Product Information

If you have limited space in your workout area, dumbbells are an efficient way to achieve the maximum outcomes from your home workout. The answer to this question depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you're serious about weightlifting, a 7ft, 20kg Olympic barbell is the way to go. It can hold more weight and is the standard size for competitive lifting. However, if you're just starting out or have limited space, a 6ft barbell is a great option. It's more affordable and easier to manoeuvre, making it ideal for home gyms. A barbell is a long metal bar that is used in weight training exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. It typically has sleeves on each end that can hold weight plates. What is a 7ft Barbell?

Olympic Bars are longer and stronger than Standard Bars and are able to withstand a maximum weight load of up to 750kg. Olympic Weight Plates therefore come in heavier sizes with a 2” diameter hole in the centre of the plate. They are available from 1.25kg up to 50kg. Olympic Weights are better suited for intermediate/advanced strength trainer who are lifting heavier than the novice/beginner lifter. There are a number of different Weight Plates available, including Cast Iron, Bumper Grip and Rubber plates. That said, unless you are lifting quite heavy, an Olympic bar will be perfectly fine for the general population who do exercises like deadlifts, bench press, and squats. Most people won't be able to notice any whip as they simply aren't lifting heavy enough for it to come into play. One feature that we think folks will love is the extra space on the sleeve for loading plates. Our 30kg bar brags the most loadable sleeve length on the market with a whole 20.5″ of loadable sleeve! Sleeve spin: Olympic bars have sleeves with smooth, fast bearings (often called needle bearings), which allow the bar to spin rather than getting caught by the momentum of the platesA hex or trap bar is a hexagonal-shaped barbell that has handles on each side. The handles are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the body of the bar, which allows you to stand inside the bar and lift the weight from a more neutral position. Standard weights are smaller in comparison to Olympic weights and are recommended for the novice/beginner. Standard weights have a 1" diameter hole in the centre of the weight plate. Standard weight plates come in the following sizes: 0.5kg, 1.25kg, 2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg 25kg. A standard barbell maximum weight is around 120kg. Once you are lifting near this limit, you will need to consider Olympic weights. Olympic Weights

Knurling: The knurling is the engraved part of the shaft that provides a rough surface to enhance grip. The pattern and dimensions of the knurling will vary across barbells (i.e. some will have knurling at the center of the handle, some will not). Standard Knurling and Markings: The entire shaft has an aggressive volcano knurl of 1.5mm, with clear markings of powerlifting knurls inclusive of the center mark. A firm grip is ensured due to the aggressive knurl pattern, without being sharp or abrasive. We'll take a closer look at the differences between these two types of barbells to help you make an informed decision.Superior Strength and Finish: The Squat bar weight 25 kg, is 2400mm long, & it has a 32mm shaft diameter, made up of high-grade alloy steel and snap ring construction. This gives it a tensile strength rating of 200K PSI and 200lbs of maximum load catering well to your heavy training sessions with a bar of high stiffness and ultra-stability.

Weight: The weight of a barbell is a function of the materials from which it’s composed. The weight will impact how easily it can move as well as durability and strength. Most bars weigh 20kg (44lbs). Dumbbells present their own unique challenges by engaging your muscles separately. They require the use of your small stabilising muscles. Olympic weights are larger than standard weights and have a 2" diameter hole in the centre of the weight plate. Olympic weight plates come in the following sizes: 1.25kg, 2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, 25kg 50kg. Olympic weights are better suited for intermediate/advanced strength trainers who are lifting heavier weights than the novice/beginner lifter. Olympic barbells are also stronger than standard barbells with a maximum weight load up to 750kg! Cast Iron Weights Multipurpose barbells have medium flex, so they are strong and sturdy when needed yet can also accommodate some more dynamic exercises like snatches. They also have bushings for the sleeves that allow them to work well for both fast and slow lifts. On top of that, they usually have double grip markings, meaning they will have the powerlifting grip markings and the Olympic bar grip markings. This is the easiest way to spot a multipurpose barbell - it will have double rings on both sides of the handles. Squat Barbell:Home use barbells, on the other hand, are designed for occasional or light use in a home gym setting. They are typically made from lower-grade materials such as plain steel, and are not built to withstand the same level of wear and tear as commercial barbells. They are also generally rated for a lower weight capacity, usually ranging from 130kg to 340 kg. Knurling: The knurling on standard bars is similar to true weightlifting bars and is mildly aggressive. Below we will take a closer look at the above barbell types and summarize their features and uses. You can read this for a very in-depth look at different types of barbells, materials, applications, and so on. We also highly recommend reading our article on the 12 Types Of Weightlifting Bars for more information. Weight Plates and Barbells, whether that's the Olympic, Standard or Studio variety, are favoured by the most experienced bodybuilders and weightlifters throughout the world over weight machines (such as Multi Gyms or Cable Machines). This is because weight machines are more restrictive. Whilst weight machines are still an important part of any strength training routine, they do not offer the same benefits as free weights.
