when keeping track of my bench press weights and goals, should i include the weight of the bar itself, or only the weights?
for example, i can only bench press 14 pounds in weight on a 45 pound bar. i do 6 sets of 10. how should i count this?

Hey, I'm just headed out the door........but always count the bar.

So if you had 10 pound on each side it would be 65 pound bench. If you had 45 on each side, 135lb bench.

So in any exercise using a bar, always include it in the overall weight and most bars are 45 pounds.

Take care,
