Olympic Bars
An Olympic bar forms the base of most performance gyms. These barbells are similar to standard bars apart from being slightly stronger and having a sleeve diameter which is larger, allowing them to hold more weight. The revolving ends on an Olympic Bar known as ‘sleeves’ allows weight plates to spin, which reduces the risk of injury during Olympic lifts, with the knurled handles improving grip and comfort during workouts. The most common Olympic Bar typically weigh 20kg and is usually the most popular choice in all gyms. We offer differing styles of 20kg bar including Competition Bars, Powerlifting Bars and Cross Training Bars to suit a variety of training styles.
15kg bars are also available as Weightlifting Bars and Cross Training Bars. Usually, you will find 15kg bars in female IWF competitions due to the rules of the sport, although they are not just for women! 15kg bars can be a great choice for individuals who want to try Olympic Lifting so that a smaller load can be lifted, because let’s be honest… lifting weight above your head can be scary! In addition to this we have a 10kg Technique Bar which is designed to allow users to practice their form and correct their technique before progressing onto a heavier Olympic Bar.
We also offer a selection of utility bars, which can take your training to the next level. These specific bars allow users to train in less conventional ways, which allows different muscle groups to be used. Utility bars have risen in popularity of late, due to the increased interest in Strongman training styles in a commercial gym setting. Don’t forget your Olympic Bar Accessories , including collars and clamps to keep your weight plates safely on the bar. Barbell Storage is also paramount to keeping your gym floor tidy.
