Bench press question?!
Question: If you have a lot of weights on the bar like 5 20's would it feel heavier then if you had 2 50's? To me it just seems like if the weight is spread out then it would be harder to lift.

I have wondered that too before.
The answer is no, it's not harder to lift. You would be lifting the exact same amount of weight, so any difference you noticed would be all in your head.
its harder dumbass if u add more plates on each side its a wider are thats farther out which makes it harder than the 2 50's ..
You are absolutely correct! Five twenty pound weights would first of all be unattainable, as the bar would be imbalanced, unless the bar itself weighs 20 pounds. Having he weight distributed rather than just at the ends can impact your lifting. It's easier when the weights take up more space on your pectorals, so mix it up.
Good Luck : ]
