YORK® BARBELL applied its vast knowledge in bar design and produced perhaps the highest quality, most functional and attractive Economy Olympic Bar of today. The YORK® BARBELL signature design replaces the outmoded bolt and sleeve assembly. Each weight bar has been manufactured from North American made steel, with a minimum of 100,000 tensile.
It is less flexible, more rigid, and excellent for use when performing static, highly controlled, slow movements such as the:
Squat
Chest Press
Deadlift
It is also an excellent weight bar for Olympic lift training. The sleeve is secured on the bar using a bar end nut and spring pin. Sleeves are machined to a precise 1.975” diameter to accommodate 2” Olympic Plates.
