This is very important on fast, explosive movements such as the Power Clean, Clean & Jerks, Snatches, etc., where you need the bar to rotate quickly. It is also helpful on exercises where your grip needs to rotate slightly like the Squat or Deadlift. Olympic Bars are compatible with commercial  equipment, for example, Olympic width benches, power racks, etc. Olympic Bars are 7 feet long, made with shafts of “52” inches in length. These dimensions are critical to fit perfectly on weight training equipment. Standard Bars are only 5 or 6 feet long and will not fit. Using an Olympic bar will allow you to benefit from Olympic Plates. What makes Olympic plates and bars so good? Olympic Weights are made with a far greater degree of accuracy than Standard Weights. While it may seem silly to worry about small inaccuracies in plates, unbalanced loading of a bar can not only throw-off the accuracy of your record keeping, but can also throw-off your max or near max lifts, due to uneven loading of the bar, or potential injury. Olympic plates now come in a variety of options, for example rubber or urethane coated plates can prevent rust, noise and chipping. Olympic Bumper Plates are made with solid rubber, all the same diameter, so they can be dropped from considerable height, without causing damage to flooring. Grip plates are made with built-in handles for easier and safer movement.
