Bars and Weights

Why add bars and weights to your training?

 Bars and weights are essential for building strength, toning muscles and improving athletic performance. Their versatility lets you perform a wide range of exercises such as squats, bench presses or deadlifts.

With bars and weights, you can personalise your training, adjust the loads as you progress and enjoy durable equipment built to withstand the most intense sessions. It is the ideal solution for training that is progressive and safe, at home or in the gym.

Barbells: versatility and performance

Barbells are the centrepiece of any strength programme. Whether you do powerlifting, weightlifting, strength training or CrossFit, they let you perform a huge variety of movements working every muscle group.

• Olympic bars : Designed to handle heavy loads, they are ideal for squats, deadlifts and bench presses.
• CrossFit bars : Suited to dynamic, explosive movements, they offer perfect balance and an excellent grip, making exercises such as cleans and snatches easier.
• Specialty bars and short bars : EZ bar, Safety Squat Bar, multi-grip bar or Olympic dumbbell handles, to target a muscle, spare your joints or train in a small space.

How to choose your barbell?

To choose the right barbell, you need to consider several criteria depending on your goals and how you train. First, decide on the main use : an Olympic bar is ideal for heavy loads and exercises such as squats, deadlifts or bench press, while an EZ bar, shorter and lighter, suits arm work and beginners.

Next, consider the length and diameter of the bar, which must be compatible with your weights and your training space.

The maximum capacity (load supported) is also crucial to ensure your safety and support your progress.

Finally, go for a bar with a good finish and non-slip grip for optimal comfort and a secure hold, especially for technical exercises or explosive movements as in CrossFit or weightlifting.
