You’ve all been there.  You’re warming up toward your work set.  You’ve got a 25# and 10# on each side.  You want to go for 135#, but here’s your dilemma:  do you grab two 10# plates, or remove everything and reload with 45′s?   Well, shucks, you don’t want to tire yourself out, so you opt for the path of least resistance and before you know it, you have the entire collection of 10′s and 15′s loaded on your bar.

Well, believe it or not, there is a rule for proper bar loading, particularly with weights that you intend to drop (i.e. cleans, jerks, snatches, and even deadlifts).  The above pic was created by Strength+ Magazine to illustrate the common bar-[mis]loading errors and the rational behind it.   Read it, memorize it, and follow it, or be branded a gym kook.
