Which way do you put the plates on?

B is the superior way. therefore the lip of the plate faces outwards and allows you to pinch and slide plates on easily with one hand

A reverses this and requires two hands to easily slide. INFERIOR

C. First plate facing in, the rest out.

Same

platelets, when will they learn?

By the size of the plate?

my gym has symmetrical plates
I win

A is the actual correct way. Strong people will judge you if you do B style.

A is the way, so you can grip the plate easier taking it off.
If the plates are new and have holes, it doesn't matter

The only right answer.

Would lifting this be the same as lifting two pl8s?

I'll fuck you up if I catch you lifting that at my gym

As someone with real autism and ocd this picture hurts me, trigger warning next time faggot

if i'm spotting you i'm just gonna let you die

I think I just found out how I'm going to end my free gym access at school before I graduate

A so I can grip the lip with my fingers

Wouldn't one side produce more torque than the other?

Flat sides in, so basically A. Anything else makes me REEEEEEE pretty hard

the weights don't produce the torque your arms do you stupid fuck why are you on this board if you don't lift

Fuck I meant B, goddammit, I wasn't looking at the chart when I posted REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>A self-REEEE, that is a rare

wtf how has no one said that everyone knows what the weight is regardless of the # on it they all look different. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

Is this a Tesla coil?

...

>he doesn't rotate the bar as he lifts

B is the only correct answer, because the other way means you'd have to flip them over, which people don't do, which leads to them racking the pl8s on the flat side, which IS FUCKING BULLSHIT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHICH PLATE IS WHICH AND I HAVE TO UNRACK THEM ALL AND REEEEEEEEE

...

Whichever way I had it on my hands brah

If you can't recognize a pl8 by the size, then you've got some fucking lifting to do, faggot

didn't you ever learn to match shapes in kindergarten?

>weights producing torque
holy fuck you can't be this stupid

Center of mass would be all sorts of fucked up

My gym has a mix of plates in both KG and LB that are the same size but vary by a couple of pounds

Like the 15kg plates are 33 lbs and are the same size as the 35lb plates

But that's wrong.

>comparing 35s to a pl8

M8 you've got autism real bad.

if you calculate torque, you'd probably be putting more strain on whatever hand (or shoulder/trap for squats) is supporting the side on the left

THE PLATES DONT PRODUCE TORQUE

I saw a dude today decline benching with plates on the bar 25-45-25. Was he memeing or is there a point to this or does it not matter at all what order you put the plates on the bar.

Probably drop sets.

How so? Did you do the math?

Because there's no reason for it to vary considering it's the same weight on the same fulcrum. Any difference in CoM would be negligible

I think you mean the moment of inertia would be different

Surely there aren't this many people baiting. Right?

>JUST
>PRETENDING

What if I put all the plates on one side and then set the bench at an angle so the weight would be in the middle

If the plates (not including bar) weigh 180 and assuming the lifter has a positive equilibrium on his center of gravity, what is θ?

what is a positive equilibrium? should i add more plates? is that what that means?

huh

im trying to think of reasons that this won't work but i can't

Platelets clotting up the works

depends on the dimensions of the rack my man

Idk I lift at home and my 45s are the same on both sides

For scale's sake let's stay true to his picture and say the bench is 8 inches up the ramp and the lifter lies 12 inches high. Just in case the bench's width comes into play, let's say it's 20 inches wide.

...

DELET THIS

This thread reminded me of a chat I had with a mathematician I lifted with last year when I was in grad school. We were talking about how we as 3D beings use genus 1 objects to lift and train and if higher dimensional beings use other sort of objects with genera different from 1 to lift.

A because all the youtube celerys do it

Jesus Christ STFU pls

really ionizes my water

This is wrong. Don't post again

B is right, A is wrong.

this really consolidates my cashews

I wish i was like you.

For me its B.

Neither a nor b have the plates facing the same way.

This really dimesionalizes my genii.

...

My gyms plates has them printed on both sides

I think only dyels give this thing a thought.

Facing in, always

...

MOM!!!

Not using IWF colored plates to lift
>never gonna make it

>no squat plug
Dissapointed

I used to do B, until I saw everybody else doing A
ever since I explicitly started training for powerlifting, I started "kilo" loading where I'll have all the plates facing inward save for the outermost 45 if I'm pulling more than one plate, and all sub-45-lbs-plates, and microplates

Why the fuck does it matter?????

Anyone who has been to a gym for more than a fucking week knows exactly how much you're lifting whether they're looking at the back or front of a pl8

>not having rubber plated with no side differences

plebs

...

>all these brainlets
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(physics)

please take an elementary physics course before posting ever again. thanks

Why do your safeties need pussy pads?

theoretically it could work, but it would be very hard to match up. could be impossible depending on the weights/ lengths of the bar/rack because the sum of moments would have to equal zero.

i put them on the same way i picked them up, you fucking spergs

FUCK YOU

If bars had no bend or whip then it wouldn't matter where you put the weights, but if you are lifting REAL weight, i.e. 5 plate deathlifts then the weights are going to be bouncing at different leverage points when the bar flexes I.E. stfu dyel

>he wants the nearby neighbour patrolling your home for NAP violations to hear a noise which produces more decibels then the mandatory silent halogen front porch lights

Here's you're (You)

now stop baiting

NOW this is raw lifting

The worst thing about this is the colours of the plates.
