Depends on the smith, some are counter weighted more than others. I think the ones at my gym weight 25lbs, but I just keep track of the weight added and dont pay attention to the bar itself.

Yea that's what I do, I recently started using smith cause I need it to optimize rest pause and I don't have a partner.

the one i use has an olympic bar (45lbs) with attachments on each side i would guess 65lbs. It mainly depends on the machine.

Ours is a 45lb bar counterweighted by 15lbs. So a net of 30.

Can't count it though because you can hold that bar up with two fingers. Try it, then go to free weights world of difference. Smith machines to me feel like they are helping much.
