York Women's Elite Competition Olympic Bar

York Barbell Women's Elite 15kg Competition Training Bar | Chrome - The 32003 North American Elite Competition Olympic Weight Training Bars for Women by York Barbell are made from the highest grade steel with a minimum yield strength of 190,00 PSI. Bars are calibrated to be accurate to within +0.01% and -0.05%. Sleeves are machine finished to a precise 1.975 inch diameter accommodating for any 2" diameter Olympic plate. Sintered-ferrous bushings, impregnated with oil, facilitate free and constant rotation of the bar without allowing counter-rotation of the weights. And a 25mm bar shaft with diamond knurl grip pattern ensures proper grip during all Olympic lifts. Compared to the Men's Elite 20kg Competition Bar, the Women's features a smaller diameter bar (25mm vs 28mm), a shorter sleeve (12.5 vs 16.25) and a lighter weight (15kg vs 20kg).

190,000 PSI

This high tensile strength steel is manufactured in the USA and has proven to be one of the best steel variants for a multi-purpose barbell. Each barbell shaft is ground and polished prior to machining, allowing for a very smooth finish.

The Bar Shaft

The bar shaft is made from precision ground alloy steel and the strength of the shaft is tested with every shipment of raw material to ensure we have a consistent 190,000 PSI tensile strength. This attention to detail also allows for excellent whip and long-term performance of our bars. The shaft and sleeves are finished in hard chrome for added durability and corrosion resistance, and the knurl pattern is crisp with just the right amount of tack.

Women's Elite Competition Bar

The multi-purpose Women's Elite Competition Bar will have normal whip during Olympic weightlifting and enough stiffness to hold for heavy Powerlifting. The steel in this bar is proven as an excellent choice for weightlifters.
