Does anyone know how much the 5ft barbell weighs?

12.8 lbs. on my 'EatSmart' precision digital bathroom scale. Remember, each scale and bar may vary by a few ounces. The bar is no less than 10 lbs. and any weight over ten is a positive cushion. So I'm happy!

My husband just weighed it.......5lbs. exactly. They're very sturdy and comfortable!

I measured mine on a balance beam against barbell weights at 5 lb. Bathroom scale agrees but they are not so accurate at low wts. While it is weighty and quite nicely made, I prefer my old standby maple rolling pin, but for home made pasta, my son prefers the marble.

I haven't weighed it, but I am 5' 1" and 108, and I can lift it no problem. It is very light.

Less than 5 lbs for sure. It's maybe 2 lbs. Not very heavy. I gave it as a gift, if I had it here I would weigh it for you. Sorry.

It is a light weight bar. You only need 15-20 pounds as you will be doing hundreds of reps!

Supposed to be 1000 pounds, I used with 300 with no problem. It is from New York Barbell.

It comes with a bar connected to the Smith system but it does not come with the 45 lb Olympic bar and no weights.it comes in three large boxes on a pallet with a total weight of about 400 lbs. I dont remember the exact demensions of the boxes but it was large. The system is pretty great once you get it assembled.

My husband said it was about 50lbs.. He's a pretty good judge of these things as he lifts things all the time with his work. I just sold it as I'm too ill to use it. I did love it and it worked great for me while I had it.

I am not sure of the exact weight because I ordered this for my mom in another state. I would estimate that it weighs about 5 lbs.

I got and recommend an Olympic bar & weight set. Its a 2inch grip 45lb barbell & then 260lbs of weights. You can order them online but unless you can find it for free or low shipping its best to use local. Amazon has them as a set from diff sellers for $385 to over $400. Dicks Sports has them for $209 in store but charges like $200 to ship it to you. I went to our local Hibbetts sports & bought them. The bar comes with 2 clips

For one dumbbell the bar, by itself, weighs 5 lbs. Then each side increases in increments of 2.5 lbs, up to four options, giving you a total of 10 lbs on each side of one dumbbell (total weight = 25 lbs).

I'm not exactly sure. I've never really weighted it, but I can't imagine it weighs that much. Like I noted, its two, hollowed-out pieces of flimsy metal that are barely held together with some pegs you have to hammer in to them. I'd say there's virtually no weight to the bar itself, and I'd highly recommend using another bar in lieu of the one included. I've only put up to 60 pounds on this bar; I really don't think it could handle the whole hundred.

I'm sorry I do not know as I don't have a scale but it feels almost as heavy as my 5 pound dumb bell.

Good question. I never noticed when I ordered mine so it's probably just a typo? My bar was 44.2 pounds. Official weight is supposed to be 44.0 pounds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbell#Men.27s_bar).

I do not know the actual, accurate weight, but - it is lightweight. I would think even packaged for shipping it wouldn't be more than 5#.

It does not weigh anything. I am using it on a 5wt rod and it looks big but is a nice balance for it. I really like the feel of it!!
