Polite number of plates to leave on the bench press bar?

Even in my younger days when I was putting up 315 5-6 times I'd start with a naked bar to stretch focus warm up. If an alpha bro like me likes the bar clean how you'd better clean the bar.

The same was true for me.

I did more than you. But same for me too.

i get this a troll but you seem like you legiimately dont know that the standard way to warm up for bench is to start with the empty bar, even if your work sets are 2+ plates.

In my gym it is considered rude to leave the bar naked to dissuade the boys from playing with men's equipment. Minimum one plate on each side.

no it isnt. ive been strength training for 10 years. benching a bar is ridiculous. spinning your arms around is a better warmup
