Start em’ young 

But with the right equipment. The basics of movement are best learned and consolidated at a young age. With qualified guidance and equipment suitable for children and youngsters, weight training, as well as Olympic weightlifting, are a very good sport for the youth. This barbell is ideal for our youngest strength athletes and beginners.

Adapted to the proportions of adolescents

The barbell is shorter, both in the shaft and in the sleeves. However, the diameter of the sleeves remains at 50mm so that standard plates can be used. This makes the junior Olympic weightlifting bar compatible with the standardized weight plates for Olympic weightlifting. The diameter of the shaft is also reduced to 25mm to allow a secure grip with smaller hands and to get used to the hook grip. A relative soft knurling will give the skin on the hands time to adapt, even with many repetitions done.

Mini But Mighty

The spring steel shaft allows frequent dropping. The flexible steel absorbs the forces that occur on impact and contributes to the durability of the junior Olympic barbell. There is no centre knurl on the youth Olympic barbell and it comes with a cool black barbell shaft. The youth Olympic barbell has dual grip markings, meaning the IPF and IWF standardized markings. The advantage is that the markings are the same when changing to a regular bar, so change of grip position won't be necessary.
