Constructed to help push your limits. Our heavy-duty barbells are excellent choices for strength training and lifting heavier weights with confidence. They are built to perform under intense pressure and work well for athletes looking to build muscle and enhance their explosive strength and overall power.

Women’s Barbells

Several of our Olympic barbells are available with slightly shorter and lighter designs, making them more comfortable and accessible for female athletes. This selection includes a 7ft women’s Olympic regulation barbell. Weighing 15kg instead of 20kg, this IWF-compatible design helps lifters focus on supporting their load rather than the weight of their bar. 

Our women’s Olympic bars are built to deliver the same benefits and performance as standard barbells. They are ideal for those looking to lift heavy with precision thanks to their reduced weight and enhanced control. Their precision makes squats and clean and jerks more comfortable to execute.
