This is a barbell at the gym I'm at. Its filthy as fuck and what's weird is, I took the weights off of one side and the barbell flipped over and cracked a mirror on the wall. Every gym I've ever been at doesn't have weights fall off when you take one side off. Wtf is this shit?

its called an unbalanced bar, when you take weights off one side and not the other, the other becomes heavy causing it to be pulled down by gravity, this causes it to flip and crack the mirror. its probably never happened to you before because you have been moving baby weight that doesn’t have enough mass to be dragged down.

Stop breaking equipment and learn basic 3rd grade science.

That's because you didn't have enough weight on the bar before.

The counter weight balances about 100 pounds max.. If you have more than two plates and take one side completely... off its going to flip.
