Compatible with all standard 50mm Olympic plates and fits every squat rack and power rack on the market.

What makes this Olympic barbell different from standard bars?
Standard barbells max out at 100–200kg and have fixed sleeves — unsafe for dynamic lifts like cleans and snatches. This 20KG Olympic barbell is rated to 226KG, features rotating bronze bushing sleeves that protect your wrists during dynamic movements, and uses the universal 50mm Olympic sleeve standard compatible with all bumper and iron plates. It's designed to last 5–15 years in commercial use — not 1–2 years like a standard bar.

Common Questions

An Olympic barbell weighs 20KG (men's standard), measures 2.2m (7FT) in length, and features 50mm rotating sleeves compatible with all Olympic plates. Unlike standard barbells — which have fixed 25mm sleeves and max out at 100–200kg — Olympic bars are engineered for dynamic lifts like cleans, snatches and heavy deadlifts. They last 5–15 years in commercial use compared to 1–3 years for standard bars.
This bar uses 50mm (2 inch) Olympic sleeves — the universal standard for all commercial gym plates. It is compatible with bumper plates, cast iron plates, rubber-coated iron plates and competition plates from any brand. Standard 25mm plates will not fit. We stock a full range of compatible Olympic plates available separately.
Yes. With a 226KG (500LB) rated capacity, this bar handles heavy conventional and sumo deadlifts. The 28mm shaft diameter and medium-depth knurling give a confident grip even under maximum load. For elite powerlifters pulling over 200KG regularly, we recommend pairing with barbell lock jaw collars for added safety.
 
For Australian home gym owners, the ideal 20KG Olympic barbell needs corrosion resistance (for garage and shed conditions), universal 50mm compatibility, a load rating above 200KG and smooth sleeve rotation. This chrome-plated bar with bronze bushings meets all four criteria — and is stocked locally in our Sydney warehouse for fast delivery to all Australian states including NSW, VIC, QLD, SA and WA.
Yes. The bronze bushing sleeves provide smooth, controlled spin essential for Olympic lifts where the plates must stay stable while the bar rotates in your hands. The no centre knurl design also eliminates shoulder and neck discomfort during front squats and cleans — a key requirement for Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit training.
Yes. At 2200mm (7FT) total length with a 1310mm inside sleeve space, this bar fits all standard squat racks and power racks including J-hooks, safeties and monolift attachments. It is compatible with our full range of power racks and squat racks available on the 24/7 Gym Equipment website.
Yes — we deliver Australia-wide from our Sydney warehouse to all states and territories including Melbourne (VIC), Brisbane (QLD), Adelaide (SA), Perth (WA), Canberra (ACT), Newcastle, Wollongong, Gold Coast and regional areas. Pickup is also available from our Milperra NSW warehouse and interstate depot locations.
 
The 20KG Olympic bar is the universal standard for all strength training programs including Starting Strength, StrongLifts 5x5 and beginner powerlifting. Most beginners start with just the bar and add weight progressively. If 20KG is too heavy initially, technique bars (10–15KG) are available — but investing in a full Olympic bar from the start means you will never need to upgrade as your strength develops.
