Reply to comment by yoosernamesarehard in LPT: Olympic Barbells are rated at exactly 20kg plus or minus a few ounces. The Olympic clips are what add the necessary weight to reach exactly 45lbs so if you're looking to set a personal best, make sure the clips are on to record the correct amount of weight. by [deleted]

I'm sorry.

I read your entire argument. And, just no. Imbalances are obvious when the client's weaker side fails to compensate correctly for the weight and is quite obvious.

If you have a disbalance, have someone check you out at the gym. You do not need to know which side is more disbalanced by compromising your equipment in the process that's a ridiculous argument.

Safety above all, respect the weights, take it seriously. The difference between an awesome physique and a ridiculous physique is attention to detail and planning forward with your training to avoid any potential injuries at all costs.
