Bar & Weight Sets

Any Bar and Weight Set will include at least one Barbell or Specialty Bar and a set of compatible weight plates.

In addition to those basics, our Bar and Weight Sets also include some basic accessories to get your fitness journey started.

All of our Bar & Weight Sets include everything you need to crush your weightlifting and fitness goals. Each set includes one or two olympic barbell or specialty bars, just the right amount of weights, and some quality accessories to get you started right.

All sets include enough sturdy bar collars for all of the bar/s and weights in the set. The Barbell and Trap Bar sets also include a pair of cotton lifting straps to help with your heavier pull movements.

Sets include different bar collar variants and the image for the selected set will always show the exact items that your Bar & Weight Set includes.

Reaching your strength and body goals is straightforward - lift weights and slowly but surely your body will transform and you'll be able to lift more.

But getting the equipment and the space ready is time consuming and costly.

By choosing a Bar & Weight Set from Barbell Standard you get gym-quality professional equipment with top-tier quality guarantees for a value that can't be beat. You can be sure that you have what you need to safely and confidently reach your goals with our compatible, convenient, and cost-effective Bar & Weight Sets.

It all depends on your goals and your current strength and skill level. Some beginners might have never touched a bar and weigh in under 140 pounds - in this case our Loadable Dumbbells with 70 pounds of weights might be the right first set.

Another beginners might have experience in the gym and/or weigh a couple hundred pounds with goals of getting even bigger. For them we might suggest one of our Barbell 1500 or Barbell 2000 sets with 180 or 250 pounds of weight plates.

Start by picking the right bar for you and deciding how much weight you need. From there you will easily find a Bar and Weight Set that's right for you, no matter which stage of the fitness journey you're at right now.

Nearly all commercial gyms and fitness centers use Olympic barbells, because they are more durable and allow you to lift more weight than regular bars. Standard barbells have 1" sleeve and tend to be shorter and lighter than Olympic Barbells.

Beginners, people planning to lift light, or anyone working with limited space and needing a bar with accessibility will find a perfect solution in the 6.5 foot 35 pound Olympic Barbell 1000.

Pros - Nothing can beat a barbell to deliver maximum resistance to your muscles, which can be beneficial for building both strength and muscle mass. Demands increased core engagement and stabillity compared to dumbells, increasing whole-body benefits.

Cons - Compared to dumbbells, barbells are much longer and heavier, are designed only for exercises like bench press and deadlifts that involve both hands, and they require more space and investment.

Verdict - A pair of loadable dumbbells and weights is a great starting point if you're unsure about taking the next step, but to replicate the gym experience there's no way around adding an olympic barbell to your setup.
