When posting totals online, do i include the weight of the equipment (the bars) or is it enough to simply post the amount of weight used. Example, should I post 90LBS or 135LBS?? Thanks for the help.

always add in the weight of the bar........so if you do bench press with a 45 lb weight on each side, then you are doing 135 lbs, not 90

As long as you are consistant, it does not matter. Like Nyxtikal stated, I add the weight of the bar
