There are countless types of barbells in the gym and the barbell you use should be reflective of your training.
Far too often, we see beginners use things like deadlift bars for squatting simply because they may not know better. You'll not only perform stronger by using the right barbell, but you'll also prolong your barbell's health.
In this video, me and Tanner from Massenomics discuss power bars, weightlifting bars, deadlift bars, and squat bars, and when to use each.

11:21 Final Thoughts
Outside of these 4 barbells, there are also traditional training barbells and that's what most gyms will have for general use.
Hopefully, if you've been confused about which barbells to use for your training this video can help clear some of that confusion up.
Speciality barbells are awesome and as you get more specific with your training their use and importance will increase.

Great video! Personally, I'd rather have a center knurl on my WL bars (think AB SS Comp or Rogue Pyrros) but it's not a deal breaker if it doesn't

@thatfitfriend 11 ай бұрын

Thank you! A smooth knurl is nice sometimes for sure! Helps with high-bar. Should do a deep dive into a bunch of one type of barbell soon

@darrickriley6163 2 ай бұрын

Great video and breakdown. Whats the weight of each bar? It looks like some are heavier than others.

@thatfitfriend 2 ай бұрын

Weightlifting = Either 20kg/45lb Power = Either 20kg/45lb Deadlift Bar = 45 lbs Squat Bar = 55 lbs

@markhalstead2386 11 ай бұрын

Bingo! I have an Ohio Bar, Ohio Power Bar and Texas Deadlift Bar. The squat bar is my last bar to get. I like it for spreading the weight over a larger area due to the larger diameter. One other benefit of a squat bar that was not mentioned is the extra length is great for people that tend to bang their uprights on walkouts. The extra length puts the collars farther from the uprights. I bench outside the rack and squat inside the rack. A squat bar is one that can stay in the rack, which will mean I no longer need to move my power bar in and out of the rack all the time.

Yeah! Rogue makes the shortie that they use for CrossFit comps! I own it and it’s solid

So would the squat bar be the most compatible for all 3 lifts, or would it not be great.

What kind of bar is good for bench press and how much do they generally weigh ?

@thatfitfriend 4 ай бұрын

General bars work fine and power bars! 45 lbs, typically or 20kg/44 lb

What kind of barbell should I buy for a land mine I already have a 20 kg fringe sports hybrid barbell but I’m not sure if I should use it on a land mine I don’t want to damage it

@thatfitfriend 3 ай бұрын

You should be fine with that! Generalist bars are usually want you want to use for those attachments because higher-end specific ones are the ones you'll want to keep for their designated activities!

Question: when I watch the weightliftinger's training video's and competitions they use the bar with center knurling,so power bar i assume, Why not the weightlifting bar?

@thatfitfriend 2 ай бұрын

It’s a different type of knurl! They have center knurl but the weightlifting bar’s is smooth so it doesn’t scratch up your neck in cleans/front squats

Prob your generalist bar, shouldn’t be a massive issue durability wise if you’re dropping with weight. They get effed when lifters drop with without weight or super light plates like 10s
