Do they count the bar in comps???? What does it weigh 40lb's????
Dose any 1 count the bar when they are working out at the gym???

[Unholy]

[bluedevil]

I thought i was lifting 270 on my DL and squat when i am really lifting 315?????? That's awsome:clap: :clap: :clap:

[RedSpikeyThing]

The bar has mass, so count it.

[Detard]

good work man!

[waynedang]

unless you use a counter balanced smith machine!

[bluedevil]

The only time i have used a smith machine is when i didn't have a spotter on my max lifts, only a few times. But for the rest of the time its all raw. i really feel better now because before when some1 would ask me my max BP i would say 170. But now I can proudly say 205.:zipit:

I was just wondering, what was your logic for not counting the bar as weight?

Be even more proud. 170 + 45 = 215!

[jamrock]

Be even more proud. 170 + 45 = 215!

Heh.. Maybe he shouldn't be so proud?

Heh... Did you think the bar was weightless?

[BigRic]

Actually I bought the new weightless bar from olympic, works well.

[bluedevil]
