8kg Aluminium Barbell

Learning complex weightlifting moves has never been so simple!

Olympic Lifting is a serious sport. It requires a level of strength, flexibility and skill that most people will never quite get.

The problem has always been being able to learn the basics with a weight that is manageable. Typically you'd have to use a 20kg bar plus plates. If you're lucky enough to have a pair of our 2.5kg Iron Edge technique plates, you'd still be working with a 25kg bar weight. Not a huge weight I know, but when you're learning the intricacies of the snatch and the clean & jerk, it's a lot of weight for a rookie to be holding overhead.

This madness leads to injury and can make weightlifting a scary and intimidating sport. But here's a solution that can make learning weightlifting easy and safe for all.

The 8kg/6ft aluminium barbell is ideal for the budding weightlifter. Combine this bar with our 2.5kg technique plates and you've got the perfect combination for anyone starting out. You can learn the technique with as little as 13kg total weight.

If you're starting out with weightlifting or you teach others, then the 8kg/6ft aluminium barbell should be exactly what you're looking for.

very happy with this bar, exceeded expectations and priced we1l.
with 2 iron edge 5kg bumpers on either end
worked like a treat!
Perfect for our needs
We bought this bar to use at an exhibition where members of the public tried their hand at lifting and it was perfect for this use. Back in the gym, it gets used by our youngest members for technique. Perhaps the knurling could be a little bit smoother.
This is a fantastic bar for my teenage daughter to start with, thanks to this option, she can confidently learn the basic barbell moves....thankyou ironedge for providing another quality product.
Exclent equipment
This is the best quality bar i have found for females and beginers to lifting.
Great for teaching newbies
Its key to teach the Olympic lifts from the right height. With just 13kg bar weight (with my 2.5kg Pendlay plates) my clients are able to practise the lifts with confidence.
Thanks Iron Edge.. Loaded with 2.5kg bumpers my new 13kg bar is perfect for teaching my new clients to O lift. I've been using a bar without plates on until now..This makes the world of difference having the bar at the right height from the ground...happy customer yet again!

Answered Questions

• Hi, How much weight can this bar take?

A: If you need to ask the question, you should likely be looking at getting a stock standard Olympic bar. Being 8kg it gives beginners a 12kg break from a 20kg bar. It is designed as a technique bar, not one to set your personal records on.

• what is the rating of the barbell in kgs

A: It doesn't have a rating as such as it's only designed to teach technique for the Olympic lifts and for lifters who cant yet use a standard 15/20kg bar. Once you're adding 30kg+ to the bar you would want to be using a standard bar with technique plates if required.

• What is the distance between the bushings? I have a 50" wide power rack and I'm guessing that this is bar really close to wide enough but not quite (48" maybe).

A: The distance between collars is 1265mm which is ~49 3/4 inches.

• "Weight tolerance

A: The 8kg Aluminium Barbell is a technique bar and as such doesn't have a percentage weight tolerance rating, much like a broomstick handle it's simply for teaching correct technique with minimal external load.

Save with shipping

Here's how you can save 10% to 20% on your shipping costs.

Shipping can be expensive. With our dense and heavy items it can cost a small fortune to ship our products around Australia.

This is something we're well aware of and have worked hard to keep costs down while also ensuring your goods get delivered quickly and in perfect condition.

Enter Star Track Express. These guys are now our preferred supplier and have given us some fantastic rates. Not to mention their computer system works with ours so there should be far less headaches with tracking and shipping times.

Would you like to save even more on shipping?

Star Track offer between 10 and 20% discounts for items delivered to a business.

Why?

Because there is a 99.98% deliverability success rate when items are shipped to a business. Compare this to a 88.48% success rate to a home address.

So there are less complaints and redelivery fees. This makes everyone happy so Star Track offer a nice discount if you get your stuff sent to your business.

Here's some other reasons why you should consider getting your gear sent to a business address:

  • Less chance of items going missing (items left at a home address can go walking)
  • Faster delivery times as businesses are located in easy to get to locations. Plus businesses have priority over home addresses. (Star Track claim that they can deliver to 3-4 times more business addresses than home addresses)
  • No redelivery fees because items almost always get delivered 1st go (as there is always someone at a business address)
  • No need to hang around all day waiting for things to be delivered.
  • Less chance of damage because items are delivered more quickly and spend less time in the truck.
We ask you to consider getting your items sent to your place of work, that way everyone benefits!
