I only realised about rotating bars quite recently. I guess I might have noticed before but it hadn't registered.

We have two bars at the gym that I'm likely to use for floor work. To rotate one of them I end up rolling the whole bar, weights and all. On the other bar I can rotate just the bar without movement to the weights.

cut back man, you can't trim back enough imo especially when you're overworked & stressed... when I was doing 1-2 worksets of squats every 14 days I was up to 585 x 3 off a 14" box in a couple of months, of course my dumb ass decided that wasnt enough work 'for size' and added in 10 x 3 backdowns, pause squats, leg press and other recovery killing stuff... so here I am 6 months later with nothing to show for it

nice numbers, 455 clean pull is impressive for 3
