The barbell itself weighs 20KG, you Black folk are either trolling or moronic thinking the bar starts at 0KG before adding weight.
Yes, the barbell itself weighs 20kg/45lbs. No, that doesn't mean you count it when you state your lifts. We count what we put on the barbell, not the entire weight of what we are lifting, by that logic the clamps count too. Only egolifters and broccoli heads do it to smuggle in an extra 20kg on their 1rm. Anyone can handle the bar, that's a common denominator.
By that logic I already squat 5pl8 because if you count the bar, your bodyweight counts too.
Do people other than teenagers actually do that? Just automatically detract 20kgs off any stated lift, in order to imagine what that guy actually puts onto the bar? Whoops, I got on a long pair of sweatpants instead of gym shorts today, gotta add another 1lb of weight when I state it lol

Yeah on Amazon they say the total item weight for one dumbbell is 20kg . . . The set is 40kg . . . Almost as if the arabic numerals cite the actual weight of the thing . . .

i can bench 60kg but still cant do a good curl with 20kg is that normal?
>counting the weight of a tool crafted to meet a universal olympic standard, which in turn was created specifically so that every lifter has a common denominator and you would not have to factor in individual bar weights
ok moron, don't forget to log the weight of your shirt while you're at it

The barbell actually does weigh 0 when you are bench pressing because of the way it bends. It bends down at the sides from the weight which pushes the middle (where you're holding it) upwards, negating the weight

the sad thing is that newbies will actually believe this shite
You're getting trolled, anon. You do count the bar. Most bars weigh 20kg, so if you're benching 60kg you have 20 kg on each side. The weight of the bar should be written on the sides of the bar, the little circle

oh okay lol, also how long should it take for me to progress, how often should i move up weight?
You are stronger than the vast majority of people in the world who are tubby dyels and also most of the zoomers and New Year morons in my gym can't bench 2 plates. GJ op keep up the good work and keep progressing.
If you pressed 40kg before, you are strong compared to your past self. Nothing else matters, if you are working in some physically hard and taxing field.
When i started i was benching 12.5 kg each side 12x now i can do 20kg each side 10x, that was 3-4 months ago do u think i'll improve just as fast or will it start to slow down?
bro i dont think you will be able to double your bench press every 3 months lol but think what you can do in two years and stick to it.. imagine benching 100 kg for reps, how sick would that be... does it matter if it takes you longer then 6 months from now
No you're not strong. You break out of embarrasing tier when you put on the 25 plates either side, you're not in strong for normie standards until your repping 90's. You're not actually strong until your repping above 100.
Why should it be lean bodyweight? That's moronic, a 100 pound person benching 1plate is impressive whereas a fat frick pressing 1 plate (as much as one of their dumps) is not
Your 1 rep max is around 80kg. Not strong.
Im 72kg what would u consider strong? reps and weight
Im 69kg 5'11" and bench 75 for 10
That's only 40kg, you don't count the bar.
wait for real? i thought people count the bar lol
Bar gets counted

Exactly do you count the handle when you do lat pulldowns?
Stupid zoomies.

If the handle weighs 45lbs, yes, you do.
but the handle is pulling down, it would subtract from the weight you moron
WARNING: WRONG INFO WARNING
People count the bar, stop being moronic
Yes you do. If, strengthlevel says so.
The barbell itself weighs 20KG, you Black folk are either trolling or moronic thinking the bar starts at 0KG before adding weight.
Nobody is claiming that the bar is weightless just that you don't count it in your total overall weight.
literally every strength sport counts the bar, it’s why it’s a standardized weight kek
>barbells weigh 0kg
Are you genuinely mentally handicapped or just trolling?
The barbell actually does weigh 0 when you are bench pressing because of the way it bends. It bends down at the sides from the weight which pushes the middle (where you're holding it) upwards, negating the weight
the sad thing is that newbies will actually believe this shite
I'm been weightlifting for 10 years and even I had to read it twice.
60kg = 1pl8
You don't count the bar in pl8. You count the bar in kg/lbs
So many fricking newbies that don’t know this meme. Sad!
it means you're a little bit stronger than the average adult man
ITT newbies who think you count the bar.
The bar isn't a weight plate, it's just the thing that holds the weight plates.
but does it weigh
or is it empty weight
Exactly, you say 'two plate' not 'two plate and the bar'
exactly two plate bench just means u r holding a plate per arm
Correct, but instead of holding them they're on a bar.
does it matter which bar? 2 pl8 bench is really easy with the pink bar at the gym.
You're getting trolled, anon. You do count the bar. Most bars weigh 20kg, so if you're benching 60kg you have 20 kg on each side. The weight of the bar should be written on the sides of the bar, the little circle
oh okay lol, also how long should it take for me to progress, how often should i move up weight?
>says 2pl8
>there are actually 4 pl8's
Probably stronger than most but you're not stronger than me
I'm the man in the cave
You're as strong as Leanbeefpatty, congrats!
Oh god she's annoying.
i never heard this b***h talk before, jesus christ i hate her.
Can't believe the amount of newbies in here who think you count the bar lmfao.
Strength is contextual.
this 100% is the kind of person who talks about their gender being fluid
And are these gender fluid persons in the room with you right now?
For clarification there is no context in which 10x60kg bench is strong.
You are stronger than the vast majority of people in the world who are tubby dyels and also most of the zoomers and New Year morons in my gym can't bench 2 plates. GJ op keep up the good work and keep progressing.
yeah you're stronger than me
Post the webm of anon bench pressing 8 bars (0 - zero - lbs) at once in the gym.
If you pressed 40kg before, you are strong compared to your past self. Nothing else matters, if you are working in some physically hard and taxing field.
Are not*
When i started i was benching 12.5 kg each side 12x now i can do 20kg each side 10x, that was 3-4 months ago do u think i'll improve just as fast or will it start to slow down?
bro i dont think you will be able to double your bench press every 3 months lol but think what you can do in two years and stick to it.. imagine benching 100 kg for reps, how sick would that be... does it matter if it takes you longer then 6 months from now
>all those anons taking the bait
They'll read these posts and keep replying anyway.
>people still falling for this ancient bait
Post body, ratface manlet.
To paraphrase Matthew McConaughey.
That's what I love about these newbies man. My bait gets older, they stay the same age
lol I never thought IST was full of so many low iq morons until I saw the obvious bait comment get so many replies
No you're not strong. You break out of embarrasing tier when you put on the 25 plates either side, you're not in strong for normie standards until your repping 90's. You're not actually strong until your repping above 100.
so benching 70kg is out of the embarssing tier?
also how many repps above 100 is strong in ur eyes, do u mean 1 rep max or?
6-8 reps. 70 is the first time you've actually got big boy weight on both sides of the bench.
Depends on your bodyweight. If it's 60 or below you're fine.
i weigh 72kg, i still have fat and will probs drop down to 60kg, but wont that effect my bench?
shouldn't it be lean bodyweight? why the frick would it matter if I'm 30%+ bf?
t. fatty with <60kg bench
Why should it be lean bodyweight? That's moronic, a 100 pound person benching 1plate is impressive whereas a fat frick pressing 1 plate (as much as one of their dumps) is not
What a gay thread
Can we all agree to strictly use lbs when discussing weights? I'm sick of having to go convert kg to figure out wtf were discussing. It's bs honestly
pl8s would be better. 70kg = 1.25pl8
i cant curl 45 lbs dumbells but i can bench 135lbs 10x is that werid, why can't i curl 45's?
No, just divide your lbs by 2, mr golem
Just times it by 2.2. 10kg is 22lbs, 50kg is 110lbs, etc.
Ur stronger than ur past self who couldn't bench that weight. Keep it up, king.
That's my warm-up
i can't even bench a dog bone my homie none of this shit matters.
