Weights ?

[Lollie61]

Hi Cathe!
It has been a long time since I have posted. I hope you are doing well. I posted this question at VF also. When you say you are using a 45 lb barbell, are you including the weight of the barbell, or just the weights you load onto the barbell?

Thanks,
Lollie

Bless you Lollie! I say this because just last week I posted this same question on the Cathe video questions and comments board and I felt a little stupid for not knowing the answer without asking, but now I feel better! I'm not the only one out there with that question!!!!!
But here's the answer I got repeatedly...........
You DO count the weight of the bar in your total.

It's the total weight, including the weight of the bar.

Thank you Donna and Bobbi.
