Elite 20kg Olympic Barbell (1000LB Capacity)
The Elite 1000LB Olympic Barbell is the mid-range performance bar in our 20kg lineup, designed for lifters who want more capacity and faster sleeve rotation than a standard bushing bar without stepping up to the 1500LB or 2000LB Elite models. It weighs 20kg, measures 2200mm / 2.2m long, uses a 28.5mm shaft and 50mm Olympic sleeves, and is rated to 453kg / 1000lb.
The bar combines 190,000 PSI tensile-strength steel, 8 needle bearings and a black zinc finish for smooth rotation and durable everyday use. It suits squats, bench press, deadlifts, rows, cleans and mixed strength training in home gyms, PT studios and commercial facilities.
Why Choose the Elite 1000LB Olympic Barbell?
This bar sits above the 500LB and 700LB models for buyers who want 1000LB capacity and needle-bearing sleeve rotation. The 1500LB model remains the stronger commercial-focused option, while the 2000LB power bar is the dedicated heavy-strength choice.
190K PSI Steel + Needle-Bearing Rotation
Strength, Spin and Everyday Versatility
190,000 PSI tensile strength gives this model a higher steel specification than entry-level Olympic bars. The 8 needle-bearing sleeve system allows the sleeves to rotate smoothly around the shaft, which is useful during cleans and other faster barbell movements.
That combination makes the 1000LB model a strong middle ground between a basic bushing bar and the higher-capacity Elite commercial and power bars in the range.
