why does the shipping weight say 25 pounds? i thought olympic bars are 45 pounds?

It's 44 lbs. (The weight Olympic bars are) Never trust the shipping weight when it comes to weight lifting equipment.

Good question. I never noticed when I ordered mine so it's probably just a typo? My bar was 44.2 pounds. Official weight is supposed to be 44.0 pounds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbell#Men.27s_bar).

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.

Not sure why it would say that. My bar weighs right around 44 lbs, so I guess you get to save on shipping?

Hard to say. The inside measurement on a regular olympic bar is 52" and the inside measurement of the 5' bar is 42." Just depends on the width of your rack.

shipping weight is a lie. I ordered a set of 50lbs dumbells and shipping weight said it was 88.4lbs. I have checked my weights and they are 100 together.

I've put 150lbs. It seem to be fine to me. If you plan to put more then that I would get an Olympic bar. The diameter of the bar is bigger for a better grip.

Probably the bar & star-lock collars are 5 pounds each; that's what I figure looking at other sets. Should total 40 lbs of lifting weight.

It comes with a bar connected to the Smith system but it does not come with the 45 lb Olympic bar and no weights.it comes in three large boxes on a pallet with a total weight of about 400 lbs. I dont remember the exact demensions of the boxes but it was large. The system is pretty great once you get it assembled.

The best thing to do is check troys website for weight ratings. http://www.troybarbell.com/items.aspx?brand=usa&cat;=bar&catnumber;=18&item;=211 but it doesn't show nor does it say on my bar.

i have a pair of 50lbs plates i put on the bar along with a pair of 25lbs...im guessing the bar can hold up to 250lbs, but dont quote me on that

Some of mine weighed more than 3lbs (5lbs.). I got 32 bars. They were boxed separately.

I realize this is a very old question but while I was answering current ones I just thought I'd respond to this one also. Not sure why someone did not respond back when you asked the question...Anyway, there are 6 boxes with 5-1.48oz bars in each,, total of 30 bars. Click on the box of bars (so it will enlarge and make it easier to read), then look at the bottom left hand side of the box. That's where it shows how many bars and the weight of each. Hope this helps; they are delicious if you've never tried them/'my opinion'!!! lol

Maximum weight limit: 100 lbs according to the information I found. The bar itself is 25 lbs.

Sadly, they are smaller now. I received my order on 3/26/2015. The bars are 32 grams each. In the past I received 24 individual 40g bars. This time around I received 6 four packs of 32g bars. Not sure if the size difference is due to the packaging or not. They're still amazing, but next time I'll be sure to check the posting for size.

its the same length as my regular olympic bar . its take olympic plates . it will fit a standard bench . i don't know how much weigh it can hold but i think more weight than the regular standard olympic bar because its heavier and thicker .

200 - you also have to count in the weight of the bar. (Yes, you are correct.)

the 44 weighs 22lbs... Amazon sets the shipping, that is why the price is so low. If you combine product cost and shipping cost together, it is an extremely good price!

This a standard, not Olympic bar. I have only used 25 lb standard weights, and can fit 4 per side at least.

I haven't measured, but this is a standard olympic barbell --not a cheap thin shafted bar.
