Which barbell is the best one for me?

Best Barbells for Bench, Deadlift, and Squats

Best All-Purpose Barbells

  • 180k-200k PSI tensile strength and moderate whip
  • Lighter knurling. Bushings and needle bearings
  • See our Barbell 1500

Best Beginner and Lighter Weight Barbells

  • 160k-180k PSI tensile strength and moderate whip
  • Light knurling. Bushings and bearings
  • See our Barbell 1000

Barbell tensile strength - Here's what you need to know

Yield and tensile strength both refer to the maximum load a barbell can support.

Yield strength measures the maximum stress a barbell can sustain before it will permanently bend. Tensile strength is the maximum stress a barbell can handle before it breaks. Tensile is always larger than Yield - steel will deform before it snaps.

Quality barbells will have 160,000 PSI tensile strength or higher, and all Barbell Standard barbells fit the bill.

Barbell Sleeves - Here's what you need to know

Barbell sleeves are attached to the ends of the main barbell shaft where the weights are loaded. Quality barbell sleeves include bushings, bearings, or both between the bar and the sleeves to keep the rotation smooth and consistent. Without bushings or bearings, the barbell sleeves will grind on the shaft leading to an inconsistent spin.

Bronze bushings provide a slow, steady, and reliable spin for heavier and slower lifts like squat and bench press. They are typically preferred in a powerlifting barbells, like our Powerlifting Barbell 2000 which are equipped with self lubricating bronze bushings to provide a slow and reliable spin for years to come.

Needles bearing are often preferred for olympic barbell lifting routines because they provide a quicker and more responsive spin for these explosive and technical lifts. Our Olympic Barbell 1500 is equipped with both needle bearings and bronze bushings to deliver an exceptional lifting experience, while our and Compact Barbell 1000 comes with integrated needle bearings.

What is tensile strength for a weightlifting barbell?

Barbell tensile strength is a measure of the load/pressure a material can bear before it breaks. Typically reported as Pounds per square inch (PSI), quality barbell tensile strength starts around 150,000 PSI and most top out around 220,000 PSI.

Barbell whip - Here's what you need to know

Whip measures how much and how easily a barbell can flex without permanently bending. The more whip a bar has the more the bar will flex with momentum. Many factors influence how much whip a bar has, but the main factors are the material a barbell is made with and the diameter of the bar.

Stiffer barbells with less whip, like our Powerlifting Barbell 2000, are typically preferred for the core lifts that are most common exercises for home gym lifters, like bench, deadlines, squats, etc.

More whip is typically preferred for lifters that plan to focus on the highly technical explosive Olympic lifts like clean and jerk, power cleans, and snatches. Our Olympic Barbell 1500 is an example a higher whip barbell.

Barbell knurl - Here's what you need to know

Barbell knurl is a cross-hatched textured applied to a barbell in the area a lifter grips the bar. Knurl is used to create more grip between your hands and the bar.

The most aggressive knurling is applied to deadlift bars, where the chance of losing grip of the bar is highest - we include a pair of lifting straps with every barbell as an alternative means of maintaining your grip without shredding your hands.

Knurl marks, or knurl rings, are thin knurl-free rings on the knurled section of a barbell. Knurl marks are typically placed at standardized distances from the middle of the bar based on Olympic lifting and Powerlifting standards.

Knurl in the very middle of the bar is typically reserved for powerlifting bars to increase grip between your neck and the barbell for squats.

What types of barbells are there?

2" Olympic Men's Barbells are the most common type of barbell in most gyms and commercial facilities

  • These barbells weigh 20kg (44 pounds) and measure 2.2 meters in length (about 86.6 inches, or 7'2.6")
  • 28-29mm grip diameter (1.1" to 1.14")
  • These are commonly referred to as "45 pound barbells" and "7 foot barbells"

2" Women's Barbells are another common barbell option found in home and commercial gyms. These barbells have most of the same specs as the Men's barbells but weigh less and are slightly shorter:

  • These weigh 15kg (33lbs) and measure 2.01 meters in length (about 79.1 inches, or 6' 7.1")
  • 25-28mm grip diameter (0.98" to 1.1")
  • Commonly referred to as a "6 foot barbell" or a "35 pound barbell"

Youth barbells are the least common, weighing 10kg (22 pounds) and measuring 1.7 meters in length (66.9", or 5'6.9").

What is the best all-purpose barbell?

An all-purpose barbell is one that can perform all of the lifts you might want to do, from heavy benches and squats to more explosive olympic lifts like cleans and snatches.

The ideal all-purpose barbell will be 180k-200k PSI tensile strength with a light to medium knurl, have dual powerlifting and olympic knurl marks, include bearings and bushings in the sleeves for consistent and smooth spin, and it should have a moderate amount of whip.

Our Barbell 1500 is designed with this exact use case in mind, built to grow with you as you set new personal records and as your routine evolves.

    Olympic barbell 1500

    I decided on the 1500 because of the description I saw on the page. Now that I have it, I understand that it was the best decision I made. It has a very good chrome finish. I really liked the bearings. The weight feels very good and very firm. The loading sleeves are ideal for handling all the weights I have. I am delighted with this barbell.
