How much does the bench press bar weigh?

Bench Press bar weighs about 25 pounds unlike an Olympic Bar that weighs 45 pounds. My Wife prefers this bar over the Olympic Bar. Gym is totally awesome.

When I purchased the bench I weighed 268 lbs and the bench has held up fine. A word of caution though, I don't believe this bench was meant to used for lifting weights. It is fine for use lifting dumbells, doing crunches, etc., but not for barbells. I'm down to 238 lbs and the bench is part of my workout.

4.0 oz. According to the package, which I have here beside me, the weight of the bar is 4 OZ./113g.

Not sure, but it seems sturdy enough. The bar comes in three sections, and you have to drive these four steel pins into the bar with a hammer to secure it. It'd probably be fine with 100lbs or so, but I might get a little nervous after that. But again, I have not used this for bench presses at all.

Yes, its solid. And yes, it is about 16 lbs when it is shipped and taken out of the box to be used. Not bad for starters. It only hold 1" weights. Olympic weights use higher. But yes, this is pretty solid barbell. :)

Yes. I am bench pressing 235lbs. Rack is strong but light. It will move. I have it placed against the wall and I gently "drop" bar on rack.

The weight of the bar is minimal maybe 2 pounds will hold between 80-100 lbs of additional weight.

The previous reviewers are incorrect. The bar is only 10 pounds(unless my scale is incorrect).

For the weights for the leg curls it is a 1" bar. As for the bench it probably doesn't matter as long as the bar is long enough. I bought a 2" bar but as long as the bar is wide enough a 1" would work. The bar I bought is 7' long and that is what I would reccomend.

This bar is 84" in length, it takes up to 5 olympic plates on each side or up to 500 lbs. This bar fits most benches.

It's approved up to 650lbs and 250lbs on the lat attachment. I've done 300 lb rack pulls and 250 lb bench press, haven't had any problems yet. I've had 160 lbs on the attachment.

No the bar is built into the Smith machine, and is about 20 pounds lighter than the standard Olympic bar. You should adjust your routine for the 20lb difference

I don't know the official weight limit. I was 260 at my highest and was using the bar with no problem.

I've bought it for my 13 yr old to do safer squats and dead lifts so I've only had 180 lbs in weights on it. The bar weighs 50 lbs by itself and seems very solid. I would recommend !

It's 44 lbs. (The weight Olympic bars are) Never trust the shipping weight when it comes to weight lifting equipment.

I have not tried to lift 1500 pounds lol. This bar is very sturdy, much more for powerlifting than olympic lifting. With the olympic lifts it does the job. The spin on the bar is good(better if you lubricate the bearing with 3 in 1 oil). Not a lot of whip as you would see in the $300+ bars. Overall it does the job and a fair price.

I am certain that the bar is 45lbs. My only way of weighting the bar was to weight my self without the bar on a bathroom scale, then weight myself with the bar on the scale. According to the scale the bar weights 45 pounds.
