Hey /fit/ i started the gym for the first time in my life a couple of week ago and can do a max of 60lbs on bench press and i was just curious, how much does the bar weight? Cause i just count the weight of the plates.

I've never understood the "don't count the bar" shit.
Assuming it's a 20kg bar, even if you're benching 2pl8, that's like another quarter of the weight added on.
If you're lifting baby weight, then it's a pretty substantial addition.
Also, it depends what bars your gym has. A lot don't have 7ft oly bars that weight 20kg/45lb. Many weigh 15 or even 12kg
