Which barbell is right for you?
Start with what you'll lift. Olympic lifts and heavy squats need a 20 kg bar with needle bearings. Curls and lighter work are easier with a shorter bar.

How to choose a barbell
- Bar weight and lengthA full Olympic weightlifting bar weighs 20 kg. Shorter bars such as the 11 kg EZ bar and the 12 kg, 152 cm straight bar suit curls, lighter lifts and smaller rooms.
- Max loadPick a bar rated well above the heaviest load you'll lift. The Powercore 8.0 bar is rated to 680 kg, the 4.0 bar to 320 kg and the 152 cm bar to 150 kg.
- BearingsNeedle bearings help the sleeves turn smoothly under load, which matters in cleans and snatches. The 8.0 bar has 8 and the 4.0 bar has 4.
- DroppingThe 4.0 bar is not made for dropping. Never drop an empty bar, and only drop a loaded bar onto impact-resistant flooring.
- PlatesThese bars take Olympic plates. Standard plates do not fit the 152 cm bar, and the EZ bar takes 50 mm Olympic plates only.
