20kg the last I measured it.
You might want to start with the shorter one that's around 10.

20kg standard olympic

no lar. i don't mean i can't lift it. just that i was surprise at how heavy it is. i expect it to be light, like 5kg or something. I need to know the barbell weight so that i can add it to other weight to track my training progress. i curl 30kg in one hand.

yep, average bar like that is more or 45 pounds or 20kg

Any lighter and it will snap when lifting > 300 pounds

/k standard everyone has 6 packs.
this one like 1gram to them

Should be able to do 70 to 80 with two hands then.

Got 20kg so heavy? I dont do lifting or stuff but once somebody left the empty bar on the floor so I put it back on the rack. I thought it was about 10kgs or something

That's the shorter version, about 1.5m in length.

you curl 30kg dumbbells? strong e-stats bro

so hardcore.jpg

thats for newbie to warm up before doing bench press ....

FUKKEN LOLED curl 30KG

standard olympic 20kg, cap ayam less than 20kg

should be pounds

curl 30kg yet dont know how much the bar weighs.

I see what you did there

post a pic of your biceps with timestamp
i dont need to see you curling 30kg, just wanna see your biceps with timestamp

now

10kg for short ones and 20kg for long ones, deswai don laugh at ppl that benchpress empty bar...

pounds

Bro, 30kg dumbels in one hand is hardcore BB already. Its what ppl in UFC, professional boxing would be doing.

WTH benchpress with empty bar

I first time pergi jim pon empty bar... seminggu muscles sore.. now dah ok boleh tambah berat.

standard olympic is 20kg

u think dont have?

chee bye empty bar go do push ups la! wasting gym space only! other ppl wanna use 1 la!

take bar to weigh scale.

stand on scale without bar
stand on scale with bar

difference = weight of bar

dude wut

its considered light wor

i using small one. the entire bar for my case 5kg. but i add 5kg both side

TS = spongebob

do u even lift bro? jogging is cardio, that is leg day warm up, which is today. lifting warm up is push-up, then start with empty bars 1 set, and then let them roll, 5kg then 10kg plates per side. max i go is 20kg per side.

put bar on the scale = weight of bar

jogging to warm up for bench press.

seems legit.

i dont think he lift... that y he dunno even the fittest dude use empty bar

You curl 30kg but never lifted the empty barbell before to know how heavy it was??? Sounds suspicious..Must be biceps day evryday for you...

first time i ever go gym. got trainer. and trainer told me to lift empty barbell. i tot its guna be pis of kek. he ask me do rep so much until cant even lift. damn!

Between 20kg to 24kg

empty bar weight as much as another empty bar bro

warm up need at least 50kg lah

push-up less 10 want to lift ah?

there's 30kg written on the dumbbell. But nothing like that on the bar. i belek-belek still couldn't find it.

i post my pic already. u never see eh?

suddenly /k got so much gym pros

something tells me mr potato head here doesnt know the difference between pound and kg
