Ridiculous suggestion! Aren't most TV's either 32" OR 37". Who has a 36 these days. How about the easier way of taking a cucumber or 2 to the gym. Remember to measure them first though.

No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 425 1050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	I always used the '3 barbell method'. Simply balnce the bar to be lifted across 2 other barbells. 18"! http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j138/tommytomtomtom/18.jpg

vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350 855.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	PeteHodgson said: they have some in B&Q. Best bet is probably to take bar/plates/boxes etc to B&Q, set up in the aisle and measure with one of the tape measures. You can use those cheap dayglo ones, or a more expensive one if you want a rubber grip and a tape lock. Make sure you put it back where you got it from though. PMSL

Are bumper plates 17.5"? If so, great. Using 18" plates will put the bar centre at nearer 18 1/2", so you'd need to stand on a 1/2 inch board, which itself creates a problem...how would you measure it?

AT OSG, they're 17.5". DON'T ask me how I measured them, it's far too complicated. Anyway, This would put the center of the lower tier bars 8.75" from the ground. Dividing by 2 is a method best left to be described by another thread though. We now note that the diameter of the bar is 29mm. Some crafty decimal to imperial conversion reveals the bar to have a diameter of 1.14", meaning the top of the bar will be 8.75 + (1.14 / 2) inches from the ground. 9.32". Now, to find the height of the center of the bar to be lifted, we must add on 8.75 to the height of the top of the lower tier bars. This comes out to 18.07", making me a f**king lier and a cheat.

Standard plate height is 450mm which is 17.71 inches The confusion never ends it would seem....
