No. Not good for barbells to store weights on them

no, I'm the a-hole who works out solo and doesn't worry about anyone else but me when I'm in the gym. I don't critique, advise, judge, or otherwise really worry about anyone else- unless they ask for my help.
The only people I pay attention to when I work out are people who may be in my way or pretty girls.

I probably picked up this habit in 9th grade football team, it was all dudes lifting, not a female in sight.
We got a hardo over here! In ninth grade, you probably weren't lifting much more than the girls your age.

I don't even lift bro and I learned this on HS gym class.

HS strength and conditioning coach instilled
1) re-rack
2) if you can't put it down in a controlled manner, you have no business lifting it. ( or words to that affect)

The older gym patrons need us to re-rack.
Of course, if you are using your high school or college weight room, then leave the 45 lbs plate ON, because there will be no old broken people there who need us to re rack.

It's not good for barbells when I bench.
Posted on 2/24/15 at 10:24 am to 632627
I always left a 45 on each side.

What about for leg press? Still unacceptable for leaving one on each side?

Free Weights = I Completely re-rack
Machines = Sometimes i'll completely re-rack if I notice a lot of ladies in the gym. If it is just a bunch of guys, sometimes i'll leave a plate on each side.

Re-rack. And if you want to text or Facebook, get your arse off the bench.

Uh....they are still dropping the weight in a controlled manner. When they don't, it's called crossfit.

I hate you clowns who leave plates on the bars....then the bars bend.
But it's cool....you're the badass who doesnt touch his chest and drops the dumbbells from max height for your badassness.
fricking dbags.

Unless someone is standing there waiting, and they say, "Yeah man, just leave those plates on..." you should re rack all of your weights.
This. Also, people that don't rerack their weights are the same people that don't return their shopping cart to the corral. There's a special place in hell for these type of people.

I re rack all but one on each side of leg press, and one on calf raise and t bar row each is acceptable.
