We’ve all be in the gym and someone says either something crazy/funny…like Ronnie Coleman - “Everybody wants to be big, but nobody wants to lift heavy weight,” “Nothin’ but a peanut!”
…or we come across questions like…“Do those chains add more weight to the bar?”

honestly, I would have said the same thing. I have seen one woman around here squat and deadlift, and she struggled to pull a BW DL.
On topic: I get a kick seeing the bro’s spot each other on the smith machine (fuck it, any machine), yelling “push, push, all you” while the poor dude goes for his 5th set of forced reps, using a weight he cannot lift once.
