Yeah, i can lift a 45 pounds kettlebell or plate but i can't lift the bar, it's weird.
A bar has a different moments of inertia from the kettlebell and plate. So lifting it is going to be different from either of them in terms of the work your arms have to do to stabilize the motion while lifting. Plus how you grip things can change the muscle groups you use when lifting things enough to make a difference for some motions.
>Horse cock feels good anon don’t knock it. I pity those that have never had a Horse cock induced full body orgasm
now.... does this seem like something a sane person would say?
Hardly comparable though are they, the male centre of satisfaction exists within reach of the anus (which is guaranteed to give you a far stronger orgasm than your penis ever could) meanwhile literally no one on earth can properly take a horse penis without serious internal damage. Also IST has always been a traditionally gay board, fuck off back from whence you came newfag

Anon.... normal people view you exactly like this example. > the male centre of satisfaction exists within reach of the anus (which is guaranteed to give you a far stronger orgasm than your penis ever could)
See this is what I'm talking about. >Also IST has always been a traditionally gay board, fuck off back from whence you came newfag
It never was, the whole no homo jokes and so on were just that, jokes.
You fucking gays and trannies coming here thinking you are in good company because of the years of people making fun or people like you is just another warning for people to not pretend to be retarded.
I'v been since the beginning don't even try to piss in my ear and tell me it's raining.

Oh for god’s sake. Of course it wasn’t. But that doesn’t mean there’s any merit in you trying to make every thread into a discussion on whatever the most recent thing you’ve found to hate on. Obsessive fixations on one idea or person is reddit/twitter tier, just look how they’re incapable of going 2 seconds without mentioning elon musk. Basing your entire personality around the actions of another or others will always be silly, as will pretending that hating on things is cool. Go find a hobby you actually enjoy and stop focusing on the stuff that makes you mad

This is a joke thread. Nobody uses standard. It's not worth it to use standard. They can't even make bars with that diameter that are worth a crap. The standard bars will bend.
Oly lifters use the top bar though right? I’ve always been confused by this. Top is literally always referred to as an oly bar. Bumper/iron/weighed eleiko etc plates all fit the top bar don’t they? Right? What is bottom even for??? Also the moron olympic squad look pretty good, even if they have the advantage of being 5’5
>What is bottom even for???
This. Even powerlifting world records are set with the olympic bar. I don't know why anyone would willingly use the bottom bar.
Bottom is a "standard" bar. It's the size that pl8s were originally made for before oly weights were made. You can usually get them and pl8s for them cheaper. But if you don't already have pl8s or a bar, you might as well just get an oly bar and pl8s these days.

The bottom bar is for people who buy fresh meat and produce at Walmart.
Left is just a oly barbell for a variety of motions. Right is an EZbar. EZbar is designed to allow you to get a better grip for motions where you want to get more forearm involvement or for a more comfortable grip like for curls. Also, narrow grip EZbar curls are incredible for the biceps. Reverse grip EZbar curls are incredible for the forearms.
I just use whichever isn't occupied?
why did the olympic standard need to exist?
Marketing
So that countries competing in weightlifting at the olympics could all train the same and would have equal footing
Olympic can hold more weight. That's the only difference.
I can't lift the olympic bar
The bar itself is about 45 pounds, right?
Yeah, i can lift a 45 pounds kettlebell or plate but i can't lift the bar, it's weird.
A standard oly bar is 40 lbs/18.2 kg.

Are these katanas?
For some fucking reason the black bars just feel way heavier, even though they're the same weight
Thicker bars feel heavier, but thinner are more painful, simple as
It's only thicker where the weights go. The portion you hold on is about the same size in both.
Literally no one uses bottom
Ur a bottom
Prostate stimulation feels good anon don’t knock it. I pity those that have never had a prostate induced full body orgasm

So? Get your priorities straight

I do.
I'm poor.
I use standard. All the good reasons end up being simple.
>plates are cheaper
>easier math if american
>vintage stuff is cool
Besides that, go oly.
Ivanko makes a 1000lb rated bar.
This is a joke thread. Nobody uses standard. It's not worth it to use standard. They can't even make bars with that diameter that are worth a crap. The standard bars will bend.
And all good plates are made for olympic.
I use standard cuz oly bar is too long for my lik home gym
All Olympic lifters I've seen are really unimpressive looking
I mean it's fine and all it's very functional but they're all dweebs or fat
Are you American?
Oly lifters use the top bar though right? I’ve always been confused by this. Top is literally always referred to as an oly bar. Bumper/iron/weighed eleiko etc plates all fit the top bar don’t they?

Hold up. You're telling me Olympic lifters AREN'T bodybuilders?!?
Who would have thought.
Nobody needs an olympic bar unless you're past the natty limit.
Left is just a oly barbell for a variety of motions. Right is an EZbar. EZbar is designed to allow you to get a better grip for motions where you want to get more forearm involvement or for a more comfortable grip like for curls. Also, narrow grip EZbar curls are incredible for the biceps. Reverse grip EZbar curls are incredible for the forearms.
Ah yes, barbell versus katana
Top bar is for tryhards who will most likely stop using their gym pass or let their gear pickup dust
Bottom bar is for someone who is serious about their health and musculature
How many people have actually seen a standard bar? Boomers don't count.
