how is it fine?  Leaving a plate means you didnt put the weight away.  No hate, but if people are too lazy to take weights off then I think they're too lazy to even work out hard.  yes?  no?  maybe?

If it was acceptable then the bar would weigh 135.  I'm a trainer and most of my clients can't do 135.  It is annoying for me to spend extra time asking the lazy guy that left his weight on to leave the area as he found it.
Come get me.

I do it on the leg press at my gym since it's pathetically easy and I've never seen even the weakest of twinks doing less than that.  Otherwise I unload the whole thing always.

Leaving one plate (45 lb) is fine on the bench, squat rack, leg press, seated calf. For the Smith, free barbell (we have some that sit of a rack with an elevated platform that I use for stiff leg deads), hacks it should be stripped. The worse offenders by far are those who load the leg press for their 1/8 ROM reps and just leave it for someone else to strip.

Take it off, always. Leaving it is a asshole move. Why load the the leg press with 45's, you Americans can't affort 100's/50 kg plates?  ::) :D

All plates should be unloaded upon completion with the apparatus, PERIOD. No excuses. Folks who fail to do so are fuckasses who don't give two shits about those who will come after.

The strongest and most accomplished of lifters usually unload all their plates. It's an unwritten gym etiquette deal.

No one wants to begin his session having to unload some other lazy fuck's weights.

Always always always take everything off!!!! That is just good gym etiquette, as a gym manager my biggest pet peeves are dumbasses who leave plates loaded on the bar. I hate this shit I'm not there to clean up after your lazy asses I'm there to run the damn place. Yep you hit a nerve with that one on me :)
