Olympic barbell
The Olympic male barbell weighs 44.1 pounds or 20 kg. A women's Olympic barbell weighs 15 kg or 33 pounds. The main difference between the men's and women's versions is that the rod for women is thinner to make it easier.
The difference between an Olympic and a standard barbell is that the Olympic bar has a much more versatile use. The cuffs at the ends of the bar also rotate and have a diameter of 2 inches to fit the plates of Olympic dumbbells. Olympic bars also give a bigger "whip" than a standard bar, which is the amount of bend that a barbell can withstand without permanent bending. When choosing an Olympic barbell, you can choose between different shaft diameters, knurled types and bearings and bushings.
