: In actuality, the whole set-up weighs less than forty five pounds when actually performing the lift.
: Try lifting the bar up by itself and you will notice it is significantly lighter than a regular 45 pound bar.
: The pulley attatchments make it feel like less weight (its some law of physics).
Actually, most Smith machines tell you how much the bar weighs.
At our gym, it says 15 pounds. I know the bar weighs 45, so I guess
all those attachements make it lighter.
