I think it normally just depends on the length of bar, My gym has an olympic one which is 44lbs and a really small one which I imagine is more like 22lbs

I wouldn't be surprised. You do pullups like a beast, and your rowing ain't exactly something to sneeze at. 140 lbs for 12 reps, multiple sets, nice.

Its crazy dude they all of a sudden just popped. Seemingly overnight.

The BOR's are in my top 5 favorite exercises. I must pay homage to Chillen for turning me on to those.

I investigated the weight of the Smith machine bar at my YMCA. The bar is a standard olympic bar, 45# (20kg). But, ours has an 16# counterweight on each side with the cable going over a pulley, thus cutting it's effective weight in half, but there are two. So, overall weight of bar:

45# - (2x16/2) = 29#

The smith Machine at our gym is made by Atlantis. I looked it up and:

Counterbalanced system uses Kevlar belts for smooth operation; 12 lb starting resistance

So, my assumption of 10# was pretty good, anyhow thanks for all your help with this :)

Last nights Workout:

Ran approx 4 miles with the typical pull up circuit

I had no endurance yesterday on my run. I'm not sure why really. It just hurt like hell to run. I had to stop a couple times and walk. Weird.
 
Some people must just be made for pressing. How you do 240lbs x 12, ill never know! Its super strength to me, because im so far from it!

I know a lot of people who bench high numbers, must just be me.
 
Hahaha, I was wonderin why you repped me!!!! They are so juicy and lovely.

But seriously, I know what ya mean. I think 240 lbs would just crush me.
