For those who aren't totally familiar with weightlifting: this is not a full length bar, like the ones you would see in a commercial gym used to bench press/squat/deadlift. Those are 7ft long and weigh 20 kilos or 45 lbs, depending on their usage and region.

6 ft bars weigh less (usually 25-35 lbs, rather than 45lbs) and are used for ancillary exercises. A true women's Olympic bar (the bars used in Olympic competitions for females) are 6ft 6" and weigh 15 kilos. The weight limit on this bar (300lbs) is quite low by lifting standards, which reinforces the fact that it's not meant for heavy lifting. That's not a bad thing, but don't buy this bar and try to use it to bench or squat: it almost certainly won't sit safely in a traditional rack, because the collars won't extend out far enough.

Glad I could help! Just note that this is a "standard" barbell, which refers to the size of the collars (which corresponds to the hole in the middle of the weights), so you need to make sure you have "standard" sized weights to load onto the bar. "Standard" bars also don't typically have rotating collars, whereas "Olympic" bars do (but not always), and the rotating collar is essential to prevent the bar itself from rotating during dynamic lifts (and tearing up your hands/injuring your forearms).

This bar is much more suited to things like standing lunges, bicep curls, skullcrushers, and the like--basically movements where the bar does not need to be racked and is not subject to dynamic movement.

This is not an Olympic bar with 2" collars. It's a standard bar with 1" collars.

I'm debating getting this to make a pull up bar out of. It's cheaper than a lot of pieces of pipe from hardware stores.

This is exactly what I need. I'm a petite woman and I have a regular 45 lb barbell but would like something lighter for cleans or anything where I'm picking it up from the ground. For some reason, training barbells/technique bars are so pricy. I dont need it to be long since it won't be racked. Thanks!

In for one. I've been using a3.5#, 6' "walking" stick on my shoulders to rotate back and forth as a core exercise. It's better than nothing, but I now get bored before I really make any progress.

This will work much better!
