Half the posters on Veeky Forums say that you shouldn't count the bar when you're reporting how much you lift, but everyone almost always has lift numbers that end in 5. If you weren't counting the bar, wouldn't they almost always be multiples of 10? Or are you really using a pair of the tiny 2.5lb plates to get to that number ending in 5?

No they don't.

Of course you count the bar. Someone trolled you mate.

Not all bars weight 20kg. You are being bamboozled and retarded m8

don't talk shit about microplates, dude

>he counts the bar

Do you also count the gravitational pull? The tide? Barometric pressure? EVERYBODY uses the bar, thus it is redundant to include it in the total weight.

It's actually become a meme to tell people not to count the bar simply because it destroys their confidence. Don't take it seriously my dude.

Not every bar weighs the same so don't count it.

Lol keep coping baby

Dude it's a fucking meme you retard. you're lifting the bar, aren't You? Exactly. It's a dumb meme like tipping the gym receptionist

This.

Bait so obvious your mom would suck it.

SURELY THAT'S THE REASON TO COUNT IT

Is the bar weightless?

its a meme you dip. you're lifting the bar aren't you

tipping the gym receptionist kek

Why are so many people so retarded?
Do you really need to compare your stats on an armenian pottery board? If you want to count the bar, do it. This might seem like a surprise, but it actually weighs sth as well. If you don't want to count it, don't. I mean it's not like if you pack your suitcase for a flight (20kg luggage limit) and the suitcase weighs 5kilos alone that you can still put 20kg in it,right?

Truly this is the bait that keeps on giving

When people say that they r joking, count the bar.

>not tipping the receptionist
After all we put her through, everyone throws in a few bucks to get her something nice every month
