when someone says 'I squat X kg' or 'DL X kg',do they include the weight of the Olympic bar , which I believe weighs approx 20kg?
Thanks

Yes. A 20kg bar with two 20kg plates is 61kg.0

20 + 20 + 20 = 61? I think I must've done something different in my maths classes at school....:flowerforyou:0 -

I looked online for the answer to this question a week or so ago and the general answer is yes you should include tha bar. You're lifting the bar so you include the bar.
This means that after a couple of months of training - I'm slightly better than untrained according to this: http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.html
I'm not as strong as a novice though.0 -
Yes, the bar is included. A lifting total is the TOTAL weight lifted. You must also include the weight of the collars, if significant.0
