What makes a 150cm short olympic barbell different from a standard olympic barbell?
A standard men's olympic barbell is 220cm long and weighs 20kg. This 150cm short olympic bar is 70cm shorter and 7kg lighter at 13kg — making it easier to handle during technique work and allowing it to fit spaces where a standard bar would overhang, hit walls or be unsafe to load. Despite the shorter length, this bar maintains the 50mm Olympic sleeve standard and a 453kg load rating — plate compatibility and training capacity are not compromised. It is the preferred olympic barbell for compact home gyms, beginner Olympic lifters, basement setups and space-constrained PT studios across Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
This bar weighs 13kg — 7kg lighter than a standard 20kg olympic barbell. The lighter weight makes it ideal for beginners learning snatch and clean & jerk technique, as it reduces the starting load before plates are added. Despite the lower bar weight, the 453kg load rating means it handles serious progressive loading as your strength improves.
A 150cm short olympic barbell (also called a short bar, compact barbell or technique barbell) is 70cm shorter than a standard 220cm olympic barbell and weighs 13kg rather than the standard 20kg. It uses the same 50mm Olympic sleeve standard and 28mm shaft, accepts the same plates, and trains the same movements. It is designed for lifters who cannot safely use a standard bar due to space constraints — garage gyms with narrow walls, basement setups, tight training rooms or PT studios where floor space is limited.
Yes. The 28mm shaft and 50mm Olympic sleeves match the grip feel and plate compatibility of a full competition olympic barbell. The 13kg bar weight and 150cm length make it especially well-suited for technique drilling — snatch, hang clean, power clean, clean & jerk and their progressions. The lighter starting weight allows beginners to develop correct positions and movement patterns before stepping up to a 20kg standard bar.
Yes. The 50mm Olympic sleeve standard is compatible with all bumper plates, cast iron Olympic plates and rubber-coated plates from any brand. Note: Standard 25mm (1-inch) plates will not fit — only 50mm (2-inch) Olympic plates are compatible.
It depends on your rack's internal J-hook width. Most standard power racks have an internal width of 100–120cm, designed for 220cm bars. A 150cm bar's sleeves may not reach J-hooks spaced for a standard bar. Always measure your rack's internal width before ordering. The 150cm bar works perfectly for all floor-based lifts — deadlifts, cleans, snatches and overhead press — regardless of rack compatibility.
The primary differences are weight (13kg vs 20kg) and length (150cm vs 220cm). Both use the same 28mm shaft diameter and 50mm Olympic sleeves. The 13kg bar is lighter and shorter — making it easier to handle during technique work and suitable for space-constrained gyms. The 20kg standard olympic barbell matches IWF competition specifications for length and weight. Both accept the same plates and train the same movements.
Yes — this is the primary use case for this bar. Australian garage gyms are often in single-car garages (typically 3m wide) where a 220cm bar would hit the walls or be unsafe to load and unload. At 150cm total length and 13kg, this short olympic barbell gives lifters in compact home gyms full Olympic plate compatibility and a 453kg load rating without requiring a wide training space. Pair with rubber gym mats for floor protection during drops and deadlifts.
Yes — this bar is on display at our Milperra NSW showroom at 10/202 Milperra Road. You can compare it side by side against our standard 220cm olympic barbells in person. Mon–Fri 9am–5pm. Saturday by appointment only. Closed Sunday. Call 1300 247 888 or WhatsApp +61 412 029 000 to book a Saturday appointment or ask any questions before visiting.

Who Is This Best For?
The Right Olympic Barbell For
- Compact home gym & garage gym owners — the 150cm length fits spaces where a standard 220cm olympic barbell would overhang, hit walls or be unsafe to load and unload
- Olympic weightlifting beginners — the 13kg bar weight is 7kg lighter than a standard olympic barbell, making it ideal for learning snatch, clean & jerk and technique progressions before stepping up to a full-weight bar
- Basement & low-ceiling gym setups — shorter bar reduces swing radius during overhead movements in tight vertical spaces
- CrossFit athletes in tight spaces — full Olympic sleeve compatibility means all bumper plates work for barbell cycling and WOD training
- PT studios with limited floor space — compact short olympic barbell for client technique work without the footprint of a full 220cm bar
- Custom gym builders — the distinctive camo finish differentiates a personalised gym build from standard black or chrome bar aesthetics

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
This bar weighs 13kg — 7kg lighter than a standard 20kg olympic barbell. The lighter weight makes it ideal for beginners learning snatch and clean & jerk technique, as it reduces the starting load before plates are added. Despite the lower bar weight, the 453kg load rating means it handles serious progressive loading as your strength improves.
A 150cm short olympic barbell (also called a short bar, compact barbell or technique barbell) is 70cm shorter than a standard 220cm olympic barbell and weighs 13kg rather than the standard 20kg. It uses the same 50mm Olympic sleeve standard and 28mm shaft, accepts the same plates, and trains the same movements. It is designed for lifters who cannot safely use a standard bar due to space constraints — garage gyms with narrow walls, basement setups, tight training rooms or PT studios where floor space is limited.
Yes. The 28mm shaft and 50mm Olympic sleeves match the grip feel and plate compatibility of a full competition olympic barbell. The 13kg bar weight and 150cm length make it especially well-suited for technique drilling — snatch, hang clean, power clean, clean & jerk and their progressions. The lighter starting weight allows beginners to develop correct positions and movement patterns before stepping up to a 20kg standard bar.
Yes. The 50mm Olympic sleeve standard is compatible with all bumper plates, cast iron Olympic plates and rubber-coated plates from any brand. Note: Standard 25mm (1-inch) plates will not fit — only 50mm (2-inch) Olympic plates are compatible.
It depends on your rack's internal J-hook width. Most standard power racks have an internal width of 100–120cm, designed for 220cm bars. A 150cm bar's sleeves may not reach J-hooks spaced for a standard bar. Always measure your rack's internal width before ordering. The 150cm bar works perfectly for all floor-based lifts — deadlifts, cleans, snatches and overhead press — regardless of rack compatibility.
The primary differences are weight (13kg vs 20kg) and length (150cm vs 220cm). Both use the same 28mm shaft diameter and 50mm Olympic sleeves. The 13kg bar is lighter and shorter — making it easier to handle during technique work and suitable for space-constrained gyms. The 20kg standard olympic barbell matches IWF competition specifications for length and weight. Both accept the same plates and train the same movements.
Yes — this is the primary use case for this bar. Australian garage gyms are often in single-car garages (typically 3m wide) where a 220cm bar would hit the walls or be unsafe to load and unload. At 150cm total length and 13kg, this short olympic barbell gives lifters in compact home gyms full Olympic plate compatibility and a 453kg load rating without requiring a wide training space. Pair with rubber gym mats for floor protection during drops and deadlifts.
