Here’s what you can expect from our Olympic barbell range.
5ft, 6ft and 7ft Barbells
Suitable for a variety of weightlifters, our Olympic barbell selection ranges in length from 5ft to 7ft. Made from solid steel, our 7ft Olympic barbell is 20kg, while our 5ft barbell and 6ft Olympic barbell options weigh 8kg and 12.5kg, respectively. These lighter bars are ideal if you’re a beginner weightlifter still perfecting your form.
Black Zinc Barbells
Need a durable cross-training barbell for your home or commercial gym? We offer several black zinc barbells that are designed for high-rep workouts. This unique zinc coating provides increased protection from corrosion and results in a sleek, professional look.
CrossFit Barbells
Ideal for CrossFit enthusiasts, we stock a selection of barbells that are designed for powerful and explosive lifts. These bars feature a robust cerakote finish and are manufactured without centre knurling for increased comfort during high-rep workouts.
Heavy-Duty Barbells
As a powerlifter, you can find your perfect match within our range of heavy-duty barbells. Alongside their impressive 908kg weight-bearing capacities, these bars boast extra-long sleeves to accommodate more weight plates.
Women’s Barbells
Several of our Olympic barbells are available with slightly shorter and lighter designs. This selection includes a 7ft women’s Olympic regulation barbell. Weighing 15kg instead of 20kg, this IWF-compatible design helps lifters focus on supporting their load rather than the weight of their bar.
