How much does the bar weigh by itself?

Mine came in at just under fifteen. If you are wanting to just start out for the first time, or have someone you want to start lifting, just use the bar alone for a few weeks to get the range of motion just right. Practicing form is the best foundation. Many injuries come from poor form / posture. Once the form is perfect you can add small weights. I am NOT an expert but I do know that it is better to build slowly with proper form, than to pile the weight on too quick and be unable to smoothly control it. Good luck.

I bought one just a few weeks ago. It only weighs about 68lbs in the box shipping weight and about 60lbs by itself.

I didn't weigh it, but it's not difficult for me to lift. I'd estimate 20 pounds.

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

Not sure of the weight, but I can carry it alone from my garage into my house - I am a senior.

Not sure of the weight...it is built sturdy but easy to handle. Most people should be able to mount it alone if you have no lifting restrictions or back issues.

No, this weight bar is designed to be used alone. If you added any weight to the bar it would tear the protective covering. The ends of the bar are square and there is no way to secure any additional weight(s).

Maybe 30 lbs...I can easily pack it away alone. That being said, it is extremely sturdy and professional looking. My home clients and friends are blown away when I tell them the price I paid.

There are no add on weight to my knowledge. The bar is pretty stiff so there is more resistance than you think. It's actually too difficult to do some exercises, like rehabbing a shoulder or working on rotator cuffs.

I own this bar and believe it is right around 45lbs. It does seem a little thicker than a standard Olympic bar. It's held up pretty well across a spectrum of power lifting routines.

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).

So according to my bathroom scale it weighs 48.8 lbs. With that said, due to the shape of the scale surface I wasn't able to center it. As I'm sure you are aware most weights vary a bit from what they're advertised as. For me I treat this bar as a 50lb bar when calculating weight, and I believe the packaging from xmark had it listed as 50lbs as well.

My guess is about 8 lbs. I weighed myself and then again holding it. Hope this helps. I don't lift it, I just roll it anyway!

The handle by itself weighs 10.1 lbs but has to removable bars that fit internally. Each bar weighs about 4.95lbs. To keep if balanced you should either take both out or keep them both in.

I'm not sure.I'm not able to pick it up by myself.(I'm 53 yrs old.)I would guess it to be around 50 pounds.
