Collection: Barbells & Weightlifting Bars

Barbells and weightlifting bars are the core of the weight room. We stock bars designed to handle the heavy training loads of a high-level athlete. Whether you are perfecting your clean and jerk or grinding out a squat session, a reliable Olympic bar is a key investment for your gym.

Choosing a bar

• Multi-purpose bars with medium knurling.
• Power bars that are stiff with aggressive knurling.
• Technique and women's bars that are lighter with a smaller diameter.

What one bar does

Because compound movements build full-body strength, a quality bar loads the body heavily and safely. In addition, cleans and snatches develop power to beat defenders. For example, heavy deadlifts and squats build the posterior chain for ground ball battles. As a result, one bar unlocks hundreds of exercises, from overhead presses to rows.
