The five needle bearings per sleeve design allows for excellent spin and turnover during the Olympic style lifts.

International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) standard knurl markings help you determine even hand placement on the barbell.

FAQS

Are your barbells compatible with other branded plates?

REP’s barbells are designed to work with any standard plates featuring 2” diameter center holes.
What is the difference between chrome or zinc finish and a full stainless steel barbell?

Stainless steel is a higher grade of metal. It is more resistant to rust than chrome or zinc finish barbells and more aesthetically pleasing.
What is the purpose of knurl markings on a barbell?

There are two major standards for where to put knurl markings on a barbell: designed by the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) and the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The knurl markings themselves allow for athletes to set up properly for the lift they are attempting and provide a visual for even hand placement on the barbell.
What is the difference between bushing and bearing sleeves?

Both bushing and bearing sleeves produce sufficient sleeve rotation, but ball or needle bearings allow for a faster, smoother, quieter spin and have a more reliable turnover for maximum loads, which is a better fit for Olympic-style lifts. By comparison, a bushing sleeve is more efficient for powerlifting movements, which are slower and more strength focused. The Gladiator’s needle bearing sleeve design is optimal for Olympic lifts, such as the snatch and clean and jerk.
Which barbell is best suited for me?

This will depend on the type of training you do and your training goals. The Gladiator Olympic Barbell was designed for Olympic weightlifting and mixed-use. If you are not sure how to decide on a barbell, email us at info@repfitness.com and one of our customer service representatives will help match you and your training style with a barbell.
How do I take care of my barbell?

You’ll want to remove dirt or chalk from the knurling with a brush and oil on a microfiber cloth. You also should occasionally remove the external sleeve to oil and fully clean it. Check out the REP Barbell Maintenance Video in the Video Gallery section above for more information.
Does the Gladiator Olympic Barbell have a warranty?

Yes, it comes with a 5-year warranty for standard 15kg and 20kg Gladiator Barbells, and a limited lifetime warranty for the 20kg Stainless Steel Gladiator Barbell.
