Hello everyone.

Very brief question, when people say how much they can lift does it include the weight of the bar? or is it strictly the amount the are adding on to the bar?

Cheers!

    The weight of the bar + the additional weight. Most barbells found in gyms are 20kg.

    Ok, thank you! I've been reading how much people can lift and thinking mine is really low at least I can add a bit more on :wink:

    add the bar, and not every barbell weighs the same.
