I just joined and it has been a while since I did free weights. Had a basic question... how much do the bars weigh without any weight?
Barbell I thought was 45lbs
E-Z bar = 25lbs ???

Get a scale, weigh yourself with the bar, get off the scale and weigh yourself without the bar and do the math.

My Olympic barbell weighs 45 lbs. while my non-Olympic EZ-bar weighs only 10. I believe the Olypic EZ-bar weighs 25.
