Is leaving 1 plate on each side of the bar...

[freespirit]

Looks like an average weekend for you, tito.

[Meso_z]

I dont, Im just too worried about going into a catabolc state from unloading those 2 plates.

If you can't lift a 45lbs plate off a bar that was left there because you're too lazy then you shouldn't be lifting a 45lbs olympic bar either.

Great logic there numbskull. Maybe the gear is affecting your brain.

[Rami]

women should lift weights and get stronger so they can carry home heavy grocery bags, wash, work the garden and what have you more effectively

[Agnostic007]

Unrack everything EXCEPT at the leg press machine. I've NEVER seen anyone do less than a 45 on each side. If they do, then body weight squats would be better for them...

[Devon97]

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.

THen they shouldn't be doing bench press, they should be doing push up variations.

[Option D]

good enough for re-racking your weights?

i think its ok

[Tre]

All capable of at least 1 rep with 135.

[Dr Dutch]

They look like they'll beat the holy shit out off Titso if he just even looks at them strangely..

[Neptune100]

Leaving 135 on a bench is far less of a crime than leaving it say on a military press station or incline barbell station.  I can see people taking them off there.  But 95% of people warm up with 135 so leaving it on isnt that big of a deal.  I'd rather people rack their dumbbells.  I usually always rack all my weights but when i finished with bench today I didnt.  And you know what? A teenager came over and started warming up with it.  It isn't that big of a deal and people who freak out over it need to get over it cause its not gonna stop.

There is no way 95% of your average joe's/jane's warm up with 135.

I was using the same reasoning to defend leaving a plate on as others have been using against it.  I guess it was too highbrow for you

I have, on several occasions, been asked by women to remove a 45lb plate from several pieces of equipment......the bench, squat rack, leg presses, etc.......how hard is it to take that last plate off?

Everyone talks to me, I'm a nice fucking guy.

[Largerthanlife]

I never put my weights away.

Job security for someone at the gym

x2, your paying for the shit.

[Largerthanlife]

Neither can I really,and I ask who left them on, and if they`re dumb enough to tell me,I tell `em to take`em off and rack `em.

Who am I Mr.Belvedere? 

what r u going to do if they ignore you?  Are you going to go into steroid rage and hit them and get permanently banned from the gym along with assault charge?

You'd be surprised how obedient people are when they are told to do something by a stranger.


Que all the tough guys now about how they would ignore and walk away.....

[bebop396]

I warm up with just the bar itself, so its annoying that i have to do someone elses job by unloading the last plate....

The only reason guys leave one plate on is because they think they are leaving a statement behind that the next person should be able to start off with 135, it is an ego thing...Don't be that guy, re rack all the weights...

lol

[abijahmaniaco]

Those motherbitches should be lifting weights anyway...just do strecthing in as little's clothes as possible

x2 omg i wanna rip their clothes w/ my penis

[Havenbull]

I've been in the fit biz for years now... the only time it's okay to leave a 45 plate on most machines is in a college / university gym...

Public gyms with membership options???   The plates should always be taken off, even the leg press.  Many women do one legged leg press for 12 to 15 reps, and a 45 plate on each side is simply too much...  This also goes for Hammer Strength machines...

[abijahmaniaco]

i've never seen a girl doing bench press w/ an olympic size bar. if they do this motion it's w/ dumbells or cambered bar.

that seems backwards, if you pay for something you shouldn't have to do more work.
