Barbells for an Efficient Workout in Your Home Gym

Training with barbells is the pinnacle of weight training. The popular training dumbbells enable efficient bodybuilding. When bench pressing, deadlifting or squatting with barbells, you can lift significantly more weight than with a dumbbell. If your fitness goals are to build muscle quickly and increase your maximum strength, then barbell training is ideal. Unlike dumbbells, the range of movement is more limited, which means more stability and control when performing the movements. The best thing about these dumbbell sets, however, is that you can freely choose the weight of the weight plates and adapt them to your fitness level.

Which Barbell is Right for You?

In our range you will find individual barbells as well as complete sets with weights, dumbbells and kettlebells. Beginners are best off starting with a smaller set, while a complete set with various bars, weights and a barbell rack is particularly practical for passionate bodybuilders. For those who prioritise efficiency, barbell sets with automatic weight pick-up are also available. These are particularly space-saving and the weights can be changed in an instant.

The barbells themselves are available in different formats. In addition to the classic straight bar, we also offer the SZ bar or curl bars, whose wavy shape is easy on the wrists and is therefore particularly suitable for heavy barbell training. A triceps barbell, on the other hand, is suitable for targeted triceps training.

Barbells: The Perfect Length for Your Workout

Barbell bars are usually between 120 and 220 cm long. Short bars are ideal for beginners, while advanced users are well advised to use barbell bars up to 180 cm. Professionals use long bars up to 220 cm. Longer bars are generally heavier than shorter ones and are therefore more suitable for heavyweight lifters. When choosing a bar, you should always make sure that it fits in the holder provided. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, you'll find the right barbell set here!

Exercises for Strength Training with the Barbell Bar

A workout with barbells can target all muscle groups. For bench presses, you lie on a weight bench and lift the barbell bar into the air. Grip the barbells slightly wider than your shoulders, place your feet flat on the floor and avoid a hollow back. It is best to start with a small weight and increase continuously.

When bench pressing, it is particularly important that you don't overestimate yourself and can no longer lift the training weight back to the starting position. When barbell training with heavy weights, a training partner is essential who can intervene in an emergency and return the weight to the barbell rack. Squats are another classic barbell training exercise. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and slowly lower yourself down. Make sure you keep your back straight at all times and adjust your breathing to the movement. Here too, less is more. Another basic exercise is the deadlift, which trains your back, legs, stomach and bum. Here too, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and keep your back straight at all times. As you go down, lower the barbell until it touches the floor. As you can see, a workout session with barbells is challenging, but also promotes rapid and sustainable muscle growth.
