Which bar should you buy?
- Bar length is decided by your rack, not your preference. A 7ft bar needs roughly 2.2m of clear width to sit in J-hooks. If your rack is narrower or your ceiling is low, a 6ft bar such as the JORDAN Aluminium Training Bar at £173 is the correct choice, not a compromise.
- General home strength training: the JLC 7ft Olympic Bar at £168 or a JORDAN Steel Series Straight Bar from £162. Both handle squats, presses, rows and deadlifts.
- Olympic lifting (snatch, clean and jerk): you need bearings, not bushings — the sleeves must spin freely as the bar rotates in your hands. The JORDAN Steel Series bars with bearings, the Elite Steel High Performance Bar at £276 and the Ultimate Olympic Bars from £316 are the bars built for this.
- Arm and accessory work: the JORDAN Steel Series Super Curl Bar with bearings at £174. The angled grip takes the strain off your wrists on curls and skull crushers.
- Technique work and beginners: the JORDAN Aluminium Training Bar (6ft) at £173 is lighter than a standard 20kg bar, which makes it the right tool for learning a lift pattern before loading it.
What the price buys
The gap between a £162 bar and a £351 bar is not weight capacity — it is sleeve rotation, knurl consistency and tensile strength of the shaft. A bar that only ever holds a static load for pressing and rowing does not need bearings. A bar that gets whipped overhead does.
Delivery
Every barbell on this page is priced under £250, so a bar bought on its own carries a flat £20 UK delivery charge. Ordering a bar together with plates, collars or a bench takes the order over £250 and delivery becomes free — which usually costs less than the £20 it saves. See our Weight Plates collection. Dispatch within 5 working days, tracking emailed within 24 hours of dispatch.
