Frequently Asked Questions

What types of barbells do BLK BOX offer?

BLK BOX offers a range of barbells designed for weightlifting, powerlifting, and functional training. Our collection includes Olympic bars, power bars, hybrid bars, and specialty bars, all engineered for durability and performance.

What is the weight and length of a standard Olympic barbell?

A standard men’s Olympic barbell weighs 20kg and is 2.2m (7.2ft) long. A women’s Olympic barbell weighs 15kg and is 2.01m (6.6ft) long.

What is the difference between a 20kg and a 15kg barbell?

The 20kg barbell is thicker (28-29mm shaft) and designed for heavier loads, while the 15kg bar has a thinner shaft (25mm) for better grip, particularly for Olympic weightlifting.

What does ‘knurling’ mean, and how does it affect grip?

Knurling refers to the textured pattern on the barbell shaft that improves grip. BLK BOX bars feature a balanced knurling depth - aggressive enough for a secure hold but not overly sharp for high-rep training.

Do your barbells have bearings or bushings, and what’s the difference?

Bearings (needle or ball bearings) allow the sleeves to spin smoothly, ideal for Olympic weightlifting.
Bushings (brass or composite) provide a controlled rotation, making them great for powerlifting and multipurpose training.
BLK BOX offers bars with both systems, depending on their intended use.

How do I maintain and clean my barbell?

Regularly brush the knurling with a stainless steel brush, wipe down the shaft with a light coat of oil, and store your bar in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
