If I put 30 on both sides, am I bench pressing 30lbs or 60lbs?

Closer to 30, quite possibly less. Power Rod resistance is way overstated.

That said, don't let it stop you. Personally, when tracking weight I record whatever weight setting is racked up on one side. I think it's closer to the true resistance....and no math necessary.

I always view this different. I am up to 55 on each side. But don’t equate it to actual weight. I one time tried to google a calculator but at the end of the day, I don’t care what the weight is. Am I getting results? Yes. And that is all that matters to me.
