Reply With QuoteYes, Olympic bar is 45 pounds - to discount 45 pounds would be pretty nuts

stupid question
Do you count the weight of the bar when counting how much weight one can bench press? Or do you just count the weight that you put on? I know it is dumb, but I dont know.

I count the bar it seems reasonable. And some Bars can weigh over 60lbs (specailly made bars) friend uses a 60lb bar because he can squat over a 1000lbs on good days. (no shit people I seen him do it, its freaky scary to watch.)

He can SQUAT over a 1,000lbs? If that is true, I don't see much difference between a 60lb bar or a 45lb bar.Originally posted by iron jock

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
