I purchased the Olympic plates today. I need to purchase a bar. Which one do I need? It’s for a teenager football player.
Thanks for your question! We would recommend the OB-86-750B or the OB-80-W - they are currently both in stock. The OB-80-W does say "women's" but it's just due to the fact it has a lighter capacity and no center knurling.
You can refer to our barbell comparison chart for the differences. -
