Do I count the bar weight or nah?

If you can easily twirl it around like a wuxia warrior then no

>>76277196 (OP)
do I count the weight of my past sins?

>>76277196 (OP)
The 20 kg do not magically disappear when you add weights

>>76277196 (OP)
Yes, and your arm and torso weight.

>>76277196 (OP)
You also count your bodyweight
Yes /fit/ is full of indians who count their 150lbs body weight with the self-proclaimed 220lbs benching

>>76277196 (OP)
no if lifting 10 olympic bars is the same for you as lifting 1

>>76277196 (OP)
Why you care, youll be gone after summer anyways

>>76277196 (OP)
Remember to subtract the weight of the handle on dumbbells. The industry are lying to you! It says 20lbs but thats including the handle! They are literally stealing your gains!

why would you count the bar?
do you count your clothes too?? weakling cope

>>76277776
Do you weigh yourself naked or with your clothes on? Do you count your piss as well? Might as well weigh yourself right after dinner since food, water and clothes dont weigh anything

>>76277795
Do you weigh yourself with hair? You'd be surprised at how much weight it adds.

>>76277798
I dont plan on cutting it off so yes. Its considered part of my body.

>>76277280
What about weighted push up or pull up? I think it's reasonable

>>76277196 (OP)
For practical reasons, no.
>yeah brah, just reached LMAO2PL8
For self annotations and progress analysis, yes.
>...hence yesterday I used the EZ-bar that is 11Kg, plus two 5Kg plates and 1 2,5Kg, next Tuesday it will be....

>do i count the bar weight?
>no
>but it weighs 45lbs and contributes to the total amount of weight pushed
>yeah but you're just lifting 90lbs
>that would imply that the bar weighs 0lbs
>no it doesnt
>so i do count the bar weight
>no because the bad is just 45lbs
>if the bar has weight you count it because it adds to the total mass
>no it doesnt
>but you just said it weighs 45lbs
>ok and?

>>76277833
>i can pull up 45lbs
>so you weigh 45lbs?
>no

If you want to be accurate you must count the bar and also factor in friction due to air resistance, which depends on atmospheric pressure and humidity. You can use Mentzer's formula

>>76277196 (OP)
Do you count the weight of your shirt and arms? Calculate height above sea level and atmospheric pressure?

>>76277196 (OP)
No, it weighs nothing

>>76278048
so it weighs 0lbs?

>>76277196 (OP)
where can I adopt slav kitty?

>>76277196 (OP)
If the bar doesn't count then why does it have mass?

>>76278060
Yeah, even a baby can lift it

>>76277996
it's not complicated.
>how much do you lift
>I life 2pl8's. and the bar!

>>76277196 (OP)
Are you lifting the bar or nah?

>counting the bar

>the summerfags answering seriously
one of our worst years ever

>>76277266
It's assumed to be added because no adult man lifts less than 60kg so we define that as the zero point. Weight on the bar is just a relative quantity. Someone says I bench 100kg or 2pl8 that means 100kg on top of the bar and 1 plate on each side,so in kids or female weights it would be 160kg.

>>76278765
>not counting the collars

Regular bar? Yes. Smith machine bar? No. I have a friend who counts it and he's a fucking retard.

>>76277196 (OP)
Here's one: do you count your own bodyweight in your squat? If I'm 335lbs and squatting 405lbs, it's surely more impressive/more weight really than when some 170lbs victim weight twink squats the same? 405 + 170 = 575, while 405 + 335 = 740 so I'm lifting more weight really right? Anyone who's done bodyweight exercises above 250lbs can tell you how much harder they are with extra mass, so surely this adds on to your squat number?

>>76277196 (OP)
what the fuck does the curl bar weigh, its gotta be like 30.

>>76277196 (OP)
no

>>76277776
Anon please tell me you didn‘t fall for the lifting with clothes on meme

>>76279904
I always said the smith machine took about 25 pounds off. I don’t use it for anything anymore really though

>>76280001
No, retard.
