Olympic weight sets for Olympic-sized fitness goals
Just like with dating, you have a type. Some of you swipe right on yoga, while others give it a left.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re a hard right on weight lifting. You already know the benefits of lifting heavy and you’re ready to stock your home gym with a new set of Olympic weights.
To you (and your right-swiping index finger), we say welcome.
Olympic weight set: What to know
Olympic weight sets let you lift heavier than standard barbell weights. They’re a natural progression for anyone who leveled out of standard weights or anyone who plans on destroying their current goals and reach for massive gains.
-
The ends of Olympic bars are 2” (50 mm) in diameter.
-
Most bars weigh 44 pounds (20 kg).
-
Olympic barbells are a standard 7.2’ long (2.2 m).
-
The grip section of an Olympic bar is 1.1” in diameter and 4.3’ in length.
-
Olympic bars can only take Olympic weight plates with 2” diameter holes.
-
Olympic barbells can withstand a maximum weight of up to 1,500 pounds.
-
Olympic bars have rotating ends (sleeves), making them more comfortable and natural to lift.
-
Olympic weight plates are sturdier than standard weights and resist drops better.
-
Olympic weight plates come in heavier sizes compared to standard barbell weight sets.
-
Grip plates include built-in handles, making them easier to pick up off of the floor.
When it comes to weightlifting, don’t confuse standard weight plates with Olympic weight plates. The diameter is different and they won’t fit properly.
If you’re going to the Olympics, go all in.
Because Olympic bars are thicker and made from top-quality, strong steel, you’ll find that it’s easier to load the bar with weights. Great news when the bar is racked and you’re loading heavy plates on one side at a time. There’s less chance of it tipping over.
When it comes to lifting, the sleeves (the ends of the barbell) rotate on an Olympic bar. That gives a smoother lifting experience and reduces the chance of injury when hitting your max.
Speaking of lifting heavier weights. You’ll find Olympic weight plates ranging from 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 35, and 45 pounds. Olympic weight plates are either rubber or urethane coated to prevent chipping and rust. And they’re always precision-tested, meaning that you can trust the accuracy of the weight.
Olympic bumper plates are solid rubber plates that are great for workouts like CrossFit or Olympic lifting. The rubber coating helps them withstand being dropped and avoid ruining your home gym floor.
