Sorry I'm new to lifting but does is this bar the same thickness as an olympic bar?

No, this bar holds weight plates that have a 1" hole, olympic bars hold plates that have a 2" hole.

I'm new to weight lifting as well but mine I'd say is 1 inch thick and is solid. My order also came with 2 clamps for the ends. Also looking at my order it says 47x1 so I would say that's 47 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Hoped that helped!

I just got it, waiting for plates to arrive, but yes, it seems to be a pretty solid bar...a bit greasy upon arrival but once cleaned up, I used it to practice snatch form with just bar...It's no Rogue but good enough for home gym use for sure!

This bar is sturdy and well constructed, but I've never used the iron gym pull up bar, so to me, a pull up is a pull up. I'm guessing if you get this (or any other) pull up bar, you'll be able to do pull ups...provided you are able to do pull ups in the first place.

It takes standard plates, not olympic sized plates. I searched a long time for this bar and really like it.

Standard refers to the standard 1-Inch diameter. The non-standard Olympic bar has a 2-inch diameter.

Unless you are squatting 100lbs and less, this bar would not be the one I would get if any squatting above 100lbs is your aim. I would only squat lightweight with this (my wife) and me (for warming up and just stretching), so I just clean it off the floor. It is a nice bar for curling and pressing but I think I am going to just go ahead and buy the Olympic bar , so I can only recommend to buy the Olympic full bar and especially if you are buying a rack. I am not sure if that answers your question but my opinion.

Yes that is correct. The 1 inch size not the the Olympic size. I think it is a great bar for the price.

Yes, well it's just a hair under 2", to accommodate Olympic weights which have 2" center holes. This bar is awesome, i have one!

2" standard Olympic bar. Little snug but graphite or grease took care of it for me.

I have not tried to lift 1500 pounds lol. This bar is very sturdy, much more for powerlifting than olympic lifting. With the olympic lifts it does the job. The spin on the bar is good(better if you lubricate the bearing with 3 in 1 oil). Not a lot of whip as you would see in the $300+ bars. Overall it does the job and a fair price.

Please look it up, you have folks saying standard plates work on an Olympic bar ....doesn't make sense, there would be no distinction if it didn't matter...

I bought mine last September. Mine is definitely 52 1/4" between collars and 10" sleeves. The seller, Ader Sporting Goods is saying it is 47 inches NOW. So I did some research. The description says, *Olympic 6' bar, medium carbon steel, black bar w/ 12.5" chrome sleeves. This means, sometime towered the end of last year they changed the length between collars from 52 1/4" to 47" and increased the sleeve length from 10" to 12.5". That is why the total length is still 6'. This newer bar with 47" between collars will likely interfere with my power rack because the distance between the outside of L & R column is 46". So it does not have enough room. But it will be fine for some other narrower power racks. The sleeve length is increased by 2.5 " so extra plate or two can be loaded. I hope my explanation clears buyer's confusion.

No idea mate...I can tell you that this is not an axle bar or fat bar if your know what those are. It feels the same as the bar found in your local gym when benching, dead lifting and squatting.

No, my two plates came in two different boxes. One thing to think about though, which I didn't, is simply that most standard 1 inch bars aren't rated past 250 lbs, so it might be worth looking at investing in an Olympic set.

I have Olympic Rings set up in this bar and usually can do ring push-ups, dips, and ring rows without issues. However, this bar does have a lot of movement and tends to sway when applying more complicated movements. Hopefully this is helpful.

There seems to be a lot of this going around. I wanted to order a different bar, shipped by CFF and it was a 44 lb bar but the shipping weight was 77, so I guess I'm not getting that one.

Luis, the measurement between the inside to inside of the bar rests is 39.5". From outside to outside it is 44.5". The backrest doesn't lay completely flat, no. It has a very slight incline that's only a couple degrees. This bench is designed for an Olympic Bar and Olympic Weights. The leg raise part accepts Olympic Weights only. If that's what you got, go with it! If not, honestly bro, stay away from it.. If you have any more questions about it, go ahead and send me a friend request on fb so I can receive a message from you and I can answer whatever questions you might have and send pics of the level I put on it just to see if the backrest laid down completely flat.
