I know the bar (when taken apart from the supports) weighs about 37.5 lbs or so. But what if it is racked on the counterweights? So if I put a 45lb plate on each side for bench press (135lbs total on a normal bench) how much will I be lifting?

there are about 30 different manufactures of smith machines and they are all slightly different, there is no standard.
you should be using free weights anyway over the smith machine. the smith machine is an inferior piece of equipment when compared to either using barbells or dumbbells for benching. the body moves in 3 planes of motion the smith only moves in 2. this does not allow for the maximum stimulation of all muscles

I'm Anthony. I lost 75 pounds and shed my high school nickname Pudgy. Our family has a tragic history of cardiac disease and rheumatoid arthritis. I am proud to say that family tradition ends with me. I know I have broken the cycle and will never have to be faced with those illnesses. Thank, you have changed my life.
