15. Do I count the weight of the bar?
Yes. Normal Olympic barbells are 45 pounds. EZ-Curl bars are
around 20. It's for your own purposes, so you don't have to, but
when you start talking weights you should know that most people
include the weight of the bar. In some cases, such as, Leg Press or
various other machines, just record the weight you add. Be careful
when going to other gyms, their platform/sled may weigh a lot more
than yours.
