The 6ft Olympic Barbell (185cm) has been specifically made for customers who don’t have the space for a 7ft barbell. The 185cm barbell has the same clearance on power rack uprights as most 7ft Olympic barbells, just a foot shorter!
Our old 6ft Olympic barbells were a hit, but they were a bit tight when re-racking the bar on a power rack. So we decided to get the barbell redesigned with the extra clearance to make life a bit easier.
If you are someone that has their home gym set up in a massive shed, you are probably wondering why you would bother getting a 185cm bar. But as a Sydneysider, I can tell that home gyms are getting smaller and every millimetre counts these days. So this bar gives you the best of both worlds – heavy duty yet takes up little of your precious space.
They are even perfect for gyms that may have many power racks set up in a row. These bars are a lot easier to move around the gym and members are less likely to take each others heads off with these shorter bars. You can still fit plenty of plates on for bench pressing and squatting so this will keep the serious lifters happy.

I’ve been using this barbell for a more than a year. It has kept up well. There’s a good tolerance in the sleeves to fit calibrated steel weight plates that have a 50.5mm diameter centre hole. The sleeve length is enough to really load it up with steel weight plates. The knurling is plenty rough. The coating has a few dings but none that have gone through the chrome coating. The spin I find enough for non-Olympic movements. I haven’t lifted enough to test the load rating. I would prefer a slightly longer shaft between the sleeves to reduce clanging weight plates on the top of the rack. Overall I’m happy with this barbell.
