The 7ft Olympic Barbell features revolving ends, also known as “Sleeves,” designed to reduce or eliminate torque on the bar. This is crucial for fast, explosive movements like the Power Clean, Clean & Jerks, Snatches, and more, where quick bar rotation is essential. It is also beneficial for exercises like the Squat or Deadlift where a slight grip rotation is necessary.

Olympic Bars are compatible with commercial equipment, such as Olympic-width benches and power racks. Measuring 7 feet in length with a 52-inch shaft, these dimensions are vital for a perfect fit on weight training equipment. In contrast, standard bars, which are only 5 or 6 feet long, will not fit.

Using an Olympic bar allows you to utilize Olympic Plates, which offer several advantages. Olympic Weights are manufactured with greater accuracy than standard weights, minimizing the risk of unbalanced loading. This ensures precise record-keeping and reduces the risk of injury from uneven weights.

Olympic plates come in various options, including rubber or urethane coated plates, which prevent rust, noise, and chipping. Olympic Bumper Plates are made of solid rubber, all the same diameter, allowing them to be safely dropped from considerable heights without damaging the floor. Grip plates feature built-in handles for easier and safer movement.
