i must confess i usually stack the weight with the letters inside....but someone told me you should do it that way because of the different weight distribution...but i think its just bs i thought about it and its possible i guess?

If your worried about whether the weights are in or out to life them you shouldn't be picking them up at all. Just keep them the same on both sides. Duhhhh

So I guess whatever floats your boat but words in flat side out is the right way ;)

I usualy do it words out.. except if there is a guy that is looking to use my bench or cage that I can't stand... like cell phone talkers.. I just leave the plates on...that way if they are on the phone they have to mess with their phone while trying to wiggle the plates out

When you move to Cali your going to have to change your ways. I'll cut you some slack. You can put the plates back on the tree words out but on the bar words in.
