The 47-Inch Olympic Straight Bar is a mid-length Olympic barbell from Proxima Health & Fitness, designed for targeted exercises where a full 7-foot bar is unnecessary or impractical. At 47 inches (approximately 120 cm), this bar is purpose-built for bicep curls, tricep extensions, front raises, upright rows, and other isolation movements using standard Olympic 2-inch weight plates. The shorter length provides better control and balance for single-arm and narrow-grip exercises.

Who Should Buy This

• Lifters who need a dedicated Olympic curl bar — using a short bar for curls and isolation work frees up the full-length barbell for compound lifts; the 47-inch length is comfortable for standing curls and seated overhead extensions
• Home gym owners with Olympic plates but limited space — if you already own Olympic plates and need a bar that fits in a small room, the 47-inch bar handles most upper body exercises in spaces where a full bar cannot reach
• Trainers and gyms needing extra bars on the rack — at AED 399, this is an affordable way to add more Olympic-compatible bars for accessory stations, supersets, and circuit training setups

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bar compatible with Volksgym Olympic plates?

Yes. All Olympic bars use the same 50mm sleeve diameter. Any Olympic plate — from any brand — with a standard 2-inch hole will fit this bar.

Can I use this bar for squats or bench press?

The 47-inch length is too short for standard squat racks and bench press stations, which are designed for 7-foot (2.2m) bars. This bar is best suited for exercises performed standing or seated — curls, presses, rows, and raises. For squats and bench press, consider the Volksgym 1.8 Mtr Olympic Bar (AED 649).
