Barbells

A barbell is the piece of equipment a gym is judged on fastest. Knurl, spin and finish are what a lifter notices in the first rep, and they are the difference between a bar that stays on the floor for a decade and one that is replaced in two years.

The range covers Olympic bars for general floors, powerlifting bars for strength clubs, and the specialty bars — trap, safety squat, EZ curl — that a well-equipped floor keeps in ones and twos. Fixed barbells are here as complete ranges in both rubber and urethane, so a club can buy a full set that racks together and matches.

Fixed bar sets need their storage planned at the same time. The racks are under Equipment Storage, and a set ordered without one ends up on the floor.
