USI Universal Olympic Barbell Black Sleeve (Ares) – OB500

Description

An Ares Olympic barbell made from alloy steel is a specialized weightlifting bar designed for Olympic-style weightlifting and powerlifting. Here are the main features associated with an alloy steel Ares Olympic barbell:

1. Alloy Steel Construction: The Ares Olympic barbell is crafted from alloy steel, a durable and sturdy material known for its strength and resilience. Alloy steel offers high tensile strength, making it suitable for heavy lifting and repetitive use without bending or warping.
2. Dual Knurling Patterns: The barbell features knurling, which is the textured grip area on the bar. Ares Olympic barbells usually have dual knurling patterns: a center knurl for grip during squats and two outer knurled areas for hand placement during deadlifts, bench presses, and Olympic lifts.
3. Center Knurling: The center knurling, if present, provides additional grip for squats by preventing the bar from sliding down the lifter’s back.
4. Sleeves and Bearings: The sleeves at each end of the barbell typically rotate using needle bearings or bushings, allowing smoother spin during movements like cleans and snatches. This rotation reduces stress on the lifter’s wrists and provides a more natural feel during Olympic lifts.
5. Tensile Strength and Weight Capacity: Alloy steel Ares Olympic barbells usually have high tensile strength ratings, indicating their ability to handle heavy loads. They are capable of accommodating weightlifting loads commonly used in powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting competitions.
