The following chart is designed for bar loading with standard olympic weights (45lb bar with 45lb, 25lb, 10lb, 5lb, and 2.5lb plates). This chart is best applied when spring collars (or other similar barbell collars) are being used and WILL NOT be counted towards the total bar weight.

Notice: Although this chart tops out at 900lbs it is very unlikely to acheive bar weights much past 800 - 850 lbs. Anything higher and it becomes nearly impossible due to the number of plates needed to achieve the desired poundage.
