I snapped this from one of his videos and was wondering if anyone knows why he separates the plates?

tbombz · « **Reply #1 on:** September 04, 2011, 05:08:41 PM »

he doesnt always do that that was probably just by accident or it happened during one of his sets and he just didnt fix it.

Wiggs in the background, representing Team Kai, inclining big weights to psyche Jay out.

It's so there easier to remove. I do this as well on any angled weight horn, put a 5lb weight between the 45's that way you dont have to pinch your fingers between them to pull them off.

probably a drop set, easy to take the plats off

He once said that he spreads the weights to help balance out the load. But that doesnt make much sense to me.

No. In the video he's purposely separating them each set for a reason and I'm wondering why.

No. In the video he's not doing drop sets.

If anyone has From Jay to Z you'll know what I'm talking about. It's on the second disk.

Hmmmm...if that's the case it doesn't seem to make much sense to me either. But whatever works for him.

Bodybuilders usually don't make a lot of sense. You could load all of the plates on one side and it will still give the same workout if they were on both. It's not an iso-lateral machine so plate load is irrelevent.

then probably some alien technique that jay learned from aliens, you know, area 51 is located in Nevada where jay's house is not so far from, I guess the certain distance of the separates between plates can boost growth hormone and insulin to help jay lift more

For better aerodynamics.

Space between plates + MuscleTech Product = Massive Growth!

What? C'mon tbombs, I would expect an answere like this from a beginner at the gym, but from you, lmao...the weight can't go like that by acciden, not in a thousand sets

He's OCD isn't he? Might be as simple an explanation as that.

YoungBlood · « **Reply #16 on:** September 04, 2011, 08:02:16 PM »

A couple reasons guys do this, for different reasons at different times. One, is drop sets and it's easier to take them off, but you said he wasn't doing drop sets.
Another is it's easier to take them off if the bar is on an angle.
If those two don't apply, it could be because he likes to hear the jingle jangle of the weight plates. I do this on a squat bar but it doesn't make much sense on a Hack Squat.
Or it could simply because the photographer asked for that as a variation of a picture.

id think it more probable than someone arranging them in that fashion cuz they have difficlty unloading plates when they are close together

Not when the bar is on a slight slant upwards

He doesnt want to catch the gay

dyslexic · « **Reply #22 on:** September 04, 2011, 10:46:20 PM »

Maybe it was almost Christmas and he wanted to hear "jingle bells" with the plates....

Nails · « **Reply #23 on:** September 04, 2011, 10:52:57 PM »

He does it to give the illusion from different angles that he is doing ronnie colman type light weight baby

Meso_z · « **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2011, 11:12:22 PM »

Maybe he just wants to make us wonder why he does this?
