Frequently Asked Questions

Are barbells better than dumbbells?

Neither barbells nor dumbbells are better than the other; it entirely depends on your exercise of choice and your fitness goals. Whilst barbells allow you to lift heavier weights, ideal for compound movements, dumbbells allow you to effectively isolate muscles.

How much does a barbell weigh without plates?

Barbells typically weigh around 20kg. However, there are lighter options available. Our barbells range from 2.5kg to 20kg.

Which barbell should I buy as a beginner?

If you are a beginner, then you may want to start off with a lighter barbell, such as our 2.5kg training bar. A lighter bar will allow you to practise proper form before moving up to heavier weights and intensifying your workouts.
