No because most (if not all) olympic barbells are made of a special weightless metal (its like .00024 kg so not even worh counting)
>>
Kek. Course not. It's not like your lifting it or anything
>>
>>36512970

Keep this in mind, most of /fit/ uses these rules when they post their lifts, it's standard in /plg/ and /owg/ and you should do it when you post yours
>>
>>36512970

Let me ask one simple question

Do you have to lift the bar?
>>
>>36513216
i have a 15 pound bar with 50 pound plates. When I bench with a 50 pound plate on each side, should I say I'm benching 100 pounds even though I'm pushing 115?

i'm benching 20 pounds less than a guy using standard equipment, but i should say i'm benching 100 pounds to his 90? do you even think these things through?
>>
>>36513030

Standard bars weigh 20kg lad how the fuck do yours weigh 15?
>>
>>36513003
Kek

thanks for reminding me why no one likes those guys.
>>
>>36513216
If someone asked you to pick up a piece of furniture that weighed 145lbs, would you tell them "sorry, I can only lift 100lbs"?
>>
>>36512970
You only count one side of the weights on the barbell. Not the barbell, not both sides of the bar. If you do then subtract 45 lbs and divide by 2, this is what you really lift.
>>
>>36513333
Checked

>>36513309
That's what the gym owner told me when I asked him. Maybe because it's made with cheapear material

u wot m8

>>36512970
Only if the barbell has center knurling.
>>
>>36513241
> photons have weight

that should be rephrased. photons don't have mass.

E^2= m^2*c^4+p^2*c*4

while they don't have mass, they do have momentum, which is why they still have energy.
>>
Brb checking the air pressure in the gym so i know how much air I'm lifting on top of the weight.
How the fuck are you going to weigh the bar? Just count the plates or you sound weak including it.
>>
>>36513003
my gym uses a mix of helium and hydrogen gas super compressed inside of it so the bar is actually -45lbs, like benching a skinny zepplin
>>
>>36513236
then its probably not a bar

>>

>>
>>36513003

This, my bar is made of self replicating nanomachines so I don't count the weight
