Olympic Bars

A barbell is a piece of exercise equipment used in weight training, weightlifting and powerlifting. It consists of a metal bar that is anywhere between 5 to 7 feet (2.1 m). The central portion varies in diameter, but is close to one inch (2.54 cm), and is engraved with a knurled crosshatch pattern to help lifters get a good grip. Disc weights (plates) are slid onto the outer portions of the barbell to obtain the desired total weight. These weights are often secured with collars to prevent them from sliding off during the exercise (which can result in injuries) .

It is up to you which length of bar you choose, whether it’s a 5ft, 6ft or a 7ft Olympic Bar – it all depends on how much training space you have available. 6ft bars tend to be the most popular choice. If you are a beginner to CrossFit / Olympic Bar lifting, then we highly recommend that you start out using a 6ft lightweight aluminium bar.
