Frequently Asked Questions About Olympic Bars
What is the difference between a standard barbell and an Olympic bar?

How much does an Olympic barbell weigh?
A standard Olympic Barbell typically weighs 20 kg (44 lbs) for men and 15 kg (33 lbs) for women. However, specialised bars like the ones used for powerlifting or training may vary in weight.
What is the length of an Olympic bar?
The length of a Olympic Weightlifting Bar is usually around 2.2 metres (7.2 feet) for men and 2.01 metres (6.6 feet) for women.
Do I need a special rack for my Olympic bar?
While you don't need a special rack, it's advisable to use an Olympic Barbell rack or stand that can support the bar's weight and accommodate its length and diameter.
