Short Barbell Inspired by the Competition Floor
The Short Sleeve Competition Bar is Valor’s newest addition to the competition equipment family. This 68” rackable competition “shorty” bar offers 51.5” between sleeves allowing athletes perform Olympic movements such as snatches and other movements that would require a full-length barbell for proper hand placement. Developed with the increased use of shorty bars being used in competitions, this small barbell allows you to train for the competition floor. The short sleeve barbell can be racked on most standard power racks, rigs, and squat stands.
Features and Benefits
- SPACE SAVER: This small barbell measures at a space saving 68” in length to allow training in tight quarters, whether it is a small garage gym or busy training facility. The compact design saves 12” versus a full-length women’s bar.
- COMPETITION INSPIRED: Ideal for competition training, metcon’s, and barbell cycling.
- SMOOTH ROTATION: 2 needle bearings and a bushing per sleeve to ensure enhanced spin and superior rotation allowing you to get under the bar quickly when cycling your Olympic lifts such as the snatch and clean & jerk without changing hand position, preventing injury.
- KNURLED: Medium knurling with dual knurl free guide marks to ensure a strong, firm grip on the barbell during training. No center knurl.
- ADDITIONAL: 25 mm diameter, measuring 68” in length. Max weight capacity of 250 lb with 165,000 PSI tensile strength. 7” of loadable etched sleeve length. Bar weighs 26 lbs.
Please note that the short barbell should not be used during max effort lifts.

I recently bought a squat rack from you. I believe it’s the BD-4. Does it accommodate this bar? Thank you
Yes, the BD-4 is compatible with the women's 68" barbell.
The squat rack has a total width of 47". The distance of the bar from collar to collar measures to be 51". Please review the photo below. So, the barbell will sit just fine on the BD-4 Squat Rack. Hope that helps!
