The Volksgym 1.5 Mtr Olympic Straight Bar is a compact Olympic-spec barbell designed for home gyms and spaces where a full 2.2-metre bar does not fit. At 1.5 metres in length, this bar accepts standard Olympic 2-inch / 50mm weight plates and works for bicep curls, overhead presses, front raises, rows, and lighter squats in confined spaces. The shorter length also makes it ideal as a dedicated accessory bar in commercial gyms — freeing up full-size barbells for bench press and squat stations.

Who Should Buy the 1.5 Mtr Olympic Bar

• Home gym owners with limited space — standard 2.2m Olympic bars need roughly 2.5m of clearance; the 1.5m bar fits in rooms, garages, and balcony gyms where a full bar cannot
• Anyone who needs a dedicated curl bar in Olympic format — many lifters use shorter bars for bicep curls and overhead tricep extensions so they do not tie up the main barbell; the 1.5m length is comfortable for two-handed isolation work
• Commercial gyms needing extra bars — additional Olympic bars for accessory stations, cable attachments, or landmine setups without the cost and space of full-length bars

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my existing Olympic plates fit this bar?

Yes. The 1.5 Mtr Olympic Straight Bar uses standard 50mm (2-inch) Olympic sleeves. Any Olympic weight plate — bumper plates, iron plates, or rubber-coated plates — with a 50mm centre hole will fit.

Should I get the 1.5m or the 1.8m bar?

The 1.5m bar (AED 549) is shorter and lighter — better for isolation exercises and very tight spaces. The 1.8m bar (AED 649) is closer to a full barbell and can be used for a wider range of exercises including light squats and bench press. If space allows, the 1.8m is more versatile.
