FAQ
How do I choose the right 20kg barbell for my training?
Prioritize a power bar for heavy squat/bench/deadlift (stiffer feel, often 29 mm), a weightlifting bar for snatch/clean & jerk (28 mm, more whip, faster spin), or a multipurpose bar for varied training. REP offers all three styles—see our barbell comparison guide for a quick side-by-side.
Is a 20kg bar the same as a 45-lb bar?
Yes—20 kg equals 44.1 lb, which most gyms refer to as a 45-lb bar.
Should I choose bearings or bushings on a 20kg barbell?
Bearings provide faster sleeve spin for Olympic lifts, while bushings offer durable, controlled rotation for powerlifting and mixed-use. REP offers both (and hybrid options) so you can match spin to your training.
What’s the difference between a deadlift bar and a power bar?
Deadlift bars are longer and more flexible with grippier knurl to maximize pull; power bars are stiffer and optimized for the squat, bench, and deadlift as a set. For details, see our guide on what a deadlift bar is and whether you need one.
Will a 20kg Olympic barbell fit my existing plates?
REP 20kg barbells use Olympic-size 50 mm sleeves and are compatible with Olympic plates from most brands; they won’t fit 1-inch “standard” plates.
