And some smiths are weighted/balanced too.

Your really never know I have had smith machine bars that if you didnt put weight on them they would actually go up on there own.

VIX: don't sweat the weight , in any case.....all will be different no matter where you go, and if you are in one place, the weight is all relevant...

The same **** happens in my gym, no weight, the bar slowly goes up.

Maybe walking or jumping rope, too

I count the bar as ZERO, and it seems to transfer pretty well to free weight. My gym only has SM, but I have a squat station at home that I use as well. I tend to migrate to the SM, because I have no spotter at the house.

Mine weighs 30lbs per parabody.

I'd quote you individually, but as previously pointed out....

I'm going to ignore that it weighs anything and just keep slapping the 25# plates on there. Don't get excited, only one per side. : ) Usually some nice young man will ask if I need any help with that.

Thanks for all the info. You're all awesome!

I'll give some more usless info.( incase dbx stops by) I have a Yukon smithmachine. The bar weights 18 lbs. and the total assembly weighs 26.25 lbs.

The one in my gym is 15lbs...per the company. Google is your friend if you know the make and model.
