For measuring, I put a bathroom scales under one wheel, and a stack of wood under the other to keep the bike level, then balanced on it with hands on the drops.
(I've since gone to a zero-setback post on that bike for a better fit, which also improved the distribution a bit.)
A good argument for "load your bike in the front first", which I read in Bicycling Magazine back in the 70's before the everyone started buying rear racks.
