6ft Olympic Training Barbell - 8kg

For practicing and perfecting your lifting technique, this 6ft Olympic Training Barbell is the ideal choice. Weighing in at only 8kg (yet capable of loading up to 90kg) it is a must for every training facility. At 128cm long, it features an attractive pink oxide shaft, chrome sleeves and brass brushing. The HCE Aluminium Technique Barbell often referred to as “Alumlite Bar”, is a tool for training correct Olympic lifting technique. The shaft is manufactured from high-grade aluminium knurled just the same as our training and competition barbells - light, flat, narrow, and not too sharp. It’s easy to get it wrong with such an easily corruptible material. Contrary to popular understanding, aluminium is a very hard material despite it being light and brittle. The benefit is in the weight and not its strength. Aluminium can fracture if repeatedly dropped or flexed at a too great angle. We advise no more than 50kg on each sleeve, and to use it only for technique work. Make sure to lower the bar slowly.
