Discs
Today, the choice of discs and plates for barbells is almost limitless. When making a choice in favor of one model or another, the user takes into account not only the quality of the material from which the disk is made, but also its cost, as well as a number of other parameters, including:
- Disc weight - pancakes can have a weight ranging from 0.5 kg to a weight of 50 kg. If there is a need to use plates weighing 100 or 250 g during training, then they can be purchased with fasteners (they will look like washers). The most popular among strength training enthusiasts are discs weighing 2.5; 5.0 and 10.0 kg.
- Mounting hole diameter – most often you can find pancakes with hole diameters of 25, 30 and 50 mm. Despite the fact that the cost of such disks is almost the same, it is best to immediately buy disks with a diameter of 50 mm, since this size is universal. If you use a 25 or 30 mm bar for training, then you can attach a plate with a mounting hole diameter of 50 mm using an adapter sleeve, which you can make yourself from improvised materials. Sometimes plates are hung on such a bar without an adapter, but in this case you should be extremely careful when performing exercises from the floor to avoid injury.
- Outer diameter of the disk - this parameter directly affects the thickness of the pancake. By increasing the circumference of the disc, the user can stretch the fixed weight of the plate. It is better to buy thin pancakes if their outer diameter is large. In this case, it is easier to do deadlifts, and the bar itself, due to the large diameter of the discs, is located high above the floor.
- The presence of shock absorbers on the discs plays a very important role. The cheapest iron pancakes do not have shock absorbers, which is quite inconvenient, since such discs not only damage the floor surface, but also rust. Pancakes with a rubber shock-absorbing strip are more comfortable, although they will also rust if not properly cared for. Periodic wiping with the converter and painting are the minimum measures that prevent rust from occurring.
The most ideal discs are those that are completely encased in plastic or rubber. They are not only pleasant to pick up, but when dropped on the floor they do not leave any marks on the surface.
The individualizing feature of discs is their color and shape. It is best to purchase pancakes by color: 10.0 kg - blue, 5.0 kg - yellow, etc. This will make it easier for you to navigate the kilograms you are weighing. Regarding the shape, you can find pancakes in a variety of shapes.
We offer you only high-quality discs for barbells, which differ not only in their design, but also in weight and coating.
The best barbell manufacturers
Iron King
Russian manufacturer of sports and rehabilitation equipment. The company appeared 15 years ago and has earned credibility in the market of sports equipment and exercise equipment. Iron King guarantees the safety of its products and high quality, despite the relatively low cost. Depending on the type of neck, prices vary from 1,300 to 7,000 rubles.
IDOL Action
The manufacturer produces lines of various types of necks. Among them are:
- Godzilla 20kg competition powerlifting bar, 29mm diameter;
- Olympic bar Tiger, weighing 20 kg with bearings;
- as well as a women's Olympic bar weighing 15 kg with bearings with a diameter of 25 mm.
Cost from 11,700 – 14,000 rubles.
Rogue Fitness
The US brand produces sports equipment, including the men's Olympic bar weighing 20 kg, with a diameter of 28.5 mm, a top seller in Russia. Approximate cost from 13,000 rubles.
Barbell racks or power frame
In squats, various presses and the bench press you cannot do without barbell racks. They will save you from having to lift the barbell from the floor to the starting position every time - this is a dangerous process, and it limits the working weight you can use. The racks make it possible to raise the projectile from the ground to a convenient height in advance, placing “hooks” on each side of the bar that securely hold the weight.
There are a wide variety of racks, from a couple of simple and unrelated ones to huge welded garage-sized monsters that can be found in expensive gyms. Disconnected racks are dangerous due to their instability; If you are not very experienced, it is only a matter of time before a training accident occurs. A better option is a small squat rack, which looks like two racks connected at the base. Some frames allow you to adjust the height of the posts and even the spacing of the hooks, and are much more stable than isolated posts.
But the best choice would be a power frame or “cage,” a system of four or six vertical columns. The power frame allows you to place the bar both inside and outside, and at any height. In a good power frame, the base is tightly connected to the frame, and in the center of the base lies a steel cross, covered with a thick plywood panel. A welded frame may be stronger than a prefabricated one, but the second one is much cheaper and easier to transport and assemble.
A good power rack, flat bench and platform will provide the conditions for you to safely perform all barbell exercises in the privacy of your home gym. Installing safety bars within your squat or bench press range of motion will eliminate the need for a buddy, which is often a major limiting factor in a home gym.
A cool power frame will cost about 60,000 rubles, but they can be found on the secondary market, so look there first. In my opinion, the best load-bearing frames are made from a C-shaped metal profile, but for vertical columns a U-shaped profile is more often used. These are the types of frames that can be found in most gyms. The power rack must have both hooks and safety bars so that the barbell can be placed inside or outside, depending on the exercise and the presence of a spotter.
Powerlifting bar
Compared to the Olympic barbell, a powerlifting barbell has a slightly larger diameter and, as a result, greater rigidity. This is due to safety for performing exercises typical of powerlifting, for example, squats.
The rigidity of the bar reduces the oscillatory movements that occur during such exercises. Only a special barbell for squats is superior in rigidity to a powerlifting bar; the weight of such a bar with locks is usually 30 kilograms.
W-shaped neck
Its design allows you to perform a French press with a neutral grip.
This grip provides maximum load on the triceps. Thus, the main types of bars were considered, with the help of which you can perform both basic exercises and special ones aimed at individual muscle groups.
However, you should not strictly tie different types of barbells to different exercises; the main thing is convenience for the athlete, and I advise you to follow this first and foremost.

What is CrossFit?
Crossfit
is a system of General Physical Training (GPP), multifunctional training.
During it, you perform various physical exercises in a row without stopping or with minimal rest for several minutes. CrossFit is not specialized: it combines anaerobic and aerobic loads, so CrossFit classes
are universal and suitable for all people.
It is ideal for you if you are not going to become a professional athlete, and your goal is to improve your physical fitness in general, maintain health, be strong, resilient, be prepared for unforeseen life situations: you need to go for a run, being late for a train, or lift a girl to the hands, or rearrange heavy things in the apartment, or help parents dig a hole at the dacha... The workouts are easily adapted to any age group for different levels of physical fitness. CrossFit combines running, bodyweight exercises, weightlifting, gymnastics, kettlebell lifting and rowing. Crossfit and other sports.
CrossFit successfully acts as an addition to the main specialized sport. For example, if you practice Muay Thai, successful training requires not only striking technique, but good physical fitness so that your body is ready for specific loads - strikes, grabs. But during one Muay Thai training session it is impossible to devote enough time to both technique and physical activity, so the optimal solution is an additional CrossFit training session once a week, during which the emphasis is on exercises for those muscle groups and those body functions that are most involved in training. Thai boxing.

Standard shaped bars
The Olympic bar is considered the standard. Projectiles based on it are used in training and competitions in weightlifting and other sports. The weight of the bar is 20 kg , the grip diameter is 28 mm, the length is 2.2 meters. The largest weight of the rod that can be assembled is about 600 kg.
The women's Olympic bar is smaller and lighter than the men's. Its weight is 15 kg , the diameter of the rod will be 25 mm, and the length will be a little over two meters.
The junior small bar has the same diameter as the women's bar and the length is 1800 mm. The weight of the barbell without weights is 10 kg. Based on it, you can usually assemble a barbell of about 200 kg.
A training barbell can also be found in the gym. It does not differ from the men's Olympic weight - also 20 kg , but it can be a little shorter, have a diameter of 25 mm and a simpler system for attaching weights.
A powerlifting bar is designed for training with heavy weights, although the permissible weight of the barbell is less than when using an Olympic bar. The usual grip diameter is slightly larger - 29 mm, the weight of the bar is 20 kg , the length of the bar is a little over 2 meters.
A universal bar for home training usually weighs 6-10 kg , depending on the length. There are various similar projectiles on the market that are suitable for different needs.
Diameter of weight plates
The most important indicator that you cannot make mistakes when choosing disks for a barbell is the diameter. Discs for rods have two such indicators: external, which is the actual diameter of the product, and internal, that is, the diameter of the sleeve.
Hole diameter
The internal diameter has several standards, which must be taken into account when choosing plates for a particular bar. This indicator depends on the thickness of the part of the neck on which it should be placed.
The Olympic bar, which is a recognized world standard, has a diameter of 50 mm at the disc attachment point, and a standard training bar has a diameter of 25 mm. Manufacturers also often produce bars with a diameter of 30 mm. The plates for all these bars will have a bushing diameter 1 mm larger so that the disc can be easily put on and taken off, but will not become loose during operation.
On the domestic equipment market you can purchase pancakes with the following internal diameter:
26 mm - American amateur standard
51 mm - Olympic standard
31 mm – discs are suitable for short or curved hyphae, rods of some manufacturers
28 mm - a standard that is not very common in Russia
55mm discs for some curved bars
External diameter
The outer diameter of the disk can have different values. Standard competition discs weighing more than 10 kg most often have a diameter of 45 cm. The organizers of the CrossFit Games during The Open suggested using 18-inch (45 cm) standard discs.
Fitness plates do not have a standard size. Manufacturers often use molds of different sizes for different disc weights; the lighter the disc, the smaller its outer diameter.
Small pancakes can have different weights, the most common are 1.25, 2.5 and 5 kg discs. Their sizes in the lines of most manufacturers depend on weight, but some polyurethane disks of these scales have one size.
