Bar + Plates or Plates only...?

Hello!!

Well I've read the programe overview and lots of threads on here and I've downloaded the app - ready to go!!

Just have one (probably very silly :blushing: !) question - when recording my weight do I include the bar AND plates or just the plates?

I realise I'll start with just the bar for some of the lifts so I'm guessing that would be 20kg (or whatever the bars at my gym weigh) - then if I added 2 x 5kg plates later in the program, this would be recorded as 30kg?

Thanks!

    bar + plates

    The bar is a sizable amount of weight on its own so it gets included.

    everything! you want credit for it. If you lift it or squat it, it counts!

    Thank you!!

    I thought I probably did but I never have before when lifting for some reason!!??

    This makes my PB deadlift look a little more impressive now I can add an extra 20kg lol!!
