Help Veeky Forums I may be retarded.
So I had a friend laugh at me in the gym after I said I could only deadlift 135 for two reps. He the proceeded to put a 45 on either side and deadlift it, when I complained he was only doing 90lbs and at most 110lbs with the bar included he just laughed harder. Am I retarded and could someone explain this to me.
He's shitting on you for having less reps and basically cheating? No idea what's the proper amount of sets and reps, also depends how far you are into weight lifting.
Stale bait but it will attract you're (yous)
I've seen this bait so many times now lmao.
LOL
I just spit out my sips from laughing at this
I understand how this must look, but I've not been lifting for very long and until a week ago have never lifted with anyone else, is there something obvious which I'm missing?
The bar weighs 45lbs, so with a 45lb plate on each side, the totoal weight being lifted is 135lbs. (45 x 2 + 45 = 135)
AAAAnd now I'm going to go hang myself. Thanks for explaining this though, I thought it was at most 20lbs.
I think it may vary a little, but most are likely 45lbs, at least in a gym
user.....
how the fuck do you put 3 plates on a barbell?
wouldn't that put you off balance?
it's 3 on each side dummy
Obviously you put more weight on your stronger side....
That's what the chalk and chains are for you fucking idiot. Why else would there be chalk of all things in a gym?
figured it out
kek

The bar weighs 45lbs and you count it.
