Description
5ft, 13kg Olympic bar rated to 700lbs — £140. The MYO Strength 5ft Olympic Bar packs a 28mm knurled grip and 270mm loadable sleeves into a shorter bar that fits tight spaces and still takes every Olympic plate.
⚠️ Will a 5ft bar fit a power rack? No.
Check this before anything else. A standard power rack needs a 7ft bar to span the J-hooks — a 5ft bar is too short to sit in one. This is a bar for a garage, a spare room, a small studio where a 7ft bar cannot be turned around, or as a second bar for accessory work alongside a full-length one.
5ft or 6ft?
The MYO Strength 6ft Olympic Bar is £150 — 15kg with 280mm sleeves, so it takes more plate and feels closer to a standard bar in the hands. £10 is an easy decision if the room allows the extra foot. Choose 5ft when it genuinely does not, or when the bar is for lighter accessory work where the shorter length is easier to handle.
What does the 700lb rating mean in practice?
318kg is far beyond what any home lifter will load, so the rating is not a ceiling you will meet — it is an indicator of steel quality and how the bar behaves under repeated loading. A well-rated bar returns to straight; an under-specified one develops permanent bend, and once a bar is bent it never rolls true again.
Delivery to the UK
Standard delivery to UK mainland addresses is £20, and free on any order over £250 — the threshold is on the order total, not the bar. Add plates to the same order and the whole thing ships free.
