Random thought, I always wonder how much weight is too much on one side of a squat or bench bar before the bar flips over. Is 2 45's on one side and nothing on the other enough to have the bar flip or does it take more weight? Just wondering because I was racking 225 on squats and started to take the second 45 off one side but was worried it would be too much on the other side.

 

I've had 2 45's on one side and nothing on the other and nothing happened. I'm assuming a 3rd would cause it to flip over though.

Of course, there's already a bb.com thread for this exact question lol:

 

The bar at my gym stays put with 2 45's on one side and none on the other. I don't wanna find out how much it takes though and have everyone stare at you, lol.

 

Depends on the rack. I've seen 100lb plate on one side, and nothing on the other and the bar still stay. I've also seen a bar go airborne when someone took two 45's off one side and smash into an 8x8' window. The wider the rack, the more weight. But, in most gyms two 45s on one side usually holds. I just do one plate a side at a time, b/c I don't want to be that guy that sent a 45lb projectile into an expensive piece of glass or mirror.

 

This is happening.

 

Now Beavis I could see as the stereotypical "douche" crossfitter
