Video-Bar loading guide for meets
« on: Jan 12, 2011, 01:21 AM »
Computer program I have been working on as a guide for insuring proper loading of the men's bar at a competition.
Bar Loading Guide.wmv

This is a work-in-progress but the graphics are much better when running the program than is displayed in this lo-res video.

Working version of the program, click on link -

http://womag1.com/LoadBM/index.htm

Program uses Javascript so your browser may ask if you want to run the program. Runs best on larger resolution screen settings.
When the program is running, just move your mouse pointer to any kg. designated box on the bottom 2 rows to get an instant visual of one side of a properly loaded bar.
(currently between 25kg and 124kg in 1 kg increments - could be expanded to WR poundages)
Program could be of use for loaders under meet conditions.
Comments/suggestions for improvements welcome.

very useful video.  Its always frustrating as an athlete when you come out for a weight and its loaded incorrectly.  it slows down the competition and makes it difficult to re-focus.

well done.

I've always found the job of bar loading as quite stressful, knowing that if the wrong weight was loaded, it would effect the lifters & broadly the whole comp.

Major overhaul of this program.

Pic of home page
Once you select the bar load range and the page loads, the mouseovers of the bar weight adjuster strip is real fast.
Click on below link to give it a try.

Made some changes and added World, European and American Records in a drop down menu below the banner.

To operate, just move your mouse pointer over the slider strip below the weight range selector buttons, to change the weight range, click a new weight range button and again, slide the mouse pointer over the slider strip.
Hope it proves useful and entertaining.
