Nothing catastrophic will happen per se if you load it with 310lb but it could get a permanent slight bend to it. Lol possibly turn it into a cambered bar

Some cheap bars will just increase the diameter to make it more "sturdy" or to increase the wt capacity. Then there are high quality bars where they can keep the bar thin (think less than 30mm), and they usually use a PSI rating instead of a wt capacity.

You're probably gonna want to google for the details. I'm sure I'm pissing someone off by generalizing such a specific topic lol

Quote from hmx :
Permanent bends in metal happen when exceeding the young's modulus. The point where failure occurs, bending or fracturing, is when it exceeds the elastic range for the steel, ie when it springs back to shape. Hardening steel increases the force needed to exceed the elastic range, but then the failure tends more to fractures than permanent bends as the hardness is increased.

That doesn't mean any oly bar is going to snap, just saying that for the same diameter piece of metal, the ability to handle more weight without damage is going to come from using an alloy that can be hardened and isn't delivered dead soft.

Young's modulus is material property that defines stiffness until plastic deformation occurs.

Yield stress is typically used to define the point at which permanent deflection can occur.

Ultimate stress is when static load creates fracture.

Steel can be alloyed, work hardened, heat treated, etc to increase strength all while leaving size the same.

This isn't a perfect explanation but it's a little less misleading..

It means: the more plates (weight) you put on to bench, the more muscular you get. Which will enhance your physical appearance. Which will bring you more dates, men or women.

I can't understand how 45lbs of steel, with multiple machined parts, chrome plated, and assembled, can cost $30, but a cast-iron 45 plate costs like $65

The more weight plates you can move, the more dates (the food) you have to consume. When you build muscle, your body burns more calories at rest.

More plates require more dates.

Can we then suggest that more plates would equal more bowel movements? Because a date or 2 go a long way for me!

Absolutely. Remember, more plates=more dates.
Unfortunately, motorcycle accident broke my left thumb, right wrist and forearm. So, I'm just trying to get back into the rhythm and build a home gym.
