When you cont weight do you count it on both ends of barbell??
Bcs last time i said i can barely ohp 15kg anons were laughting at me i know its not impressive but when they said their gf whos never been to the gym can lift that i found that weird

If you were to place the entire barbell, including the weights you’ve loaded onto each side of the barbell, onto a scale what number would then appear on the scale?
Idk because one half would hang off the side
LMFAO
i have a friend who is moronic and like this
I count it on one side only because I use microplates and I have a microbrain so I get confused easily
It depends. Do you lift the entire barbell or just one side?
Just add up all the plates, not the bar.
The laws of physics say every force has an equal and opposing force so the weight pushing down at the ends of the barbell is technically pushing the middle of the barbell up in the air, therefore canceling the bar weight
A lot of guys on here add the bar weight which makes their lifts sound impressive but the truth is that it cancels out because of forces
Based newton
moron
The opposite force is you keeping the bar from falling down to the floor
moron, so what about when you are not touching the bar?
10kg on each side of the bar counteracts a 20kg bar with upwards force at the center of the bar, exactly where you hold it
If you are not touching the bar then it is the rack or the floor keeping the bar still against the forces of gravity
This does not change the upthrust at the center of the bar,
The laws of gravity don’t cease to exist because you put the barbell down
Not sure if bait or just moronic tbh
What the frick is upthrust and why does it cancel the weight of the bar? Is the weight of the bar still cancelled if there is no weight? What about if there’s only a tiny plate on each side? What if the bar is not a standard Olympic bar? Is pressing the bar equally as easy as just raising your hands in the air? What the frick are you talking about
What happens when you use the weights with the holes in them? Do you have to factor out the reduced mass from where the holes sit below the bar?
That is so fricking stupid
You are all moronic, in reality the opposing forces of weights on both ends cancel each other out
If someone says they lift 2 plates, it means that on both sides of the barbell there are 2 plates
op didnt read any of that but if you dont reply your mother will die in her sleep tonight
>loading both sides of bar
Ngmi
so you only just now realised you might have been counting it wrong? lol
Right or wrong is subjective its inconvenience only when you want to pass that information on and other have reached different consensus about how to count it than you
The only real way to count is the total weight minus the bar, divided by two.
So 205lbs
Minus 45 = 160lbs
Divide by two = 80lbs actually being lifted per arm
fash posters get the rope
As a child, I used to lift at a gym that didn't get much traffic so there was nobody to tell me things. Since I didn't know how much the bar weighs, I recorded lifts by how much I put on each side. I assumed everyone else did the same thing and was confused when girls said they could bench press 90 lbs. I found out my error in my last year of high school.
