Overview
Not a full length bar, this is the shorter Olympic bar that fits a compact rack or a small garage. Plates slide onto sleeves with a standard center hole, and a knurled grip holds the hands.
The reason to consider it is the shorter length with a standard Olympic sleeve, which suits smaller training spaces. The limitation is a moderate load rating and a short warranty.
Who it's for
Home lifters in a small room or a rack with limited width can use it for presses, curls and light pulls. Heavy squatters and deadlifters should look for a bar with a higher listed load rating.
Pros and cons
- Short length for small spaces
- Standard Olympic sleeve size
- Alloy steel construction
- Lower load rating
- Sleeve length unit looks wrong
- Warranty is only thirty days
Performance notes
Plates load onto the sleeves at each end, and the shaft thickness and alloy steel set how far the bar bends under weight. Knurling adds friction for the hands on pulls and presses. A shorter shaft means a narrower plate loading area, so check plate count against the sleeve.
