Barbell Weight..How MUCH AM I BENCHING

Whats the standard weight. Anyways I bench about 45lbs on each side of the bar, so 90lbs plus the bar, how much is that. Majority of people in my gym do that weight, so I just stick to that. How much does that mean Im benching.

Do what "you" are able to do safely. The olympic bar weighs 45lbs. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.
