Body-Solid (#RB72) 6' Standard Barbell
Stronger Starts Here
The Body-Solid RB72 6' Standard Barbell is ideal for lifters who want a compact, versatile, and dependable barbell that handles daily training with ease, without the bulk of a full-size Olympic bar. Whether you're working out in your garage, basement, or a tight studio space, this bar brings the strength and flexibility you need to stay consistent and make real progress.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Space-Saving 6-Foot Length
Perfect for smaller gyms, tight setups, or home workout areas where space is limited but performance is still a priority. -
Solid Steel Construction
Tough enough to handle regular training without bending or warping, giving you reliable durability rep after rep. -
1” Diameter Sleeves for Standard Plates
Compatible with standard (non-Olympic) 1" hole plates—great if you're building your home gym on a budget or already have standard plates at home. -
Secure Knurling
Provides a firm, slip-resistant grip to help you stay focused on form and performance. -
Balanced Feel for a Smooth Lift
Evenly distributed weight and a responsive feel make this bar easy to handle for curls, squats, presses, and more.
User Experience
Designed for comfort and control, the RB72 delivers a balanced lifting experience that feels natural, especially for beginner to intermediate lifters. The moderate knurling helps keep your grip secure without being harsh on your hands, and the lighter bar weight makes it easier to learn proper form while still challenging your muscles. Whether you’re benching, curling, or deadlifting, the bar moves smoothly and feels just right in your hands.
The Body-Solid RB72 is the smart, reliable barbell that fits your goals, your home, and your budget.

FAQ
Q: Is this bar compatible with Olympic plates?
No. This bar is designed for standard weight plates with a 1” hole. Olympic plates (2”) will not fit.
Q: What’s the advantage of a 6-foot bar?
It's easier to maneuver and store, especially in home gyms with limited space. It’s also lighter and more approachable for beginners.
Q: Can this bar be used for bench presses and squats?
Yes! As long as you're using a standard-sized rack and staying within the bar’s weight limit, it’s great for all the basics.
Q: Are collars included?
Collars are sold separately.
