Just on everyones lifts

[Mickdog]

Do you all just put how much weight s on the plates in your 1RM lifts or do you include the weight of the bar as well?

 

[Azz]

The bar is included.

 

[Aaron]

You can leave the bar out of the equation if you're lifting just the weights with no bar.

Hooray for the 'do you count the bar' discussion

 

[Goosey]

Do you include your own weight?!

I know it must seem like this. The only reason I ask though is because my bench press station has a bar that isn't olympic size. The Olympic bar is only to be kept in the squat rack.

So should I include the weight of the bar as i'm about to post my not so great beginner lifts.

Sorry about the question just wanted to make sure i'm not cheating myself

This is the best reason for counting the bar.

Do you lift the bar? Then include it.

Yes, you really should count it.
However, many bodybuilders are not always concerned with the weight they lift, more the feel of resistance, so it doesn't always matter to bodybuilders.

Would expect powerlifters and strength trainers to be highly concerned with recording accurate weights lifted.

Thanks so much mate. I like the straight forward answers.

Already found out that the Bench BB is 10kg's and the Olympic is 20kg's.

Normally they're 10-15
7.5 would break the second you touched it lol

 

[Gauche]

Those skinny ones just not feel 10... Maybe... Maybe I'm just too strong!

Yes. End Discusson.

15kg, wow never heard of one that heavy. Dans has 3 standards bars, 7.5kg/8kg/10kg the 10kg one is massive, a 15kg standard must be fucking huge!! Also to note the 8kg one could lift a truck, so don't be decieved thinking its light so it must be weak.

I kinda thought he meant it was a smaller bar with Olympic collars, not just a standard bar
My bad I guess lol
