucking word about it. the further the center of gravity it is from the center, the better it works your stabilizers -> a better more solid more tight bench.
>t. 2.5 plate bench
>the further the center of gravity it is from the center, the better it works your stabilizers
>t. 2.5 plate bench
I won't even read your opinion so if you wrote flat side in you're gay and should have a nice day. Anyone below 3pl8 bench is a subhuman beginner lifter
Benching under 4 plates and thinking people will respect your opinion.
How am I supposed to let the other people know how strong I am if they can't read the weights with flat side out?
Are you retarded?????????????
No
Yes you are you dumb moron. Click on the op image and check if you can read the weight flat side out.
Yeah, but what if it's a 35lber trying to act like a 45er, like the plate in the bottom picture? Or is that how you got your 2pl8 bench, by hiding 35s in the middle... You sneaky queen
Maybe your little brain can't see the difference between 45s and 35s but mine doesn't have that problem. You need to start going to the gym my black friend.
>2pl8 bench
Don't insult me gay
Just seems like you're trying hide something, breh... Flash them numbers, let the whole world know... I don't care if you're lying about you numbers, you can keep hiding the fake plates in the middle, doesn't matter to me, bro
>Just seems like you're trying hide something, breh...
Yeah, I'm trying to hide the fact I fucked your mother about 20 years ago, we tried to abort the baby but that motherfucker had too strong will to live. Now he's alive but the hammer on your mother's belly left some developmental damage...
if you cared about weight distribution for working stabilizers you would use clamps or smaller plates to load the bar further out. you're a retard if you think the orientation of the plates has anywhere near the same effect as just putting a 2.5 lb plate on outside the 45s or loading a 35 and a 10.
the best way to load them is in a completely random and nonsensical order, some facing in and others facing out
thats the only way to repel the radiowaves from reading your thoughts while you lift and stealing the secrets of the subconscious human hivemind
fuck I do this, I need each side symmertical though
Everyone who says flat side in skips leg day. No one loads the bar on the squat rack with flat side in.
I bet you use both hands to take the plates off
>32 replies and still no one has said it
Flat side out for the first plate, and flat side in for all the others.
Jesus Chirst, this board is so stupid.
>Flat side out for the first plate, and flat side in for all the others.
Fucking amerimutt with his non binary plate fluid bullshit. It's either flat side in (the gay retarded way) or flat side out (the right way)
>first plate flat side out, all others flat side in
Literally invented to help advertise plate brands at powerlifting meets.
I agree with Rippetoe. First plates are flat side out. Remaining plates are flat side in. It’s just how I learned in school
Either way is fine
As long as the plates aren't spinning, I'm happy.
>doesn't matter in the slightest
>retards are arguing about it
lol
lmao
Go back, newfag.
I intentionally load them asymmetrically
