PRO Olympic 10kg Barbell (Hard Chrome - Black/Silver - Bearings)

The 360 Strength PRO Olympic 10kg Barbell is a lightweight Olympic training bar designed for lifters seeking a lower starting weight than a 15kg or 20kg Olympic bar. Measuring 1700mm in length with a 25mm spring steel shaft and 50mm Olympic sleeves, it is well suited to youth athletes, beginners and experienced lifters performing lighter strength and technique work.

Weighing just 10kg while offering a 450kg (1,000lb) load rating, it provides the feel and durability of a full-strength Olympic bar in a lighter, more accessible package. It is ideal for progressive strength training, skill development and facilities catering to athletes of varying abilities.

Features

The bar uses a spring steel shaft with a tensile strength of 215,000 PSI, providing excellent resistance to permanent bending under heavy or repeated loading. Combined with its 450kg (1,000lb) load rating, it delivers the strength and durability expected of a commercial-quality Olympic bar while maintaining a lighter 10kg starting weight.

The shaft is finished in black hard chrome, with silver hard chrome applied to the sleeves. Hard chrome provides a durable plated surface with good resistance to wear and corrosion, making it well suited to a bar that will be regularly handled, racked, loaded and unloaded.

Each sleeve rotates on two needle bearings and one brass bush, giving the bar a total of four needle bearings and two brass bushes. The needle bearings reduce friction for smoother sleeve rotation, while the brass bushes provide additional support and stability within the sleeve assembly. This allows the weight plates to rotate independently of the shaft and helps reduce unnecessary rotational force through the hands and wrists during dynamic lifts.

The 25mm shaft uses fine, grippy knurling to provide a secure hand position without an unnecessarily aggressive surface. Dual IPF and IWF knurl marks provide reference points for consistent hand placement across powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting and general strength training, while the smooth centre section has no centre knurl.

Rated to 450kg (1,000lb), the PRO Olympic 10kg Barbell provides substantial loading capacity for a bar of this weight and can continue to be used as the lifter progresses.

The 170mm sleeves accept all 50mm Olympic weight plates, allowing the bar to integrate seamlessly into any existing Olympic training setup. The supplied spring collars allow the bar to be used immediately, while compatible nylon locking collars are also available for faster weight changes.

Training Applications

The PRO Olympic 10kg Barbell provides a lower starting weight for strength and weightlifting movements while retaining the construction and loading capacity required for progressive training.

Perfect for:

• Squat variations
• Bench press
• Overhead press
• Deadlifts
• Bent-over rows
• Cleans
• Snatches
• Technique and progression training

Ideal Training Environments

The 360 Strength PRO Olympic 10kg Barbell is suitable for commercial gyms, home gyms, personal training studios, schools and sporting clubs seeking a lighter Olympic bar for youth training, beginners or progressive strength work.

Its 10kg starting weight also makes it useful in shared training environments where a standard 15kg or 20kg bar may be too heavy for some users, while the spring steel construction and high load rating allow the bar to remain useful as strength develops.
