There is no apostrophe necessary in "degrees".

Y board has standards of excellence.

You got those epic old school collars that are like 5lbs each.

I remember them well.

5.5 lbs each.

The bar weighs 39 lbs.

39 + 11 is an even 50.

I had a bar like that once.

Couldn't figure out why my bench in the gym was always a rep or so weaker than at home.

Found out it was the bar not being 45lbs.

I was wondering why 405 on the SSB bar felt heavier than on Power-Bar. When I weighed it, it then made sense, 55 lb. bar...

LOL.

I have a hex bar that I purchased from a guy who told me it was 57lbs.

Always wanted to do a 400lb pull years ago, then one day I just did it and did a 403 triple.

A half year later, I was moving the bar and said "man I am week, this just feels heavy".  Weighed it - it was 75lbs.

So all the weights I thought I was training were actually 18lbs more.  So my 403 retro'd to 421.

Switched to straight bar after and have not returned to the hex.

Hex bar always felt weird to me. Like an awkward farmers walk.

I like it.

Now I don't.

Felt more like a squat/leg exercise instead of a hip hinge when I tried it last time.

These feud between you guys needs to stop before it gets out of hand.

You should unite over both of your excessive use of the apostrophe.
