How much do empty barbells weigh? Yes, there are also standard 35 pounders, not to mention the metric versions (20, 15, and 8 kg). The standard Olympic-sized bars that most gyms (in the US) carry are 45 lbs. |

My in-apartment gym lacks barbells. Should I join a new gym or buy my own barbell? I agree in general, but I'd like to point out that those prices are for new equipment. You can reliably get quality used equipment on Craigslist for half that. |

Low-calorie, low-sugar, low-cost, large-serving-size, “meaty” packaged foods at grocery store? Per the FAQ, questions on nutrition are expected to have a direct tie-in to fitness (exercise or physique goals); also purchase recommendations are considered off-topic. |

Is there a connection between display font smoothing and eye focusing ability (and overall health)? Agree, without citations Skeptics won't want this question. I suggest reposting there with citations added. |

How much do the plates in Crossfit weigh? Also, given that it's a women in the photo she might be using a 15kilo bar instead of the standard 20(~45 lbs). |

How much do the plates in Crossfit weigh? All bumpers are the same circumference; you have to look at the color to determine the weight (and also figure out if it's lbs or kilos, which are used in formal Olympic competitions). |

What assessments would you recommend prior to working out? Interesting, I assume you mean prior to beginning a new program (as opposed to prior to a regular workout)? I like this, quantifying that ubiquitous-but-unhelpful disclaimer to see a doctor before beginning any exercise regimen... |
