Short Utility Barbell

Couldn't think of another tagline here - we just kept coming up short. Whether you're lifting in a broom closet under the stairs (is that you, Harry?) or looking to optimize the functionality of your space-constrained home gym, a short barbell is a saving grace. We took our best-selling Utility Barbell and literally trimmed a little off the top. This means you still get its beloved features; versatile 28.5mm diameter, dual knurl markings, centre knurl for better grip on squats, and a durable black zinc coating. We even matched the sleeve finish for an all-black look that'll turn heads. Obviously, the rackable version is more practical for squats and bench presses; but with its solid 1,000lb capacity, this non-rackable short barbell takes the cake for deadlifts and Olympic lifts in tight quarters. IMPORTANT: The Short Utility Bar is shorter than a typical Olympic barbell between the collars, so it's NOT rackable on a standard power rack.
