Different Length Straight Weight Lifting Barbell Bar

From the outside, a barbell bar is composed of a horizontal bar in the middle and sleeves on both sides. Let's start with the horizontal bar. There is a difference between Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting requirements for barbell feel. Let me talk about the hand feel and elasticity that everyone is very concerned about. Many people have misunderstandings about the elasticity of the barbell. The elasticity of the weightlifting bar must be just right. It does not mean that the greater the elasticity, the better the bar. On the contrary, the powerlifting bar requires a relatively harder bar to pursue the stability of heavy squats, bench presses, and deadlifts.

The powerlifting barbell is designed for heavy squats, bench presses, and deadlifts. It feels relatively hard and does not store elastic energy. (That is to say, the deformation under the same load is relatively small, and the rigidity is relatively high.) The weightlifting barbell is designed for the clean and jerk snatch of the two Olympic weightlifting events. The diameter is thinner (28mm) and the elastic energy storage is more. ) Proper elasticity can bring some advantages to the athlete in the jerk and jerk, and the grip rings of the two are also different.
