Olympic Bar 1.2m | 28mm Diameter, 300lb Capacity, 47-Inch Short Bar

The 1.2m Olympic Bar is a compact 47-inch solid barbell built for home gyms across Kenya, providing a shorter, lighter bar format with a 28mm grip diameter and 300lb weight capacity — ideal for spaces with limited rack width or for users who prefer a shorter bar for pressing, curling and accessory work.

1.2m Compact Length — 47 Inches
At 1.2m the bar is significantly shorter than a standard 2.2m Olympic barbell — fitting into home gym squat racks, power cages and bench setups with narrower upright widths where a full-length bar would extend beyond the rack footprint or be impractical for the available space.

28mm Shaft Diameter
The 28mm grip diameter is slightly narrower than the 30mm of full-length Olympic bars, providing a comfortable hand fit for users with smaller hand sizes and for exercises like barbell curls and close-grip pressing where a narrower grip diameter improves wrist alignment.

300lb Maximum Weight Capacity
The 136kg loading capacity covers the practical training requirements of beginner through to intermediate home gym users across pressing, squatting and pulling movements without approaching the structural limits of the bar.

22lbs — Lighter Starting Weight
The 22lb bar weight provides a lighter starting point for beginners learning barbell technique before adding external plates — reducing the barrier to learning correct lifting mechanics on pressing and squatting movements.

Ideal for Home Gym Accessory Work
The compact length and lighter weight make the 1.2m bar particularly well suited to bicep curls, close-grip bench press, overhead press in low-ceiling spaces, and EZ bar substitute work for arm and shoulder training.
