Are they suitable for Olympic bars? If so, which ones specifically would be suitable?

I have used them on every piece of equipment at the gym that I go to and that does include Olympic bars (straight bars, z-bars/curl bars). I've used them on the ropes for my rope pull downs and I have used them on hammer strength equipment. I absolutely love them and they're very versatile. Let me know if that answers your question.

Hi Douglas,I have never used them on Olympic bars unfortunately, so I do not know how they would work on them. What I can say is that they have done well for me over the years and they are a great deal.

Yes I use it on my olympic bar, 45 lb one. I also use them on my dumb bells and lat par. hopes this helps

Yes, you can use an Olympic bar (72 inch or longer). However, the plate storage pegs on this stand are made for standard weights. The olympic weights will fit on the pegs, just not tightly like olympic weight size pegs.

Any Olympic and bumper plate for just fine on these. I have these attached to my rack and all my plates (Olympic and bumper) fit perfectly to give the rack more weight when I'm doing dips and pull-ups. Good buy!

This bar accommodates Olympic Plates only. Regarding is this bar good for you...yes it is. The reason why is that it allows you to execute your deadlifts with perfect form much easier than a traditional straight Olympic bar as you step INSIDE of it to perform the deadlift. It just makes sense ergonomically. Saw it years ago and which I would've bought it then. Depending on your commitment you can purchase an Olympic weight set for very little. Good luck.

Yes. However I use a bar previously purchased for a rowing exercise. The one that came with the set was not as comfortable though it did work.

No this plate fits standard Olympic bars. Olympic bars have a diameter of 2 inches.

1" curl bars are typically rated for 160lbs, but in actuality able to support much more weight. This particular bar would have no problem holding 220 lbs. Beyond that, move up to an olympic bar.

Yes. It fits on the Olympic bars I have at The Bar Bell Club. BUT - it's a bit loose. Perhaps it's designed that way...Ken

You have to use olympic bars i myself have not moved the catches that you could use for shrugs .olympic bars fit with not much play on the fixed collars

I took a bar tending school and they had these in a 2 liter sprite bottle for practice, so they will work for just about anything.P.S. Don't use these for wine it's just uncivilized and it can cause your beer foam really bad. Stick to using these for liquor. get a jigger make some long island ice teas and you'll look like a pro.

Standards plates have a one inch hole in the middle. Olympic plates have a two inch hole in the middle. So a standard plate would not fit on an Olympic bar because a one inch hole can't fit a two inch bar, BUT an Olympic plate can fit on a standard bar because it's a two inch hole going onto a one inch bar. You can also buy attachments to make a standard bar into an Olympic with a simple cover.

I have a 7-foot Olympic bar and I believe it was designed only for that -- I don't think you can use a 6-foot bar on it. For sure not a 5-foot bar.

I'm pretty sure they will fit on any adjustable bar. They seem standard. I'll probably buy a curved grip bar with the same ends eventually. I've seen them for sale on here and at sporting goods stores.

I purchased and olympic weight set prior to purchasing the bd-7. I have a 7 foot bar, 4 10 pound plates, 2 25 pound plates, 2 35 pound plate, and 2 45 pound plates. I also have 2 five pound plates and 2 2.5 pound plates, all olympic sized and they fit fine on the rack. I also have a 5 foot olympic bar and it just barely fits. So If you go to a sports store, you can look for a olympic weight lifting set and it should fit fine. I also purchased the dip bar attachement to the rack and love it. This is a great rack and I recommend it highly. You will not be disappointed!

These plates are standard sized, so yes, nearly any bar should work with them.

we used a full size Olympic bar. I don't think the 6' bar will fit because of the width of the bar stands. Hope that helps.

I think they would look great at an outdoor bar area, but I would make sure they do not get exposed to rain. I don't think they would hold up very well. They are meant for indoor use.
