How much does the bar weigh on a smith machine?

Obviously not 0.00 because it would fall to the floor. Not 45 lbs. either by a long shot.
Anyone know the actual weight?

I’ve always thought it was 45 pounds, but feels lighter because of its mechanics and the way it is leveraged against a slanted spire. I have no idea the real answer and am now curious though.
ETA: LINK. It looks like some use counterweights to make it lighter and some don’t.

The one in my apartment gym says it weights 25 lbs. Its still not a true 25 though since you don't have to stabilize it

Yeah and with the counter weight they're saying it would be 15 lbs. I would think more but I don’t know.

Should say the starting weight somewhere on the machine. One I used in the past was 15 lbs

It varies from machine to machine but typically it's in the range of 15-21 lbs.
