Heavy-Duty Standard Bar for use with standard weight plates.
If you're after a barbell for your "standard" weights then we'd ALWAYS suggest going for this "smooth end" bar with a pair of spring clips.
This Bar is 203cm Heavy Duty "standard" bar (with a 150kg maximum suggested static load) is the toughest standard bar we've found over the last 20+ years and it remains our go-to bar for anyone wanting upgrade their standard weight set without having to go to the expense of buying new Olympic weight plates and a more capable bar.
The main bar is a 27.5mm thick and the ends are then turned down to 25.5mm giving it a much greater loading capacity than regular (cheaper) 25mm bars.
The bar it's self is 203cm long giving a slightly shorter loading ends than a full-sized Olympic 7' bar, mainly because the bar is still a domestic grade bar made from "regular" grade steel with a lower tensile strength than a high-grade 28mm Olympic bar.
The fixed inner collars are the same width, allowing for use in olympic benches and racks.
Knurling is "mild" as is to be expected on a domestic bar but if you need extra grip then our liquid chalk can provide a nice (and clean" tack to your grip.
Something else to consider, if performing explosive lifts (clean and press, half cleans etc) as part of your weight training routine you should look at the benefit of the free-revolving ends and generally much higher loading capacity featured on most olympic bars
