Frequently Asked Questions
What type of barbell should I use for home workouts?
For home workouts, a standard barbell or Olympic barbell is a great choice depending on your goals and available space. Olympic barbells are more durable and better suited for heavy lifting and compound movements, while standard barbells are typically lighter and more compact, making them ideal for beginners or those with limited space.
How much weight can a barbell hold?
The weight capacity of a barbell depends on its type and build quality. Standard barbells can usually handle up to 100–150kg, while Olympic barbells are designed to hold upwards of 300kg, with some rated for even more. Always check the manufacturer’s specifications before loading your bar.
What is the difference between an Olympic barbell and a standard barbell?
An Olympic barbell typically weighs 20kg and features rotating sleeves and a 2-inch diameter sleeve to fit Olympic weight plates. It is designed for durability and heavy lifting. A standard barbell usually weighs less (around 6–10kg), has a 1-inch diameter sleeve, and is more suitable for light to moderate weight training at home.
Do I need a lifting belt when using barbells?
A lifting belt isn’t required for all exercises, but it can provide added support for your lower back during heavy lifts like deadlifts and squats. It helps stabilise the core and can reduce the risk of injury during intense strength training. Explore options in our weight lifting belts collection if you're lifting heavy or looking for extra support.
