When using a power rack (also referred to as a inverted shoulder shrug rack) to do bench press, or any other exercise for that matter, how much does the bar weigh? I know a standard Olympic bar weighs around 45 pounds but with the power rack, it feels like it weighs less than that?tl;dr weight of bar in a power rackpic unrelated
you mean smith machine? Those can vary. My gym has a scale right next to it. I got on-260. me+bar=275. some are assistied while others arent.6'8" big frame b4fatass
Smith Machines are worthless.

Smith machines are very unnatural.
the bar is counter weighted im pretty surei would estimate it at 15lbs, but ive never tested it
