    Just a couple of things. The most annoying one was I forgot my keyfob so I knocked on this window and a girl let me in. Then 30min in she comes up to me and asks for my full name to write it down incase she needs to report me, or explain to the gym staff why she let me in. (You're not supposed to let people in and there's a 250 dollar fine if you get caught, also pathetic) I'd been a regular for a year at that point and had seen her multiple times before

        Deload a plate on each side before moving to the next plate. Don't deload all plates from one side at once.

        Anonymous

        Don't deload it from one side all at once. The closer to the center the supports are, the more careful you have to be because the weight imbalance needs to be smaller.
        Using the dimensions of the olympic bar, it's mass center should be at 65,5 cm from the pinning position. This means that, at 20 Kg, the momentum of the bar is 128,5 N.m. If all the weight was concentrated at 1/4 of the maximum distance of the side loads, you'd need 126 Kg of difference between the sides in order to start rotating. However, that's like, 6+ 20 Kg plates, which wouldn't occupy just 1/4 of the bar.
        Assuming then a dimensions of 7,2 cm (one I got from the internet), that would mean that 4 plates have their CG at 14,4 Cm, which leads to roughly 91 Kg needed on one side in order to tip the bar. Since 4 plates are ~80 Kg it's close to tipping, and any additional weight would contribute more to the momentum, we can add the momentum of a 5 Kg plate to see if it tips. Assuming it's a concentrated load at the tip of the 4 plates, this results in only 81 Kg needed to tip the bar - so we know that 4 normal plates + 1 5 Kg plate is the limit.
        As such, you basically shouldn't load more than 4,25 net plates on one side of the bar.
        Or just leave one plate hanging at the edge of the bar, since that makes it momentum very big.

          Disclaimer: It's 5 AM where I live and I feel like I might have made a mistake, possibly when I assumed the bar's momentum could be taken as the momentum of the concentrated mass at the center. However, I'm way too sleepy to double check, sorry. Just don't go beyond 4,25 Plates to be safe, but the real value should be slightly higher because of the mass of the bar that's in the part that holds the plates.

            Anonymous

            Ok I'm too autistic to let go, the net momentum I obtained was 134,4 N.m instead of 128,5, which leads to 85 Kg instead of 81 Kg at the end. So almost the same thing, since you still won't get away with a 10 Kg plate instead of 5.

              Weird. The math says it shouldn't, but if you truly tested it and are sure the bar had Olympic dimensions I probably just fricked up somewhere.

                I probably messed up something then, since the condition you mentioned seems to be the same I assumed. The other option is that you guys have extra thick plates, but I doubt that.
                Actually, does it tip after you've inserted the plate or does it start to tip during it? Because now that I think about it, if you're inserting the plate but not supporting it the momentum would be much greater in the instant the plate makes contact with the tip of the bar.

                Depends on the thickness of the plates
                If you're using steel plates it's going to take more to tip it than if you're using fatter olympic plates

          Ok, I figured out all the places I messed up
          First, the bar weight isn't perfectly distributed along it's length. The edges are obviously heavier, and that affects the final result.
          Second, I thought the distance to the supports was 41,5 cm, but in the image there is an additional 3 cm that makes a huge difference because the rotation arm is around 7-14 cm.
          Third, when removing the plate, it will be supported by the edge of the bar, so unless the plate is held up it will make the bar tip much sooner.
          My math is fine, my model is shit, use the empirical 2 plates instead as the Max

        literally how? I've been drinking heavily and taking codeine everyday for a decade with no health issues yet at 35 y.o., while you piss yourself at only 22? what the frick did you take, so I know to avoid it?

          Adderall and a lot of liquor, like 4 day benders with no liquids that didnt contain alcohol. Disclaimer, it quit after i quit using. No more leaks.
          I came to this board the first time i got sober 3 years ago, and my life started to change for the better. Unfortunatley my mind was weak, and i gave up after the world got the better of me and i forgot that crying about your shitty life and trying to drink away the pain doesnt work. Ive fricked up bad, and I still dont really know the extent of how bad i fricked up my body, im just kind of praying that i didnt catch an std or require a new heart in the future, but I know that i cant go back. But i know this time that at least i wont make the same mistakes again, so hopefully i didnt do anything permanent, but also if i did, I really only have myself to blame.

      Yep, my problem is from the pile of surgeries I had as a kid. Saw a specialist that said they could cauterize my penis and figure I'd rather just piss on my pants 1 out of every 12 times. You anons are welcome to stick your penis on a red hot frying pan if it makes you feel better about yourself. I'll keep the piss. Thank you.

          Yep, given enough time you'll feel the same way about that 60kg.

          For me it's usually squats that takes the longest to get back to. It's strange. But it may be because I'm quite a dyel. The max bench I have ever done is like 5x5 65kg, where's squats is 2pl8 (I know it's also dyel numbers, but normies, even those who lift have been impressed).

          What class is mediocre at pressing, god awful at squatting, but fricking great at deadlifting and any pulling movement in general?
          I can do Romanian deadlifts for sets of 6-8 with more weight than I can 1RM squat.
          I think I pulled 4 plates for reps with conventional DL before I ever benched 4 plates.
          I can do weighted pullups with more weight for more reps than I can bench.

        maybe technique or something. dont let triceps/shoulders take over
        something like pause benches/half-rep benches (pecs are more active at bottom of movement, more tris near top) and decline benches (less shoulders)
        assume i dont have to say this but make sure pecs have sufficient volume and fatigue isnt overshadowing their exercises

      Did you start lifting pre-puberty?
      I think I could do 40kg for a few reps at 16 as an average built teenager. Friends of similar stature could do about the same. The bigger guys could rep out at 50-60kg the first time in the gym. It's incomprehensible to me that a male that has gone through puberty cannot bench a 20kg bar.

        Personally I rip off a strip long enough to wrap around my thumb. It absorbs the moisture between your fingers and thumb during hook grip and also keeps this wet patches of skin from coming into contact and slipping on each other.

          They blame me because I was the closest one to him. They didn't even notice he was missing or the other times he went missing.

          I blame myself only because I was worried I couldn't afford to take care of him by myself. My landlord passed away at the start of COVID, so we had to find a new place to live. Everyone else wanted to move into their own places. I think he didn't want to be a burden on me.

      This guy does that

      >chubby dyel manlet no taller than 5’3” with receding hairline and long hair with posse of guys much younger than him and his obese girlfriend
      >keeps shooting anyone who looks in the heffers direction a dirty look and puffing his chest out
      >I constantly see her checking out actually in shape and taller guys
      >all he ever does is bench and curls and occasionally some back
      >dudes easily around 30 and always has 2-3 guys around 20 with him, one of the actually lifts
      >whenever manlet benches it’s always half reps, does this whole hype up routine like he’s in an elite powerlifting gym
      >UP! UP! YES!
      >the one guy who actually lifts always spots him, let’s manlet think he’s hitting lifts while he pulls the bar up and does half the work
      >manlet hits 225 for half rep while spotter rows the bar for him
      >YES! *does a little celebration dance*
      >screams yes for whole gym to hear and jumps up and down
      >overhear him talking to the kid in his group who actually lifts about how since he’s short he has to work much harder to get strong and gain muscle and basically heavily imply he’s out working everyone around him because taller people are naturally stronger easier
      >dude constantly just dicks around with bench and says stupid shit like “the protein in fish is superior to the protein in chicken!” “Red meat causes heart issues!” “I bet you wish you had a sexy woman to work out with like I do. It makes you stronger!”
      >catch him flexing in locker room
      >5’3” 150lbs and 18% bf

    I wasn’t there for this but I came in later in the day and the coach told me the story

    >CrossFit
    >landwhale doing box jumps. (Step-ups)
    >loses her balance at the top
    >steps off at odd angle
    >snaps ankle
    >this causes her inertia to continue her fall
    >lands on arm
    >breaks wrist
    >paramedics have to come take her to the hospital

    This was one I saw in person

    >join predominantly black gym on bad side of town because cheap
    >5-8 of the same people in the weight room each night
    >thugs hang out on the basketball court so weighroom is safe
    >become a regular so all the lifters and I greet each other when one of us arrives
    >one really nice black guy there every night
    >takes 20 minute breaks between sets
    >super nice and always greets me in a friendly manner
    >over time realize he’s slightly mentally handicapped
    >see him one night working the punching bag
    >spends 30 minutes punching it
    >finally look over and watch what he’s doing
    >he’s hitting it with zero force
    >literally a grandmother punched it with more force

    It was really fricking awkward. That may have been the point I realized he was mentally challenged. It took everything I had not to burst out laughing.

          Shitting before working out isnt great for you, either. It shakes your intestines up and food starts to move much more quickly. Your heart needs to work much harder during this period. Its probably better to sit down and rest for 20 or 30 minutes after a bowel movement to avoid damaging your heart, if your boss will let you lol.

    Bottle of CVS-tier body wash "generously" left in the ladies' locker room for showering.
    Herbal Essences used to smell pretty good in the 90's & early 2000's, but now that shit has the most overpowering dollar-store-detergent scent: "saccharine sweet, hyper chemical fruit smell for poor people".

    I had to re-shower once I got home with a properly-perfumed gel to get that disgusting odor off.

      Why on earth would you use any product left in the gym? What the frick is wrong with you using a communal body wash? Idgaf if it’s in the womens area that’s nasty. On my last vacation I brought my own stuff and came inside the shampoo and body wash that was provided at the air bnb. I came it in 3x a day for a week and shook it up a bunch before leaving.

        Well that would probably unironically smell far better than any globohomosexual bodywash and actually be better for my fricking skin.

    a guy with muscular dystrophy working out

    now I know that sounds bad, and at first glance I thought he was pretty cool for going to the gym even though he was in a wheelchair.
    Then he would roll up to me in the middle of a set or during cardio on the rowing machine to tell me to change the weights of machines for him.
    No please or thank you either, turns out he was kind of an butthole

      Ngl seems kind of based. Imagine being able to get away with being some what of an butthole everyday.

        Seriously why help someone like this? If you say no you’re the butthole even if he was rude and entitled. The only morally correct option is to just realize he’s a literal cripple doomed at birth and just lend a hand. But then that’s playing his game. Whether he’s doing it intentionally or not. And the only way to win others games are to not play. I think the correct response is out on a moron voice and
        >IM A BIG STRONG BOY GOTTA GO FAST SONIC CHAIR MAN VRRRMMM
        Or simply ignore him until you hear please because there’s no reason not to treat him like every other human.

      morons monopolizing a bench/rack for a lift that doesn't require them are the worst.

        There's this kid at my gym that sits on the lat pulldown machine without even thinking about using it just to chat to his friends while they use the other machines. One time he got up and when some woman went to go and use it he literally ran back to sit on it before she could.
