  WEIGHTLIFTING / POWERLIFTING SHOES

  

  *Buy the Nike Romaleos 2.

  The shoes of weightlifting (also valid for powerlifting) are not like a normal shoe. This type of shoe has been designed for one purpose: to help the athlete lift weight efficiently and safely, improving performance in training and competition. All models are suitable for both men and women.

  The best shoes from weightlifting have the following features:

  • The base of the sole is hard, flat and anti-slip.
  • The soleis wedge-shaped and is elevated a few centimeters in the heel area.
  • They have fastening straps next to the laces.
  • They adjust perfectly to the foot so that they stay in place throughout the entire lift.

  wHY BUY WEIGHTLIFTING OR POWERLIFTING SHOES?

  The main advantage of the weightlifting shoe is that it greatly increases flexibility in the hips and ankles. This is achieved by its elevated sole or wedge heel. For example, these shoes help you go much lower in the squat exercise. Thus achieving a much deeper squat.

  

  This type of shoe is also very suitable for users who are beginners in the gym and do not get a good depth in squats due to lack of flexibility in the hips and heels.

  Another important feature to mention, along with the previous ones, is that weightlifting shoes usually also have a flexible toe cap. In general it is usually a hard and sturdy shoe in its entirety with the exception of the toe. They are designed in this way to assist athletes during take-offs in typical movements weightlifting during take-offs in the typical movements of this sport.

  The flexible toe caps give the athlete an extra boost when lifting the weight: both in the snatch movement and in the clean and jerk. They facilitate lifts at critical points where the heel must be lifted off the ground to remove the weight and load it, and also during the final lock out movement.

  

  In addition, their sturdy sole cushions the impact of the athlete's weight and the load when the heels return to contact with the ground. So the exercise becomes much more comfortable and safer.

  SHOES IN POWERLIFTING:

  Because of the aforementioned, these shoes are also being widely used in the other weightlifting sport: the powerlifting. In this case we benefit above all from their sturdy wedge-shaped elevated sole.

  SADDLES: in the case of this exercise, the overall shoe provides support and stability. The solid sole helps us maintain our posture and provides the flexibility we lack in our hips and ankles. We get a much deeper squat much deeper and more valid in competition.

  

  BENCH PRESS: using the halterofilia shoes to perform the bench press is another great option for both training in the gym as well as in competition powerlifting. The elevated sole gives us more stability by making our legs higher. This helps us to increase our lumbar arch and use much better leg strength or leg drive to achieve greater power by taking the weight off. In short, we will lift more weight. In addition, the sole of the shoes is usually less than 5 cm, the maximum size allowed. With which they are perfectly valid for competition.

  DEAD WEIGHT: in the deadliftthe shoes will help us during training. The small heel will make us start with a certain disadvantage when we take the load off the ground. So when we go back to using a flat shoe in competition we will have managed to improve our maximum mark. There are also special deadlift shoes with flat, non-slip soles that provide greater contact of the feet against the ground, improving our strength. The ideal is to have a pair of each type: use the weightlifting shoes during training (as they add difficulty to the exercise) and use the deadlift flat shoe in competition or when we are looking for a record, as we will take full advantage of the strength gained.

  

  SHOES IN CROSSFIT:

  There are also many athletes who are using this type of shoe to practice crossfit. The reason for this is that the crossfit shares much of the exercises with the weightlifting and the powerlifting. In the crossfit we perform deadlifts, jerks, deep squats, etc. So it is to be expected that this type of shoe will also work quite well in this modality.

  In addition, the crossfit is a very demanding sport that requires a shoe with a great fit, which is robust, resistant and offers a long durability and weightlifting shoes more than meet this requirement.

  

  WEIGHTLIFTING SHOES: PARTS OF THE SHOE AND THEIRBENEFITS.

  FLAT BASE SOLE: let's talk about the flat base on the sole of the shoe. In the old days the sole of the shoe used to be made of wood. Lately manufacturers are making them out of hard plastic. The reason the base of the shoe is flat and hard is to provide more contact with the ground and to help you make as much force as you can during toe-off. Exercises where you will benefit from the force of take-off from the ground are: squats, snatches, cleans and jerks. When you wear normal shoes you will notice that you are not using 100% of the force of your feet against the ground, maybe 90%. The weightlifting shoes correct this problem and will make you use 100% of your potential.

  

  ELEVATED SOLE ON THE HEEL: this is what really makes a difference in the weight you are able to move. You will notice how much easier it is to do a squat with an elevated sole. You'll be able to get much lower, your knees will point outward, and you'll be amazed at the flexibility you get in your ankles. These are the benefits of the elevated sole for squats. People with poor hip and ankle flexibility will see a huge improvement using these squat shoes. If you want to see for yourself before you buy them, place a few small 2kg discs under your ankles when you go to do a squat and you will see the difference. The sole will provide the same effect.

  

  STRAPS: to top off the advantages offered by this type of shoe, we have the straps. The weightlifting shoes usually include straps that will help you feel that feeling of support, that the shoe is completely fixed to the foot. During Olympic lifts or squats you don't want your feet to move and "dance" inside the shoes. You need to keep your feet in a correct, secure and stable position. And for this, straps are very useful.

  wHAT WEIGHTLIFTING SHOES SHOULD I BUY?

  There are several models, but they all serve the same purposes explained above. Some brands that manufacture weightlifting shoes are Nike and Adidas. There are also other cheaper models of weightlifting shoes on the market.

  All models come in Unisex format, for both men and women. Our advice is to choose the model of shoe that you feel most comfortable with and that works well for you. Everyone has different preferences, and even within the different modalities you may want to use one model or another. For example, powerlifters might benefit more from a dense, heavy sole such as the Adidas Power Perfect or the Maximus Gravity Warrior . While a haterophile or a practitioner of crossfit might prefer a plastic-soled shoe that provides a lighter feel like the Maximus Gravity Warrior Nike Romaleos.

  The wraps allow a much safer training for your joints. They allow you to lift weights reducing the risk of injury to the wrists and knees. Gym wrist wraps reduce stress on the wrist bone by supporting the load in exercises such as the bench press.

  There are several types of accessories for powerlifting depending on the material of the wrap and its length. There are certain things that are not allowed in RAW competition (such as knee wraps). Knee wraps in equipped powerlifting competitions may also sometimes not exceed a certain length. This depends on the competition and its rules.

  What you should always keep in mind is to buy material approved by the IPF (International Powerlifting Federation). In our store we have Inzer and Titan brand wraps for sale, which is an IPF approved material .

  Below we will see a guide on this type of material, uses and characteristics.

  GUIDE TO BUYING POWERLIFTING WRAPS, WRIST AND KNEE SUPPORTS FOR POWERLIFTING, GYM, WEIGHTLIFTING AND CROSSFIT:

  POWERLIFTING KNEE WRAPS:

  

  In this case, they are often used for training and also in powerlifting or equipped powerlifting competitions . Knee wraps are usually not allowed in most RAW competitions or powerlifting without equipment.

  Knee wraps have been used for squats for a long time. Practically since the beginning of this sport. In principle, this wrap had the function of protecting the knee joint during heavy squat lifts . But the truth is that they also improve performance and help to lift more weight in the squat (between 5% and 10% more). That is why they began to be used in competition and today they are one more accessory of equipped powerlifting .

  There are more rigid or more elastic , depending on the preferences of the athlete. What should always be taken into account when buying powerflitng knee wraps is their length. Most competitions only allow 2 meter wraps . Therefore, you must be careful if you plan to take them to the competition. The 2.5 meters or 3 meters could come in handy for your training, since they allow you to lift more weight.

  2-METER WRAPS: This is the regulatory length allowed in most powerlifting competitions. If you want them to compete, make sure you know the rules of your championship, since you will probably need 2 meter wraps . Remember that this material is usually not allowed in RAW competitions.

  2.5 METER WRAPS: you can use them for your gym training or preparation. They allow more weight to be moved and can be a safe option for really heavy loads and max sets. Remember that this measure is not usually allowed in competition.

  3 METERS WRAPS: For really big and elite athletes only. It is the longest length that is usually on sale. It allows many more turns to the knee. To train with heavy loads in the gym it can come in handy, since they will not be allowed in powerlifting competition .

  Knee wraps have also been used in bodybuilding and weightlifting (in weightlifting, according to the rules of the competition). Some bodybuilders use them for squats . They can also be used in deadlifts (although they have less effect) and other leg exercises.

  The wraps offer protection to the knee joint and cushion the rebound on the way down the squat . They also allow lifting slightly higher loads. They can be great for your training , even if you don't compete. But remember not to go overboard or use excessive loads that you cannot handle. They tend to be quite tight, so they are usually only worn when doing a heavy set or moving a maximum load. They should then be unrolled from the knee.

  When you use them in competition, remember that they are IPF approved 2 meter wraps, such as the Inzer or Titan ones from our online store.

  POWERLIFTING - GYM - WEIGHTLIFTING - CROSSFIT WRISTWRAPS:

  

  Wrist wraps are a basic accessory for training in the gym if you already move heavy loads. They protect the wrist joint. The quintessential exercise where we will notice its benefits the most is the chest bench press . Although they will also help us keep the wrist much more rigid and better support the bar in squats and even in deadlifts.

  Wrist wraps or wrist wraps are an ideal complement for any strength or fitness discipline. They can be used to lift weight in: powerlifting, weightlifting, crossfit, bodybuilding, strongman .

  You can use the wrist wraps for any exercise: bench press, squats, snatches, clean and jerk, deadlifts.

  There are several types, depending on the fabric:

  -Elastic wristwraps: for amateur or intermediate athletes.

  -Rigid wristwraps: they are much harder. For really heavy loads and recommended for the advanced or elite athlete.

  Powerlifters and press benchers can benefit from wearing wrist wraps to lift weights safely and prevent wrist injuries. That is why it is always advisable to buy good quality wristwraps. Material that does not stretch too much or lose rigidity. All wristwraps are usually made of flexible but resistant material and are easily attached with Velcro. There are several sizes available for sale :

  30-35 CM WRISTWRAPS: These are usually the shortest. They work well for the beginning lifter or those lifters who don't like long wrist wraps.

  50-60 CM WRISTWRAPS: This is usually the basic standard measurement for the vast majority of lifters. The most common in competition.

  75 CM WRIST SUPPORTS: For any lifter or press bencher looking for a lot more support in their joint.

  90 CM-99 CM WRISTWRAPS: Usually used by elite lifters or those who already move such heavy loads that they cause pain in the wrists. Max supports.

  When you want to buy wrist wraps and use them in powerlifting , remember to always buy IPF competition approved ones. Inzer or Titan USA . There are usually many colors to taste: red, yellow, blue, pink...

  KNEE PADS FOR POWERLIFITNG - GYM - WEIGHTLIFTING - CROSSFIT:

  

  Finally there are the knee pads . Allowed in all powerlifting, weightlifting and crossfit competitions .

  Knee pads can be used in RAW powerlifting competition (as long as they comply with the regulations).

  One of the most typical ones that are usually bought are neoprene knee pads (like Titan 's for powerlifting). Although there are other more breathable models for sale such as the Inzer knee pads .

  Knee pads are a very useful complement, as they protect the joint and cushion when bending or extending the legs in movements such as squats and deadlifts.

  They help with the rebound portion of a deep squat , so you're sure to feel that little bit of help when lifting.

  In addition, they keep the knees warm, which is very good for training when it is cold in winter and avoiding injuries due to muscle breakdown.

  Also in the deadlift, knee pads can help prevent the bar from rubbing against the knees when going up and not hurting your skin.

  The ideal when buying powerlifting knee pads is that they are made of flexible and durable material but soft enough to the touch so that it does not hurt your skin when you wear them. There are neoprene and fabric ones with strap adjustment, both highly recommended for lifting weights. We recommend buying a good quality and durable knee pad that really gives you the support and support you need for your training.

  If you are also thinking of competing in powerlifting, remember to buy one of the IPF approved brands like Inzer or Titan USA.

Take a look at this section, because we want to help you to choose them.

  WHERE TO BUY CHEAP OLYMPIC DISCS?

  You will find that most of the olympic discs are cheap, but not as much as standard bodybuilding discs. Why is that? Well, you should know that the olympic disks are more difficult to manufacture than other models of gym commercial. A olympic discus is much larger. In addition, this type of discus is prepared to withstand the tough demands of competitive training. In other words, an Olympic-type disc lasts much longer and is more durable than a standard disc.

  Miara how olympic discs are made:

  Buy second hand Olympic discs o used Olympic discs is not always the best option, since these discs are usually purchased for gyms open to the public. When looking for the best for customers, options such as Milanuncios are not the most advisable. Where to buy Olympic discs? At Depor Trainer we always have the best variety of all types.

  It is better to have an extensive catalog where you can compare all types of plates, because depending on the type of weight sport you are going to perform you will need Olympic discs of different characteristics. With this section, you are sure to acquire the Olympic equipment that best suits your bodybuilding discipline. We will talk about them later.

  OLYMPIC DISCS MEASURES 50 MM SPORT TRAINER

  Olympic discus, definitionWhat distinguishes them is that they are usually discs 50 mm inside diameter.The 50 mm ring discs are those used in the Olympic bars. For a gym commercial open to the public it is much more advisable to install this type of materials.

  • - An Olympic disc has an inner diameter of 50 mm (or 5 cm).
  • - In general, Olympic discs have an outer diameter of 450 mm (or 45 cm). In the competition of weightlifting, this is the official measurement of the outer diameter. However, you will sometimes find on the market Olympic discs of 500 mm (or 50 cm) for training in gym.

  *Olympic discs are always larger than other weight discs for the purpose of gym. This is one of the reasons why the olympic discs prices vary from that of other types of weight plates.

  

  CHEAP 50 MM DISCS OR OLYMPIC DISCS PRICE

  The price when buying Olympic discs will vary depending especially on the material in which they are made. It may also depend on the brand. Certain brands such as Eleiko have such an extensive reputation for years in the market and quality that their prices are somewhat higher (see Eleiko Olympic discs).We found other cheaper brands, such as the olympic discs ManiakAnd other mid-range products, such as those offered by Decathlon.

  As we have explained, the price of the discs varies. But, generally, it will depend on the following:

  • - The 50 mm cast iron or iron discs are generally cheaper. The manufacturing process is simply simpler.
  • - The olympic rubber discsare not as cheap as iron ones. And the reason for this is that the manufacturing process is more complex. In addition, the end result is a larger piece. To this we add that many 50 mm rubber discs are fitted with grips. If a disc has grips and a printed or sublimated logo, it is more difficult to manufacture.
  • - The 50 mm bumper discs. These are much larger disks and are normally used for the crossfit, because of their ability to bounce on the ground. They are the least cheap of all. The bumper is the most complex type of Olympic discus to manufacture.
  • - Shape of the Olympic discusNote that if the disc has a special shape (round, polygonal, hexagonal...), the price may increase.
  • - Polyurethane Olympic discsThey are used in gyms and in official competitions of high-end commercial and powerlifting o weightlifting, for example. Their price is even higher than those made of rubber.

  There are also technical Olympic discs, which are used to initiate beginners into the movements of the weightlifting. They are made of plastic and have a similar price to the polyurethane ones. If the 50 mm disks are of colors, you can expect them to cost more.

  SECOND HAND/USED OR NEW OLYMPIC DISCS?

  We recommend that you do not buy second hand olympic discs or used if you plan to purchase the material for your gym professional open to the public. However, you can always take a look at what's on offer at olympic discs Milanuncios, you never know if you might find something interesting. There are several problems associated with buy these Olympic discs.

  DISADVANTAGES OF USED OLYMPIC DISCS

  • - They are not guaranteed. In fact, a new olympic discus offers you its 2-year warranty for manufacturing defects, but a used disk does not. At Spain, buy Olympic disks is a much safer action if they are new.
  • - You don't know the seller. Buy Olympic discs online is something that should be done at a specialized Olympic disc store that provides a reliable catalog. That is, from manufacturers and vendors that offer quality and have a good reputation.
  • - Used disks are not as cheap as they may seem. The reality is that they are usually a significant investment for a gym. If the owner of the gym if you want to resell them because they have closed, you will try to recover as much money as possible. At the end of the day, it is even more profitable to invest a little bit more and purchase new Olympic discs of an online store.

  OLYMPIC DISCS COLORS AND WEIGHTS SPORT TRAINER

  Now you will see that the olympic discs colors will depend on the weight. Generally, you will find black Olympic discs and colored Olympic discs. The black discs are cheaper, but the colored ones have the advantage of allowing you to easily distinguish each weight. Let's take a look at the most typical colors for an Olympic disc according to its weight.

  • - Olympic discs 0.5 kgColor: white
  • - Olympic discs 1 kgColor: green

  In addition, these are the colors established by the International Weightlifting Federation for official competitions (see the official source). In official competitions of powerlifting are also used colored Olympic discs similar.

  BUY OLYMPIC DISCS ONLINE ACCORDING TO THE DISCIPLINE OR SPORT TO PRACTICE

  You can buy different types of weight discs 50 mm according to the sport modality that is going to be practiced in your gym. Let's take a look at the most popular strength or bodybuilding sports and the Olympic discs used in each.

  BODYBUILDING OR BODYBUILDING

  Basically the aesthetics of the body is trained. The workouts are not as heavy as those of, for example, powerlifting. At bodybuilding muscle pumping with moderate weights and long sets or medium to high repetitions are often used. For bodybuilding or bodybuilding, the most popular Olympic discs are as follows:

  • - Olympic rubber or rubber discs with gripsIndisputably, to buy this model of 50 mm discs is the best option in bodybuilding. They are easy to carry and, thanks to their grip, you can do many more exercises with a barbell: deadlifts, crunches, biceps, French press.
  • - Olympic cast iron discsThe bodybuilders who opt for the more classic or old-school style Arnold Schwarzenegger, lee Priest, Ronnie Coleman o Branch Warren.

  HALTEROPHILIA

  For the weightlifting or Olympic weightlifting, competition discs with the official colors are used. The ones we have seen white 5 kg Olympic discs, green 10 kg Olympic discs, blue 20 kg Olympic discs... For competition they must have 50 mm inside diameter and 450 mm outside diameter.

  • - Polyurethane Olympic discsThis plastic-like material is typical of the discs used in current competitions in weightlifting.
  • - Olympic bumper discsFor the training of weightlifting, many people opt for 50 bumpers, also known as rebounding discs. They offer good sensations in exercises such as squat, , deadlift, the machine is either started or loaded.

  POWERLIFTING OR POWERLIFTING

  This is a very heavy lifting sport, so the hardness of the discs is critical. Since the three exercises of powerlifting (squat, , deadlift y bench press) are static power lifts, it is not as necessary for the discs to bounce off the floor. A 450 mm diameter disc, such as theweight training discs 50 mm or the rubber ones with grip, will be enough to train in this sport. For official competitions, the following are usually purchased polyurethane Olympic discs for powerlifting.

  *IMPORTANT: When purchasing the weight discs 50 mm for powerlifting online, you have to make sure that they are approved IPF. This, if you want to buy them to organize an official competition.

  OLYMPIC DISCS IN CROSSFIT

  • Olympic Bumpers: For crossfit are used in the olympic rebound discs. These are ideal for completing the wods with ease. In this case they can be black or have the official colors. A bouncing disk will help you with movements such as the squat, , deadlift, pulled out, clean and jerk omilitary press. All crossfitters prefer bumpers over other training discs.

  If you have a box of crossfit, buy 50 mm Olympic bumpers.

  

  STRONGMAN

  It is the same as in the powerlifting. The lifts are very heavy and an iron or polyurethane disc that will hold up well is necessary. At strongman rubber discs can also be used. It is only necessary to make sure that they are of high quality and that they can withstand the impact against the floor after a deadlift heavy.

  SHOULD I BUY OLYMPIC DISCS FROM AN ONLINE STORE IF I WANT TO TRAIN AT HOME?

  Today it is increasingly common for people to purchase 50mm (Olympic) weight discs for home training. A barbell with discs is essential in any training program, and the Olympic material is the highest quality. Therefore, it is normal that some amateur lifters choose to invest in Olympic discs for their home training.

  Some lifters also compete on an official basis and like to prepare at home with their own Olympic material. In these cases they usually acquire a cage, abank and, of course, the bar and the disks.

  REMEMBER TO MATCH YOUR WEIGHT DISCS AND BARS WITH A DIAMETER OF 50 MM

  When you go shopping, remember to make sure that the Olympic discs and the bar are 50 mm in diameter.

  The inner diameter of the disc will be 50 mm, and it has to match the bar on which you want to use it.

  Remember that an Olympic bar has a diameter of 50 mm at the end or handle, so that the discs can be placed. This diameter is sufficient and the suitable for 50 mm discs.

  If you want to cbuy cheap 50 mm discs for other bars that you already had at home or in the gym, remember to measure the diameter of those rods first. This way you can be sure that the discs will fit.

  Do not choose a disc with an inside diameter larger than that of the bar. In this case, the disc will "dance" during the lifts and will not be fixed properly.

  ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF EACH TYPE OF OLYMPIC WEIGHT DISC

  • Iron disc 50 mmThey are usually the most economical option, but are more prone to damage the floor when dropped.
  • Rubber discs 50 mmAlthough they cost a little more, you will appreciate their high durability and that they do less damage to the ground when you train.
  • Polyurethane discs 50 mmThey are the strongest and most expensive. The quality of these is total.

  TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE THICKNESS WHEN BUYING YOUR OLYMPIC LIFTING DISCS

  We tell you this because it is better to choose to buy discs with a correct thickness and suitable for what you are looking for. Choose coated Olympic discs if you plan to train at home with them. Also remember that thicker discs, such as bumpers, limit the amount you can place on the Olympic bar quite a bit.

  Both for your gym commercial as well as for your gym at home, you should buy olympic discs. You will need them if you want you or your clients to build muscle with free weight exercises.

  OLYMPIC BARBELL POWERLIFTING - WEIGHTLIFTING TO BUY IN ONLINE STORE

  The olympic bar differs from the normal ones in that its weight is usually 20 kg, are longer (with measures on the 2.2 meters) and have ends with a diameter of 50 mm (to place olympic weights, the inner diameter of the discs is usually larger than that of standard discs).

  We can find the olympic bars in many gyms, especially in those intended for the training of force with free weights.

  There are also professional Olympic bars and calibrated. The olympic bar is compulsory in competitions of strength sports, such as powerlifting, the weightlifting or the strongman.

  They are usually made of sturdy steel, capable of withstanding high quantities of weight (especially the competition ones). Some bars are chrome.

  Ideally, especially for weightlifting, the most important thing is that the bar is flexible and can bend when training with high loads, and then return to a straight position. A good olympic bar must be flexible when it supports a lot of weight but without becoming permanently deformed. The flexibility of the bar makes the movement in the exercise much more fluid and thus improves the athlete's lifting.

  The bar is used to do the exercises of different disciplines bodybuilding, bodybuilding, , weightlifting, , powerlifting... In all these disciplines, a long bar with weight discs at each end is used. In the case of the olympic bar, the discs must be special discs with an olympic inner diameter.

  The olympic bar can have different measuresThere are bars from 1.2 m to 2.4 m in some cases. Shorter bars are normally used in gyms or for learning the technique. It is rare for a bar to exceed 2.2m. The bars can be used in powerlifting.

  In a olympic bar, the central part (where it is gripped) has a smaller diameter than the ends (where the discs would be placed). This central area usually measures between 25 mm and 50 mm (as is the case of the Apollon bar: a special type of thicker bar to strengthen the forearm). Normally, the grip zone is about 28 mm.

  They usually feature a knurled and roughened grip, which feels rough to the touch. This is to improve the lifter's grip.

  At the ends of the bar discs are placed or removed. These ends are made of 50 mm the diameter of the Olympic discs is usually between 50 mm and 51 mm.

  After the discs have been placed, they are secured by means of the closures o buffers security. The closures prevent the discs from slipping or slipping off and falling out. They must have a diameter that fits the 50 mm diameter of a olympic bar. They allow the athlete to make a much safer lift without force decompensation. The closures competition weights weigh about 2.5 kg and count towards the total weight lifted by the athlete.

  WEIGHTLIFTING BARBELL AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS COMPARED TO THE POWER BARBELL

  The bar weightlifting is used in theolympic weightlifting (or simply "Olympic weightlifting") weightlifting), which consists of only two surveys: the start and the clean and jerk. In competition, the goal is to perform the heaviest lift possible; a single maximum effort lift. The athlete makes three attempts with the barbell weightlifting in each of the two lifts, and the total of the highest successful lifts determines the overall result. Olympic lifting is more a test of an athlete's explosive strength, power and technique than of raw lifting strength.

  

  Bar weightlifting professionalIt has ball bearings and is more elastic than a power one.

  On the other hand, the lifting ofpowerlifting is a pure strength sport. Powerlifting involves three lifts: the squat, banking and the deadlift. The lifting ofpower is similar to the weightlifting, in the sense that the lifter makes three attempts at each lift. However, powerlifting is more about moving as much weight as absolutely possible. Some powerlifting federations even allow the use of supportive equipment such as a bench top or asquats(store elastic energy) to help the lifter complete the performance.

  HOW IS THE WEIGHTLIFTING BAR

  A olympic bar of weightlifting for men measures 2.2 meters long and weighs 20 kilograms, about 44 pounds. The sleeves are 50 mm in diameter, and the shaft is 28 mm in diameter and makes up about 1.3 meters of the total bar length.

  These are the specifications and dimensions of the bar weightlifting olympic 20 kg for men (via IWF).

  The barweightlifting the women's Olympic size is slightly shorter, measuring 2.1 meters long and weighs 15 kilograms. The handle is also slightly thinner, at 25 mm (0.98 inches) thick. The women's Olympic bars do not have a central knurling.

  These are the specifications and dimensions of the weightlifting olympic women's 15 kg (via IWF).

  Theolympic bars for weightlifters have a couple of unique features. The first is the whip (the ability to store elastic energy) of the bar. This flex occurs as a result of the shaft being slightly narrower than other types of bars (28 mm vs. 29-31 mm). Professional athletes use this elasticity of the bar in your favor during an uprising.

  The barshalterofilias must also have sleevessmooth swivels. This allows the lifter to quickly pass under the bar without having to release his grip. This effortless rotation is often achieved by using costly needle roller bearings on the handles. Finally, the quality of the Olympic bars is such that they have to withstand repeated drops from elevated positions.
