Body-Solid (#OB60B) Black 5' Olympic Bar
Tight on space but big on goals? We’ve got your back.
Not everyone has the luxury of a full-size gym or the room for a 7-foot Olympic bar—and that’s where the Body-Solid OB60B 5' Black Olympic Bar shines. Whether you're working out in an apartment, garage, or compact home gym, this bar gives you the strength-training functionality you need without overwhelming your space.
It’s the perfect mix of practicality, durability, and performance—so you can lift heavy, train smart, and stay consistent no matter where you work out.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Space-Saving 5-Foot Length
Ideal for smaller gyms, tight workout areas, or beginners who want more control. Fits where standard Olympic bars can’t. -
Built to Handle Heavy Loads
With a 500 lb weight capacity, it’s more than tough enough for most home workouts—deadlifts, rows, presses, you name it. -
Black Oxide Coating for Durability
Sleek, rust-resistant finish not only looks great but protects the bar from wear and tear over time. -
Compatible with 2" Olympic Plates
Works seamlessly with all your existing Olympic weights and collars. No need to buy new gear—just load it and lift. -
Textured Knurling for Confident Grip
Gives you a secure, comfortable hold so you can focus on your form—not your grip strength.
User Experience
Shorter in length, but never short on quality—this bar feels solid and stable in your hands. The reduced size makes it easier to handle, especially for newer lifters or those training in close quarters. The knurled grip ensures control during lifts, and the 2” rotating sleeves allowing for smooth plate movement and controlled reps throughout your lifts.
The Body-Solid OB60B 5' Olympic Bar proves you don’t need a massive setup to train effectively. Whether you're starting your strength journey or building your home gym, this bar combines performance and practicality in a compact design.
