Whats the use of putting plates on with the weight or brand facing the lifter? I thought it was for ease of use getting the plates back off?

[lil_big_junior]

i put my plates on so that ppl can see what i'm pushing...lol nah, jokes...i put mine on back to front too...no reason for this at all...

[Kirk]

personal thing, back to front...always have, always will, guess its just habit

[chrispghmuscle]

I put them on flat side out.. or numbers in ( if you will ) not reason at all..

[Kaboom]

numbers in and if i put on on the other way I take it of and turn it around but dont know why!!

[mabo]

I put the first plate with the numbers facing in, the rest with the numbers facing out. I do this just for neatness and ease of counting.

I put them on numbers out and its crazy too because that will really effect my set if I dont.

i put mine with the numbers in too. i think people go through so much trouble to try and show off what theyre benching. and i have no reason to show off my bench haha. so i keep the numbers in. for the noobs ho cant count the weights

True but anyone whos been around weights can tell by the size of the plate.

yeh i like to have the number on the plates facing out, iv never realised it till now but thats how i always stack em on

hahahahahaha...I'm laughin' like hell.....cause at the gym I'm trainin' now the plates have no numbers on them so I don't know were the front is...they just have a very small colored line on them on one of the sides(example:blue for 15kg)...But to me it doesn't matter on what side they are as long as the plares are heavy
