Ive noticed in some of Jay Cutler's videos when he does hack squats, he arranges the plates on the bar with spaces in between each one...why does he do this? I've noticed other bodybuilders doing this too.

Enables him to hit the deep fibers better.

faster dropsets?

Jay looks great with a beard

Easier to take the plates on and off with spaces for the fingers already there.

Edit: Drop sets like BPJ said-

Lol, it's for the clanking of the weights guys he doesn't always do drop sets but he usually does space the plates. Don't we all have our quirks in the gym, for instance sometimes I lift at "the rush" and they have plates with different colored coating on them. Sometimes plates of the same weight have different colored coating and I just can't bring myself to have a red 45 on one side with a green 45 on the other. As a matter of fact that should be a thread.

He's schizo. Seriously. He showers 10 x a day.

The wording on the plates have to be facing "in" on the bar

Wouldn't that make him "OCD" instead?

Is it really true he showers 10 times a day? Where/when did he say this?

I cant imagine when you shower (if), every 3 days? Or when finally someone says you stink?

Maybe Jay wants to hear them jingle.

No, but i think he showers about 3 times, and brushes his teeth like 6 times a day or something he said...
