How much does the bar weigh in weightlifting? Does that include into what you can bench?

When someone says they can bench 150lbs does that include the bar? How much does the bar weigh? I am pretty sure it weighs 45lbs but i am not positive.|||A standard olympic bar wighs 45 lbs ( intruth 44.2lbs as all olympic bars are meassured in kilograms and the weight is 20 kg).


The bar is about 8 ft long.


If you say you can bench 150lbs then you include the bar in that number.


Hope this helps|||The standard is 45lbs (I've seen some 30lb bars but they are less common) and yes people always include the bar.|||the bar normally weighs 45 pounds and it is included in your bench weight|||i no the olympic bars are 45 pounds and that dose count towards your max bench
