This is not a universal weight bar correct? I am looking for a standard shrug bar and want to be sure it is not for olympic sized plates. thanks

This is not for Olympic plates. It fits standard plates, also known as 1 inch diameter plates, also known as the plates that are not olympic plates and have a much smaller hole in them than olympic. Not sure what Universal means. Good luck.

As someone who only had standard plates I was glad to find this bar. I'm using it for squats, which I haven't been able to do for years because of a back problem. Great for shrugs too!

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

The bar I purchased is 5 feet long. I think the word "Standard" refers to the diameter of the bar. Example: The weight plates are available for 1 inch standard (center whole) or Olympic size which is larger.

I have a standard olymipic barbell that use with no issues on this rack. I measured the the rack and it is 46" from the outsides of the rack and my Olympic bar is 51 1/2" between the sleeves so I have 5 1/2" for re racking. I hope that answers your question.

I bought this to use at my gym so just used the plates there. The 5lb Olympic plates just fit but with it takes a bit of finagling. If you are looking to purchase weights, then you can find individual plates at any large sporting goods store such as Dick's, Modells, etc. According to other reviews I read, it would be better to look for plates with 1" diameter holes as opposed to the larger diameter holes on Olympic plates as they should be secured more easily.

This barbell is fitted for 2" Olympic Plates only. If it were a 1" standard bar it could be used in combination with 2" plates although it wouldn't be ideal. I would search "CAP 1" Barbell" or something similar on Amazon and see what pops up.Thanks,MichaelMatters of the Cart

This particular model is only for Olympic plates. I needed also to buy collars as the weights will not stay in place. 2 inch collars if I remember correctly. I do recomend this machine. If its not available at this time then it should be back again later as was my case.

Standard weights have a 1 inch hole...this cap hex bar uses 2inch olympic weights. Yours wouldnt fit. Sorry. BUT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

I have the Troy Lite barbell which has a 1" diameter bar and the 1" Lock-Jaw Collar works perfectly. I think, as mentioned here, Olympic bars have a thicker diameter bar.

I have no idea what that means. I assume you are using a translator? Do you mean: "what bar does this work with, standard or Olympic?"If so, this Standard lock... Works with standard bars.

The 52lb and 100lb set use the same size bar, as with anything else i would double check with the supplier. I have the 100lb set and they come with 8-10lb plates per bar, it looks like the 52.5 is 8-5lb plates and will fit on the same bar.

I have the CAP 15 pound plates which the often sell cheap and can get 150 pounds of plates on the curl 47 inch Z-curl bar with no problems plus the bar at 12 pounds gives me 162 pounds. I could probably If I use my 25's with the 15's and other smaller plates I often do 3 inch close grip bench presses (for the triceps) with the 47 in Z-curl bar and can get 197 pounds on there for sets of 12 reps. I imagine if one put 50's on there you could get well over 200.

Any standard plates not Olympic plates should work.I would not recommend these dumbells though .The spin collars are junk and will chip and leave metal chunks all over

Olympic Weight set would be the best in my opinion. you can use standard but the bar could only hold so much.

made for 1" but I actually have olympic plates on it. they don't rattle too much. There's also convertor sleeves you can buy that will make the olympic plates fit snug.

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.

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 do believe the bar will accept a standard plate, so if you wanted to, you probably could use 25lbs rather then the 10lbs plates. I have not tried to any larger plates myself, but am getting to the point that I could use a bit more, only thing would be the depth that your hand would be in and I do find that at times my forearm rubs against the 10lb plate as it is.
