Facing numbers in?

[myfault]

I do like the sticky-note idea though. Would it work the same for those of us working out at home?

yes, just be sure the numbers on the notes face inward towards you....
that way you will know how much you are lifting.

and be sure to stack the weights from smallest to biggest, throw the 25s on first, then 35s, then 45s, this way, all of the sticky notes can be seen. if u stacked from 45 to 25, theyd be out of ur vision so keep that in mind...

Good grief. None of it makes a difference, other than a mental one for some of you freaks! LoL And I take umbrage at the comment that only "total noobs" face the numbers outward. The plates are on the plate holder w/ the numbers facing out . . . I take them from the holder, and put them on the bar. Thus, the numbers remain facing out. Otherwise, I'd have to flip the plates around, which uses valuable energy and muscle that I'll need for my 30th set of monkey-butt pinkey flared flies.

Word. I work out at home and do the same thing...damn vain commercial gym lifters facing the numbers inward so it looks clean for the spandex-clad treadmillers. Plus, having them out looks cleaner from the only perspective that matters to me.

Do you guys know nothing about lifting? The numbers have to face outwards to allow the chi to flow through the bar and to deflect the negative thoughts of the haters willing you to fail. It's a matter of defence. I thought everyone knew this.

you have to get those "winni-v" tabs and crush them down until they are a fine powder. then put the powder in water and drink away. you will gain 5 lbs of muscle your first drink. if you want to get cut, add a hydroxycut pill.

if you face the numbers inside there is only the smooth outside of the weights...hence....less wind resistance!!!

I like to keep the weight even along the entire bar. If I am doing 245 I like to use 8 25lb plates.

I really did have a friend that always left the number out because " I dont want people to think those are 35's" hahahah If your 1rm is 135 I guess that could be embarssing.
