5 ft Olympic Bar

5ft Olympic bar built as a compact alternative to a full-length barbell for strength training in home gyms, studios and commercial fitness spaces. At approximately 12kg, it is easier to handle where floor space is limited while still providing the familiar feel of an Olympic-style bar.

The bar has a 28mm grip diameter and a stated maximum loading capacity of 150kg. There is no centre knurling, which makes the shaft more comfortable for exercises where the bar may contact the body or clothing. The shorter 5ft format can work well for presses, rows, curls, lunges and controlled lower-body strength work when a 7ft bar is unnecessary.

This 5ft Olympic bar is a useful choice for smaller training areas and for users who want a more manageable bar without moving to a lightweight studio bar. Pair the 5ft Olympic bar with suitable Olympic weight plates and collars for a compact free-weight setup. Always load within the stated capacity and use appropriate flooring and rack supports for the exercise being performed.
