    weight + bar or just weight

    Just wanted to know,
    are you meant to include the weight of the bar plus the weight of the weights when working out the weight you are lifting.

    because the bars are about 20kgs at my gym, which makes a difference in the total you are lifting.
    WHY?.....

    Because life was'nt meant to be easy

    You consider the weight of the bar - so 2 20KG plates on an olympic bar bell means your pressing 60Kgs
    I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?

    If you lift the bar, you include the bar.
    No Milk, no.
    Milk is for babies. When you grow up, you have to drink beer.
