What weight barbell should I start with?

Most beginners should start with a 20kg (45lbs) mens bar. Women and smaller individuals may prefer 15kg (33lbs) womens bars.

How long do barbells last?

Quality barbells can last 10-20+ years with proper care. Budget bars may need replacement every 5-10 years.

Bearings provide smoother spin for Olympic lifts. Bushings offer durability and are better for powerlifting.

Choose Olympic for weightlifting/CrossFit. Choose power bar for squats, bench, and deadlifts at heavy weights.

IPF approval means the bar meets competition standards for powerlifting including knurl pattern, tensile strength, and dimensions.
