Barbells – Short and Long Barbells for Effective Strength Training
Staying consistent was always a challenge for her. Living in a small village without access to gyms, traveling to the city took too much time. The solution came with home fitness equipment. With an Olympic barbell, plenty of weights, and a suitable rack, she was finally able to build the muscles she had always dreamed of.
Do you also want to train at home and adjust the weights flexibly as you progress? Then a high-quality barbell is the perfect choice for you.
Strength Training with Barbells: Flexible, Safe, and Efficient
A barbell is essentially a straight metal bar with weight plates attached to both ends. It can be used for various strength training exercises:
- Short barbells are compact and ideal for isolating specific muscle groups.
- Standard barbells have a diameter of 30 mm, making them great for beginners performing bench presses or squats.
- Olympic barbells feature an outer diameter of 50 mm and are designed for professional athletes, such as weightlifters. They support significantly higher weights and often include bearings for self-balancing during lifts.
- The curl bar or EZ bar has a distinct curved shape, reducing strain on the wrists and targeting the forearms more intensely. It’s suitable for both beginners and rehabilitation training.
Training with Barbells
Barbell strength training goes beyond the classic bench press on a weight bench. A wide range of exercises like squats, deadlifts, tricep extensions, and get-up lunges allow for a comprehensive full-body workout. Barbells engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously. In addition to building muscle and burning fat, barbell training improves coordination as you balance the bar during lifts. You can easily adjust the intensity and difficulty by adding or removing weight plates on the barbell.
