Should I count the weight of the bar on the Smith machine when I do squats?

If so, how much is the bar? Is the bar the standard 45 lbs, and I would add my weight to it?

Thanks, -Squats Newbie.

    I don't think you count the weight on the bar because you are really not lifting the bar, you are just sliding it up and down..
