Grip Space betweenSleeves on 5, 6 & 7 Foot Olympic CAP Barbell
I really like this shorter 5 Foot length Olympic Barbell for dead lifts, etc, as I am a 5'2" woman & the shorter length is less cumbersome when lifting the Barbell. The Barbell is a good quality steel in Chrome and lifts easily with good grips.
However, BE AWARE although it is an Olympic 2 inch sleeved Barbell, the gripping area between the sleeves (end where you place the weights) is only 36 3/4" length.
An Olympic Barbell is 7 Foot Long with a 51 3/4" grip space between the Sleeves.
If you need an Olympic Barbell with the 2 inch diameter Sleeve Ends to fit on a Power Rack, I recommend the 6 Foot Length Barbell, as the grip space is 46.5" length between the Sleeves.
