for the bench?
I'm not exactly sure how long it is.. I think it's 2m long.
I was just wondering because I don't know how much it is, and it's annoying when I don't know how much I'm lifting, as I try to compare it to what I lift at school... And with howmuch you guys lift

There all mosty 45. Even six to a seven have both been 45. But one thing thats the most noticable about them is that you can lift more on a 6 ft than a seven just because the weight is closer to you.

xpendable: wrong
"its harder with a 7 foot than a 6 foot cause its further"
WRONG
the sum of the torques from weights will be zero no matter how far they are, if the'yre the same distance from the center, and the same weight. The only forces acting on the bar are you pushing up and the weight pulling down. the distance doesn't matter.
(ie if you have a seesaw, the length doesnt matter, it will always balance with two kids of same weight)

I mean if I'm going for my 1 rep max, as long as it's still the same difficulty level kinda thingy as it's supposed to be... is that really a bad thing? Basically just pushing as much weight as possible..

I've seen weight plates that are in kg so have a decimal value on lbs
I imagine some bars are the same
but the standard o bar is 45 lbs to the best of my knowlege

Re: xpendable: wrong
This post is STUPID. Some nerd who apparently doesn't lift big weight to know the differance. If the bar was completely rigid then this would be the case, but it's all about the bend in the bar. You'd know if you felt it.Originally posted by llama1917

It doesn't mention the bar weight anywhere.. that's just why I was curious..
It's funny how this thread only really needed 1 reply, but has 11...
