Barbells
We pride ourselves on having a diverse collection of barbells that are durable, affordable and incredibly versatile. Our value-for-money barbell range is designed to accommodate all kinds of workouts and fitness levels. We supply barbells with varying weight, length, and width specifications, so you can easily find a barbell compatible with your experience and current lifting gear.
Women's Range
At Factory Weights, we offer barbells specifically designed for women or beginners. These barbells are simply lighter and shorter than standard barbells. Our women's range has a barbell weight of 15kg rather than the standard 20kg. With a women's barbell, you won't be struggling under the weight of the bar itself when just starting out. This will increase your safety, prevent injuries and allow you to focus on lifting with good form. If you're a female athlete who'd like to train with the same bar you'll be using in Official IWF Competitions, this is the bar for you.
Olympic Range
An Olympic power bar is often more durable and robust than standard barbells. They can support heavier loads, which is why they are more commonly used in commercial gyms and in competitions. Olympic bars are suitable for a variety of weightlifting movements. We stock 5ft, 6ft and 7ft Olympic barbells. Longer bars are designed for more experienced lifters who want to add extra plates to the bar.
Bars
We have a broad selection of sturdy and long-lasting bars. These weightlifting bars come in several weight options and have diverse knurling styles to suit the preferences of every strength trainer. Many of our bars are multi-functional, meaning you can use them for many different exercises. We also offer specialised bars that are designed to help you target smaller muscle groups during your training sessions.
Along with our straight barbells, you can find the following types of bars in our range:
Barbell Accessories
We offer several types of collars to secure the weight plates and prevent them from slipping off the end of your barbells. Our range includes spring collars, quick-lock collars, and magnetic collars.
We also stock barbell pads that reduce the pressure of the barbell and weights on your neck, shoulders, and hips during your weight training. Barbell pads allow you to lift heavier, protect your skin from bruising, and increase your overall comfort during a workout.
Barbell Storage
Storing your barbells properly will keep your gym space organised and your barbells in good nick. We offer a range of compact and sturdy storage solutions for barbells, including both storage stands and cross storage bases. These storage solutions make use of vertical space, saving you valuable floor space for your workout.

FAQs
What kind of exercises can I do with a barbell?
Barbells are extremely versatile and can function as powerlifting equipment, CrossFit equipment, and functional fitness equipment. Weight bars also open up a variety of workout options for you. When using a bar with weights, you can choose to target a specific muscle group or focus on full-body movements.
Some particularly popular barbell workouts include:
-
Squats: Squats increase the strength of your quads, hamstrings, glutes and core.
-
Bench presses: This exercise works your chest, shoulders and triceps.
-
Deadlifts: Deadlifts engage your legs, core, and back muscles.
-
Barbell curls and reverse curls: These train your biceps and forearms.
What should I consider when buying barbells?
When purchasing barbells or other types of weightlifting bars, it's essential to think about your favourite workout styles and your fitness goals. For example, if you want to focus on CrossFit exercises, a cross-training barbell is a good choice. If you're an experienced powerlifter, consider a 7ft power barbell that has a higher maximum weight capacity and space to add more weight plates.
With such a wide variety, we're sure to have a barbell that will suit your every need. Our range includes robust commercial barbells that can withstand heavy use, compact barbells for at-home workouts, and competition-grade barbells that are perfect for professional training.
