Training Chrome Olympic Barbell - 220CM/20KG

The main difference between the three models lies in the level of finishing, load capacity and overall robustness.

Training : This is our entry-level model, ideal for beginners and those looking for a reliable barbell without breaking the bank. It has a basic finish, supports a moderate maximum load, and features a limited number of bearings.

Pros : Designed for intermediate users, it offers greater sturdiness, a better finish, and a higher maximum weight. It also includes a higher number of bearings for smoother rotation. It's the best value for money.

Elite : The perfect choice for advanced or professional athletes. This barbell is made of the highest quality materials, has the highest level of finish, supports the highest maximum load and is extremely robust thanks to a higher KSI value and a greater number of bearings.

Each model is designed to meet specific needs, always ensuring quality and reliability.

The main difference between men's and women's barbells is size, weight, and specifications, designed to suit different usage needs.

Length : Men's barbells are generally longer, 2200 mm, while women's are shorter, 2000 mm.

Weight : The men's barbell weighs 20kg, while the women's barbell weighs 15kg.

Diameter : The men's barbell has a diameter of 28mm, while the women's barbell is thinner, with a diameter of 25mm.

Unlike many other finishes applied to the outer surface of steel, this barbell is treated through a multi-stage chemical process that improves both its wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

The process hardens the steel exterior, making it extra strong and leaving a beautiful, shiny finish. The barbell will be more resistant to corrosion than other finishes and won't wear as easily.

Bushings are made of self-lubricating materials, such as bronze or special alloys, and allow smooth rotation without the use of complex moving parts. They are highly wear-resistant and require little maintenance, making them perfect for intensive use in environments like commercial gyms.

Bearings use balls or needles inside a metal cage to reduce friction and allow for extremely fast and smooth rotation. They are essential for dynamic exercises like snatches and turns like clean and jerks, where the barbell must rotate quickly. They require periodic maintenance and can be more susceptible to wear with intensive and prolonged use.

When the barbell arrives at your home, you may notice a light coating of oil on the shaft and sleeves. This protects the steel from moisture and weather during transport.

You can remove it with a microfiber cloth and a gentle, chemical-free cleaner, or simply let it absorb after a few uses.

Decorative chrome is not a bar of chrome, but a layer of chrome applied over another metal (usually steel or nickel) to give a shiny appearance and additional protection.

Hard chrome , on the other hand, is still a coating, but the layer is much thicker and more resistant, designed to protect against wear, scratches and corrosion, not just for aesthetics.

The knurling style indicates the characteristic pattern that is applied to a particular barbell, and serves to improve the grip during training.

Our barbells offer different types of knurling: hill , volcano and mountain .

The hill is a lighter style, non-abrasive on the hands, and ideal for training barbells. Perfect for those training with moderate loads or for long sessions where comfort is a priority.

The Volcano is an intermediate style, very common on weightlifting barbells and ideal for mixed use. It provides excellent grip without being overly abrasive and perfectly balances grip and comfort, making it the most versatile choice.

The mountain style is the most aggressive, designed for powerlifting barbells. It offers the most secure grip for lifting heavy or extreme loads and is ideal for those seeking maximum control during exercises.

Our barbells are designed to be compatible with all standard plates with 2 inch (50 mm) diameter center holes.

This barbell is designed to last for many years with relatively minimal maintenance. Simply apply our spray-on deoxidizer every 2-4 weeks. Its excellent water-repellent properties help repel moisture from treated surfaces and provide long-lasting protection.

To clean dirt or chalk from the knurling, you can use a common soft-bristled brush and then apply our lubricant.
