Description

Snatch, clean and jerk – every training day

The Weightlifting Training Bar is built for everyone who trains weightlifting seriously – in the box or in a home gym. The spring steel works with you: on the snatch and the clean you get the extra bounce you can carry out of the pull. The knurling still grips when your hands are wet and the weight is right at your limit. The IWF marks in the steel give you your grip width without measuring anything.

One honest note on that: the knurling is stronger than on an all-round barbell. For weightlifting with few, heavy reps that's exactly right. If your training is WODs with lots of reps back to back, reach for the Multisports Bar instead.

Built to IWF dimensions, without paying for the certificate

220 cm long, 131 cm of grip area, 28 mm grip diameter, exactly 20 kg – manufactured to IWF specifications, with the weight tolerances met. The bar doesn't carry a certificate, and that's precisely what makes it interesting for everyday training: the dimensions of a competition bar, the same weight tolerances – without the surcharge for the stamp. At competitions that don't require certified equipment, it runs regularly.

The spring steel is silver chrome plated, and the 50 mm sleeves take any Olympic plate. We run the Training Bar in our own box – in the weightlifting class it goes through a lot of hands every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Training Bar carry an IWF certificate?
No – it's built to IWF specifications. Dimensions, markings and weight tolerances follow the spec, the certificate itself isn't there. That's why it's regularly used at competitions that don't require certified equipment – and in training the missing certificate changes nothing.
Where's the difference to the Competition Bar?
In two points. First the knurling: the Competition Bar bites more aggressively and is built for single maximum attempts. The Training Bar is tuned for everyday training, where a lot more reps add up – and there you do not want knurling that shreds your hands after thirty cleans. Second the rotation: the sleeves on the Training Bar spin a little less freely than those on the Competition Bar. For training that is perfectly sufficient. The difference only starts to matter where it is about the absolute maximum attempt and every gram counts.
Is the bar any good for CrossFit?
For the Olympic part of a workout, yes. As soon as high reps back to back come into play, the knurling becomes a topic for your hands. That's when the Multisports Bar is the better partner.
How much weight does it take?
Unless you're going after the world record in the clean: more than you'll put on it. The spring steel shrugs off hard drops from the platform too – box life and home gym are no issue for it.
Will my plates fit?
Yes, as long as they have a 50 mm bore. That's the Olympic standard – bumper plates, competition plates or metal plates all fit.
When is the 15 kg version the better choice?
As soon as the 28 mm grip gets too thick for your hand. The Weightlifting Training Bar 15 kg measures 25 mm and is a bit shorter – that suits smaller hands, juniors and lighter athletes.

Customer reviews

The Training Bar is the barbell for our weightlifting classes. Snatch, clean, jerk – every day, for years. The dimensions are the ones you also grip at a meet – and in training you never need the certificate anyway. If you train weightlifting and don't have to step onto a platform that demands certified equipment, this is exactly the right bar.
