Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 6ft International Olympic barbell and a normal 7ft Olympic barbell?

The main difference is length and sleeve space. A 6ft International Olympic barbell takes up less room and is easier to use in compact home gyms, while a 7ft Olympic bar offers longer sleeves for loading more plates. This 6ft bar keeps a full-size centre section for rack compatibility while reducing overall length.

Will this 6ft International Olympic barbell fit my squat rack or power cage?

Yes. Unlike many shorter barbells, this bar has a full Olympic-sized centre section designed to fit Mirafit racks and power cages. The length of the centre section is the same as a 7ft Olympic bar but the sleeves are shorter, which means the bar saves space overall.

Is a 6ft International Olympic bar good for a home or garage gym?

A 6ft Olympic bar is often ideal for home and garage gyms where space is limited. The shorter overall length makes loading plates and moving around the bar easier without sacrificing compatibility with racks and common exercises.

What exercises can I do with a 6ft Olympic barbell?

You can perform most major barbell exercises including squats, bench press, deadlifts, overhead press, rows, lunges, hip thrusts and Olympic-style movements.

How much weight can this Olympic bar hold?

This bar has a maximum load capacity of 300kg, making it suitable for beginners and experienced lifters training at home.

Does this bar use standard or Olympic weight plates?

This bar is designed for 2-inch Olympic weight plates and collars.

Is a 28mm grip diameter good for lifting?

A 28mm grip diameter is commonly used on Olympic-style bars because it provides a comfortable balance between grip security and bar flexibility.

Why does this bar have rotating sleeves?

Rotating sleeves help reduce stress on the wrists and allow smoother movement during lifts by letting the plates spin independently from the bar shaft.

How much space do I need for a 6ft Olympic barbell?

The total bar length is 186cm. You should also allow additional room on each side of the bar for loading and unloading weight plates comfortably.

Is a shorter Olympic barbell suitable for beginners?

Yes. A shorter Olympic barbell can be an excellent option for beginners because it takes up less space and feels easier to handle while still allowing progression in key strength exercises.

Bought this 6ft Olympic bar to go with a M200 Power Rack as we haven't got the space for the 7ft bar. Really solid and a good amount of space for plates on the collars. I actually find hip thrusting easier with this shorter bar - bonus!

I already had a 6ft Olympic bar but it had the regular length sleeves which meant I had to have my bench press station set to a narrow width so that the bar would rack. Because it was narrow, I kept catching my elbows on the spotters when doing bench press. I didn't have space for a 7ft bar either. This bar solved that problem. The sleeves are shorter and the 1 inch bar portion is longer whilst still measuring 6ft in total - meaning I could widen up my bench press station. The quality of the bar is excellent, the knurling is decent and provides a great grip and the sleeves are still long enough for plenty of plates. Well worth the money.

First and foremost, this product is excellent. As have all my Mirafit products been, but why they continue to DHL I have no idea... It is impossible to gain any accurate tracking information or work out when I need time off to accept delivery. The tracking status is always wrong and quite often my products are 'due to be delivered (yesterdays date)'. In a world of e-commerce, one click buy with Amazon, I find the whole tracking and choice of courier massively disappointing given I've spent £1000 on equipment over the last 3 weeks.

This shorter 6 foot bar has the same center width as a standard olympic bar, just with shorter sleeves. This has been perfect for me as I work out in a space that is less than 9 foot wide. I very much like the rough knurling. Most of my gym equipment is from Mirafit, I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Bar arrived very well packaged and on time.

I recently cancelled my gym Membership but was missing the heavier training as I only had dumbbells at home. I ordered this bar to use with my half rack. I love having the bar for both strength work and for pull up and core training.

This is exactly what we needed as our other 6ft bar didn't fit on the M4 Squat Rack we ordered. We have limited space so no room for a 7ft bar. We love using the bar in conjuction with the brilliant M4 rack.

I bought this to compliment a 7ft bar. I moved house and the gym was narrower than the previous. That left me with barely enough room to put weights on the 7ft bar. This is perfect. Same grip and diameter as the other bar, fits my rack but because the collars are shorter I can now work at the ends of the bar. I can get 140kg on it (bumpers) which is good for most things. When I need more weight I can either deal with the inconvenience of the 7ft bar or get some slim steel plates
