York Barbell International Olympic Bar

Yes, this bar features 1.975-inch sleeves, which are designed to fit standard Olympic plates with a 2-inch center hole.

While the bar is rack-compatible, its 60-inch length is shorter than a standard 7-foot Olympic bar. You should measure the width of your rack's uprights to ensure the sleeves have enough clearance to rest safely on the J-hooks.

A 28mm shaft is slightly thinner than the 29mm or 32mm bars often found in commercial gyms. This diameter is generally preferred for Olympic lifting as it provides a comfortable, secure grip for most hand sizes.

With a tensile strength of 100,000 PSI, this bar is built for durability and controlled movements like squats and deadlifts. However, because it is a shorter, specialized bar, it is best suited for home training rather than heavy-duty commercial use.

The chrome finish is highly resistant to corrosion and wear, making it low-maintenance. Simply wipe the bar down with a soft, dry cloth after your workout to remove sweat and moisture.
