There's two types of bars, the olympic bar, and I don't know the name of the other bar, but the olympic bar has a larger diameter then the other bar which is generally what most people use. The smaller diameter bar is around 5 pounds per cubic foot. So if the bar is three feet, that's fifteen pounds. If its 4 feet, its twenty pounds, and so on.
