Earth Bar Strengthbae – Olympic Barbell 20 kg 2,2 Meter

Standard 5 cm Long Sleeves

Barbell sleeves are the ends of the barbell where weights are loaded. Strengthbae’s Earth Bar features standard sleeves with a 5 cm diameter, matching the specifications of typical gym barbells. The total length—from sleeve tip to sleeve tip—also meets the standard 2.2-meter requirement, ensuring compatibility with racks; this is crucial, as many barbells fall short of the 2-meter mark and do not fit standard racks. Furthermore, the sleeves are long enough to accommodate loads exceeding 200 kg of thick bumper plates or over 300 kg of iron plates.

Bushing

A bushing barbell is characterized by low sleeve spin, unlike a bearing barbell, which features high-speed sleeve rotation. Bushing barbells are well-suited for general, conventional strength training that does not require movements like the clean and jerk or the snatch found in competitive weightlifting. Because the sleeves have low spin, the barbell offers greater comfort and stability during exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, hip thrusts, and other fundamental movements.

Active Knurling

Knurling refers to the cross hatched pattern on a barbell shaft designed to increase friction between the palms and the bar. High quality knurling ensures a comfortable grip, preventing the bar from easily slipping out of the hands when lifting heavy loads. Additionally, a chrome finish makes the barbell resistant to rust.

Include Collar

Every barbell purchase includes barbell collars. These collars lock the weight plates in place to prevent them from sliding off if a movement is performed unevenly, allowing you to exercise more safely without the risk of the weights falling.
