What is with all the comments that this does not fit an olympic bar? What is the diameter of your bar?

The diameter of my barbell is 3 1/2 inches it just fits around my barbell. If the diameter was even a millimeter bigger then the pad would not fit it.

My bar has a circumference of 4 inches which means the diameter is approximately 1.27 inches. Don't know what the standard diameter is for an Olympic barbell (have read both Olympic and standard have an approximate 1 inch diameter and where they differ is at the weight bearing ends). I have been lifting for years at various gyms and my bar, which this pad doesn't fit, feels no different.

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.

Look at the second picture. See how the opening is round, with notches? Unless you have a very oddly shaped bar, this should fit on it.

it did not fit mine. the diameter was too small to fit around my handlebars. in the end it would cost me more to return it so off to goodwill with it...

I would also like to know the total width of the bar. My only suitable doorways are bound by walls on either side, so anything wider than 35" won't work. I found this out when my Xmas gift of an Iron Gym bar would not fit. Why is this info not part of the basic description? Thanks, Nick.

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!

This should be only used with Olympic type bar. This will not work with small diameter bar. I also like it because it is cheaper then American steel, rubber is of good quality and I have not have had a problem with any equipment bought from Body-Solid. Do not mix with steel olympic weigthts these are used to keep from marking wood floorsl,.

It fits my threaded bar. I have a straight bar, but it should still apply since both use the same standard and not Olympic weights.

To be honest I am not sure. It is a larger diameter than the rest of the bar, and larger than my last one as I had to open up the goose neck a little. I think these things are pretty standard though. We are happy with this set.

Sorry about that, I thought the bar was 36" with out measuring mine. Never fear. The Quality of this item, compared to others cannot be matched. My suggestion is: If you are near a Marine Store or go back on Amazon and buy a piece of 1" OD SS Boat rail 36" long an you will be good to go!

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

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.

Yes, this bar uses the 1" hole plates. All other dimensions are just like a standard Olympic bar.

Yes I use it on my olympic bar, 45 lb one. I also use them on my dumb bells and lat par. hopes this helps

Olympic weights have a larger center hole (2"), and standard weights have a smaller center hole (1"), so standard weights will not fit, sorry because this bar is great.

No this plate fits standard Olympic bars. Olympic bars have a diameter of 2 inches.
