Will the plate storage pegs accommodate standard (1") plates or only Olympic?

They accommodate standard plates. I purchased a plastic olympic sleeve and placed over the standard peg for my weights.

I don't think so. They have a one inch hole. My Olympic bar has two inch ends.

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

It does use olympic plates, it does fit my rack i would say it fits most olympic benches but I can't say for sure, I'd say it can handle about any weight you put on there it is a heavy duty bar it weighs 60 lbs, and it is 7 ft long.

The pegs are 3.25 inches tall and just over 1 inch apart. I think a slot would hold 2 or 3 plates.

Yeah, the plates are 1". I don't think that any old standard plates would work with the handles though. Or they might, but the fit would suck and you'd have a potentially hazardous situation on your hands. The Ironmaster handles are designed for their square plates, and not the usual round plates. And, if you want to use the weight plates on a standard bar, Ironmaster sells a bar for use specifically for the weight plates. You might have to check out the max weight on the Ironmaster standard bar though. It might not hold enough for you.

We bought the Olympic bar and 300lbs of plates at Sears. So far from what I've seen, any Olympic weight set should work. The holes in the middle of the weights have fit so far from Sears and Sports Authority I think as long as they are Olympic ones.

For those still checking --It will use either although it is designed for 1" . You either buy the adapter, make your own adapter with some PVC and pipe insulation, use one 1" plate at the bottom on each post as a washer or put up with Olympic plates moving a bit.

No, my two plates came in two different boxes. One thing to think about though, which I didn't, is simply that most standard 1 inch bars aren't rated past 250 lbs, so it might be worth looking at investing in an Olympic set.

Yes; this bar was designed for standard sized plates. That was very smart of you to ask before buying. Hope you like the bar; I am very happy with it to this day.

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

Any Olympic and bumper plate for just fine on these. I have these attached to my rack and all my plates (Olympic and bumper) fit perfectly to give the rack more weight when I'm doing dips and pull-ups. Good buy!

If the holes of the plates you have measure 1 inch in diameter, than yes they will fit. However, if they are the standard Olympic plates with the 2 inch diameter holes, then they won't fit. Measure the holes on your plates to ensure that they are the 1 inch in diameter holes and you are good to go with this bar.

Well Richard, if your talking standard plates they go up to 25 lbs, and yes that bar can hold them, they can also hold Olympic Plates (all sizes) you just have to get adapter sleeves for the bar and you'll be able to fit them on each end.

NO, they will not. These weights are appropriate for non-Olympic one inch bars only. If you have an Olympic set you must buy Olympic plates. However, these plates nonetheless are of professional quality as good as any non-Olympic weights you will find in any gym.

Standard plates (the ones that fit this particular bar) don't usually come in 45 lb configurations. That size is usually associated with the Olympic (2") bar. The weight plate that does fit this bar is the 50 lb one and by own estimation, the bar should easily accommodate at least five on each side. Hope this helps...

No, it is specifically made for plates. There is only about 1/2 inch of available space to fit a plate.
