I dont think its on the bar and I dont feel like inspecting them and looking like an idiot at the gym! I go to LA fitness if that helps.

Its easier to stabilize when the bar weighs more. Like if you had 9 fives on instead of a forty five there'd be more stuff moving around and it'd be harder to control
