Product Information

Squatting is a movement that requires a longer and more rigid than normal barbell. Olympic bars are suitable for squatting, but new bars have emerged that are more suitable for the squat. Let’s summarize what we’ve discussed. There are several types of straight barbells - standard barbell, Olympic, powerlifting, deadlift, squat, and women’s sized barbells. Knurling: Squat bars have moderately aggressive center knurling between 4”-6” for grip across the shoulders 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. 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

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. Whatever your preference of routine and exercise, always remember to take note of your technique and listen to your body. Women’s: Modeled after Olympic-style bars, these are shorter than men’s bars (6.5’), have a thinner shaft (25mm), and are lighter (15kg). 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. A curved barbell, more commonly known as a curl bar, is traditionally used for exercises that work smaller muscle groups such as your biceps and triceps. Dumbbell sets are also perfect for working these smaller muscles. A straight barbell, on the other hand, is best for larger muscles like the chest and legs. BARBELLS FOR SALE

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 6ft barbell is a shorter version of the 7ft barbell. It’s also lighter, weighing usually 15kg. They are typically used for exercises that require a smaller range of motion, such as biceps curls and triceps extensions. It is the ideal barbell for home gyms or for people who have limited space. The sleeves on each end are usually shorter as well, which means that you can't load as much weight on the bar. 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.

Barbells are a very popular form of weight training equipment. Professional bodybuilders to fitness enthusiasts in gyms, fitness classes and at home use barbells with weight plates to support their strength training goals, whether that be to build muscle or generally tone. Used with weight plates, barbells are highly effective in building your strength as they require you to utilise your stabilising muscles to lift the weights, rather than rely on weight machines, which can also be restrictive. You have to use your own power. Training with barbells also provides you with more natural movement so you can perform a wider range of exercises. Additionally, barbells are far more space efficient than weight machines, making them very handy for using at home. Standard Barbells A 6ft barbell is a shorter version of the 7ft barbell.
