I really can't figure out why people wouldn't count the weight of the bar...you're lifting the bar as well, not just the weight, so you would count the weight of the bar.

i started off benching 65 lbs with no spot, my first rep the bar got stuck on my chest and i couldnt get it up..

<---- my age, Weighs 140lbs, went to gym, cant bench more than 5 reps of 55 pounds.

Dude, gotta start somewhere. First time I went to the gym, I 3 repped 65 and couldn't move my chest without wincing the next day.

Gotta remember, we all start somewhere, I'm still getting started, only been doing this 3 months and I've had some decent gains. Add 5 Ibs on each workout, once you reach failure drop 10 Ibs on the bar and go again, adding 5 Ibs for every workout.

A bar doesn't always weigh 45 lbs, that's only if it's an olympic bar which is a lot thicker and longer than a standard bar. Just sayin' cause I know when I started benching my bar only weighed 20.

Also OP what weight you start at is meaningless, the final product is what counts.
