If his bar at home is a standard bar it could well be that much lighter and thinner. They are usually around 6 feet long and start at about 15 pounds. If your bar at home takes the plates with the little holes then it's a standard bar.

I agree with Ross that the diameter of the bar could make a difference and the height of the bench. If your feet can't touch down then put something beside the bottom end of the bench (extra plates) to put your feet on.

I've never really had this happen but I have heard people say that the actual weight of plates can be really off versus what they are supposed to be. You could not only weight your bar but weigh your plates also.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
