Many people do not realize that retailers who sell cheap standard spin lock or standard barbells sets will only sting you more when it comes to buying more weights. It’s a bit like the cheap printer at the time, but with expensive toner or ink later when you need more. Not only that, standard size does not mean one size fits all as there are 3 main types of standard sizes. That leaves you with the issue of trying to match up same standard weight plates, collars or additional bars and accessories. However an Olympic barbell set will always fit Olympic weight plates and Olympic spring collars or lock jaws.
More importantly, standard barbell equipment is just not safe as there is no counter weight balance, so if you load up 20kgs one side you run the likelihood of that toppling over and doing some major damage or injury. These bars usually range from 8-12kgs, they are thin and do not give you any training experience like a real gym. That is why a good Olympic barbell set should always be considered, be aware of sellers selling untrue rated or weighted barbells. At Sweat Central our general Olympic barbell set are a true 20kg net weight and have bearings that allow for movement. A cheap olympic barbell will not have these features and more so you want to do some research.
There are any types of barbells, for powerlifting, weightlifting, normal exercise and competition. If you unsure what type of barbell your retailer is offering you ask them - or come and see us where we will ensure you get what you need at a great price.
