Olympic bars at FitKit

There are several different Olympic bar types you can choose from. The straight Olympic lifting bar is the most versatile starting point for building your strength training equipment collection. Use these bars for various exercises like deadlifts, bench presses and squats.

If you want an Olympic bar where you can perform bicep curls and tricep extensions that will reduce strain on your wrists and elbows, an EZ curl bar will definitely add to your collection.

Hex bars are also an alternative lifting bar, primarily for squats, deadlifts, farmer's walks and shrugs. A hex bar is shaped like a hexagon that you can step into and is more accessible and safe for beginners because of the more even weight distribution.

How much does any Olympic, EZ curl, and hex bar weigh?

Standard men's Olympic bars are 7 ft long and weigh 20 kg. In contrast, a female Olympic lifting bar is typically 5/ 6.5 ft and weighs 15 kg.

However, you can get specialised Olympic bars that weigh less than 20 kg for beginners and young people.

Most standard EZ curl bars weigh 5-10 kg, with Olympic EZ bars increasing to 10-14 kg.

Standard hex bars can weigh anywhere between 20-25 kg, and you can also get heavy-duty hex bars that weigh between 30-35 kg.

Is an EZ curl bar better than a straight bar?

You can perform bicep curls, skull crushers or preacher curls with a straight or EZ curl bar. Still, you may opt for an EZ curl bar for an angled grip to reduce stress on your wrists and elbows, a great option for people with joint pain or limited wrist flexibility. It will also give you more targeted forearm engagement than a straight bar when doing an arm curl.

However, use a straight bar to activate more muscles, as more stabilisation is required to use one, which will improve grip strength and muscle mass.
