I know the standard barbell you can find at a squat rack is 45 lbs. Can anyone tell me how much the barbell weights on the Jones Machine (like a smith machine but with an extra dimension of freedom)? And also how much it weighs on the standard smith machine. I go to Crunch Gym.

    Smith machines are normally
    Counter weighted.

    Don't worry about the bar weight. The weight you don't on a smith machine won't transfer to anything really anyways.

    Just put enough plates on it so it is challenging.

    They seem to vary so no one can really tell you that, other than the manufacturer.
