I always count the weight of the bar as well, seeing as it adds to the total amount you are lifting; it makes sense to me.
An Olympic bar with 50kg on it, weighs a total of 70kg... Not 50... Russ.

My point was when writing a weight down into a training log why would you want to count the bar on the smith machine or EZ bar, far easier to write down the weight that you use on the bar... but if it sounds better to you to count the bar or the smith machine bar weight, then its personal choice....
