it weighs next to fuck all, the ones at my gym you can throw it up in the air with your little finger, try doing that to an olympic 20kg bar.

you could probably count 10kg at the most if you are trying to push for numbers

It does feel about 20kg when I'm lifting just the bar. But I'll ask one of the staff at the gym

Jake - I was going for numbers tonight as I finally benched 100kg. Assuming the bar is 20kg

Worst I can lift 80kg post ever, especially considering it's in the wrong section.

Depends on the machine, one gym I go it weighs 27kg, another gym I go it weighs 15kg.

That said, I haven't been to neither in about 4 months...
