Duh Question!!

[kyliemarie]

I'm looking to purchase more bar weights for the upcoming STS workout. When Cathe says she has say "40lbs", does that mean 40lbs on each side with combined total of 80 or 20lbs on each side with a combined total of 40? Please help this poor confused girl!! Thanks

When Cathe says she has 40 pounds that's total and includes the wt of the bar. So if the bars weighs 5 pounds you would have 17.5 pounds on each side plus the wt of the bar to = 40

Not a stupid question!!! She means 40 lbs total--20 on each side. Also, don't forget to account for how much the bar, itself weighs. Be sure to add that into your calculations for how many plates you add...

I'm glad this was asked - I was never sure if her poundage included the weight of the bar or not. Whew, I'm glad it is included, doesn't make me feel as bad now. :7
