Weights and Bars

Weights Bars and Collars

The Bars and Collars category is a baud category. This category includes one inch and two inch bars, bar holders, collars, machine bars, and Olympic adapters.

One inch bars are typically less expensive than the Olympic weight bars and can be a good choice for an individual who is just starting, on a budget, or restricted by space. A standard weight bar fit weight plates with a 1” diameter inner hole. The Olympic weight bar fits Olympic plates with roughly a 2” diameter inner hole. You will need an Olympic bar if you are using an Olympic width weight bench or lifting using a power rack. Olympic weight bars have become the choice of serious weight lifter because they are strong, dependable, and easier to workout with.

You can keep your barbell bars tidy and organized with a bar holder. Most bar holders hold several bars vertically and can be very useful in the weight room.

Machine bars are accessory items for cable and pulley machines such as home gyms or lat machines. Using different bars targets different muscle groups and this allows you to get more out of your current machine.

Finally if you have a machine with standard pegs and would rather use Olympic plates, an Olympic adapter will allow you to do this safely and effectively.

Dumbbells

You can’t really go wrong with a dumbbell set. Dumbbells are a great way to get an all around strength workout. Dumbbell workouts are dominant to barbell exercises when it comes to developing smaller stabilizer muscles. If you lift heavy with dumbbells you can make dramatic strength and muscle gains quickly. We carry several kinds of dumbbells, so finding the set that fits your needs shouldn’t be a problem. We carry adjustable dumbbells, cast iron dumbbells, chrome dumbbells, contoured handled dumbbells, neoprene dumbbells, and packaged dumbbells. Adjustable dumbbells are great for an individual who doesn’t have the space for a classic dumbbell set. With an adjustable dumbbell, nine dumbbells can be condensed into one dumbbell. The cast iron dumbbells are great because they are one piece and feel solid in your hand. The cast iron dumbbells have the widest variety of sizes. Contoured handled dumbbells are the same as cast iron dumbbells but have a more ergonomic grip. Some people prefer the classic feel of the straight handle and other people like the feel of the contoured handle. It’s all preference of reverse feel. Neoprene dumbbells are good for running and cardio. Neoprene dumbbells come in the smallest sizes available.

Weight Sets and Plates

The Weight Sets and Plates category includes fixed curl bars, kettle bars, Olympic weight plates, and standard weight plates.

In the fixed curl bars subcategory we carry fixed bars ranging form 20 lbs to 110 lbs. Fixed curl bars are great for preacher curl, standing curl, reverse curl, French press exercises and more. The weights are pre-assembled and encased in rubber to stand up to continuous commercial use.
