a weight associated with the bar assembly during lifts. I.e. if I place a 45
lb plate on each end for a lift, am I lifting only 90 lbs., or is it made in
such a way as to make it approximate the weight of a bar also? I've taken to
using this lately, since I have no partner, and thus, no spotter at the the
gym with me. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

I'll tackle this before you get flamed....

Stay away from these things.
