Barbell Question

If I want my barbell to be 17 lbs, is it 17 lbs on each end, or 17 lbs split up evenly between both ends?:eek:

Thanks!!
Kirsten
 
17# would be the total weight.
Subtract from that the weight of the barbell (for example, 5 pounds), then add half of the remainder to each end of the bell (in this example, it would be half of 12#, or 6# per side).
