Also sometimes he doesn't arrange each side identically.

I haven't really said anything, because I don't know if it's no big deal or if he should really spend the extra 30 seconds arranging the plates right. What say you?
in my opinion it's important to balance both sides of the bar for sure! especially if we're talking about bench presses.
