5 Ft Olympic Barbell
A compact Olympic barbell built for training in smaller spaces and group fitness environments. At 150cm, it's an excellent short bar for home gyms, studio classes, and lighter-load training where a full-length 7ft bar isn't practical.
Constructed with a chromed finish and medium-depth diamond knurling for a secure, comfortable grip. The 50mm rotating sleeves allow weight plates to spin independently of the shaft, reducing wrist pressure and providing a smoother lifting experience throughout each movement. Commercially rated and built to last.
Please note: At 150cm in length, this bar is not compatible with standard power racks or Olympic benches. Best suited to free-weight training and compact gym setups.
