The entire weight set is counted (bar, plates & collars).

Yes. You always count the pole when calculating weight being lifted. So in the US, if you have two large 45lb weights on each side, and have a 35lb bar; you are lifting a total weight of 45 + 45 + 35 = 125 lbs.

Ye thats advantageous. All i presently do for chest is 3 instruments of bench press with the barbell for a warmup and then 3 instruments of five reps with my optimum. Iv carried out this for a pair of months now and my bench press continues to be going up by using around 2.5kg a week. identity swap to barbell chest press in spite of if somewhat than dumbell press, purely untill you have had some good valuable properties from it.

Usually they do count the weight of the pole. Good question.
