242lbs deadlift.
Around 3 it starts to bend. With 200+ kg it gets pretty wobbly as you can see with oly lifters
>>36806467
depends on the bar
>>36806808
Yeah ive seen people squat 2.5pl8 and it bends a little

There is one light bar at my gym, I use it for OHP and anything more than one plate it gets a serious curve and looks like it will snap any second.
>>36806467
I don't know. I have the bar stacked 8pl8 for bench and it doesn't bend.
Possible?

If you're squatting lowbar I can't see it hitting your head. May mess up your arms a bit. Just another reason to squat lowbar.

it's the start of ohp.
There was a bar at my old gym that would bend when squatting anything higher than 2 plates. I really got used to it because I built my own home gym with a nice Ohio bar and it doesn't really bend with almost 4 plates when squatting.

You can't The Press enough to snap the bar.

it's not to be taken seriously, it's something someone made in a thread about a video of the bar breaking during a squat - and someone made that illustration when someone was talking about how much it would hurt you if it snapped while you were deadlifting, and then ohping etc.
I pointed out that the weights would fall away from you so it wouldn't hurt you, someone else was arguing it would hurt you and tried to illustrate it with that illustration among others.

what if you held on to the parts of the snapped bar for a second
I find barbells with a large amount of whip are aesthetic as fuck
Makes me feel like I'm not a dyel
>>36807656
Intuitively it seems like it wouldn't to me - maybe it's that your hands would need to be a strong fulcrum for that to work and they wouldn't if the weight was high..

Possible???

Around 180kg for stable lifts like squat or deadlift. In a clean it get's wobbly as low as 150kg since there is more impact when it lands on your shoulders.
>>36807762
maybe if we had a really heavy weight.
There isn't really one answer, technically any amount of weight will make it bend.
How much it bends depends on the bar, the weight, your grip and the movement.
>>36806467
4pl8
don't listen to these 3pl8 wannabes
>>36808581
This is the only right answer in the thread. Everybody giving a random value is fucking stupid.
