SMAI - Barbell (Bearing) - 15kg

In Olympic Weightlifting competitions, women use a different barbell to the men. The key differences are the length and weight of the bar as well as featuring a narrower grip section. This is to allow women, who generally have smaller hands, to reduce injury as it allows them to grip the bar more easily. The women’s bar also doesn’t have a centre knurl, which provides less grazing on the hands or even on the skin when performing exercises such as training cleans.

The SMAI Female Bearing Barbell has been manufactured from alloy steel, giving the bar a maximum 680kg rating. This allows for great whip with each sleeve having two needle bearings plus a brass bushing to ensure a smooth rotation. This ensures your weights move independently of the bar, increasing grip and allowing the bar to rotate smoothly as you move through exercises. Finished in a hardened chrome, the barbell is rust resistant and maintenance free.

The collar is fitted with a unique nut-and-pin locking system that ensure the sleeves are secure without play. With grooved sleeves to stop the plates slipping and manufactured in a single piece design, the bar has both IWF Olympic and Powerlifting markings on the shaft.
