There are two types of barbells: standard barbells and non-standard barbells.
Standard barbell: It consists of three parts: barbell bar (bar), barbell plate and clamp.
International weightlifting competitions must use the international standard barbell recognized by the International Lifting Federation. There are two types of men’s barbells and women’s barbells. The difference is mainly in the barbell bar, and the barbell plates are of the same standard.
The men’s barbell is 2.20 meters long and weighs 20 kilograms, while the women’s barbell is 2.15 meters long and weighs 15 kilograms. The barbell rod has a diameter of 0.028 meters, and the largest barbell piece has a diameter of 0.45 meters. The rubber on the outside can increase the appearance and reduce the noise of the barbell. The weight, color and model of the barbell are as follows: 25 kg (large red), 20 kg (large blue), 15 kg (large yellow), 10 kg (large green), 5 kg (medium white), 2.5 kg (medium red) Smaller), 2 kg (small blue), 1.5 kg (small yellow), 1 kg (small green) and 0.5 kg (small white).
The weight value of all barbell plates must be indicated by numbers on the outside. Each clamp weighs 2.5 kg.
The rule for adding barbells is that the inner side (adding first) is heavy and the outer side (after adding) is light, that is, the heavy weight is added to the inner side and the light weight is added to the outer side. Because the clamp weighs 2.5 kg, a small barbell under 2 kg (including 2 kg) must be added to the outside of the clamp, and this small barbell is limited to one on each side.
