Hi Guys

Does anyone know if there is a standard weight for the following items:

7 ft Olympic Bar (I know this is 20kg)
6 ft Olympic Bar
5 ft Olympic Bar
Olympic Curl Bar
Olympic Super Curl Bar
Olympic Tricep Bar

Thanks in advance

Tricep bar = 10KG
Curl bar (EZ?) = I was under the impression these were 7.5KG but apparently 18lbs
5ft = 14KG
6ft = 15KG

Most of these found from just googling the product.

May I ask why you're after the weight of the bars?

Following on from my previous thread i am creating a brand of weights, so will also be getting some bars in but the suppliers weight of the bars seem to vary so wanted to know if there was a universally acknowledged size.

Ahhh right. I'd get those double checked before giving details to your manufacturer

talking about suppliers, gymratz get their stuff made by an independent manufacturer who sticks their label onto the piece of equipment.

basically means you can get gymratz equipment direct from the manufacturer (hes just 1 guy) for 23% less. it just wont have a gymratz logo on it. havent got the guys details yet, but i know someone who knows him, so i just need to email him.

You better put me in touch in the future, would save a bomb on the leg sled if I had room for it!

I have seen another company selling the GymRatz stuff for about 10-15% more just with their own labels.
