For bodybuilding and weightliftinga specific sports equipment is used. Usually they are equipped with training halls in sports clubs. This includes all kinds of dumbbells, barbells, disks and locks for the bar, weights, power simulators and for cardio.
In this article, we'll talk about the Olympic bar, which is one of the most important training devices for athletes.
There are a lot of vultures:Straight, curved (E-griffin, T-griffin). They differ in their purpose and technical execution (weight, diameter). Beginners coming to the training do not always understand which of the available projectile specimens is necessary for them to train.
Without a neck it is impossible to work qualitativelylarge groups of muscles, so its use is necessary in many basic exercises: bench press, standing, pull to the chest, deadlift and others. Therefore, it is necessary to know how much the bar of the Olympic bar and others weighs, to study the types of this projectile and to be able to choose it correctly.
This shell is most in demandathletes, probably, for this reason, in their language, he began to be called "classical." The Olympic vulture is always available in any training hall.
We list the main characteristics of the sports equipment. The weight of the bar of the Olympic bar is 20 kilograms, its length is 220 centimeters, and the diameter of the projectile is 28 millimeters.
It is necessary to take into account the weight of the locks when forming the bar. There are locks that weigh 2.5 kilograms (they are called standard), but there are others - 0.1 kilograms.
The maximum load that the Olympic bar can withstand is a weight of 320 kilograms.
Many of the fair sexare now engaged in weightlifting, bodybuilding, cross-fencing almost on a par with men. But still the shells for them sometimes differ slightly from the men's.
Externally, the female Olympic vulture is similar to the male,beginners can confuse them. Therefore, it is also important to know how much the bar of the Olympic bar weighs for women. It weighs 15 kilograms, the length of such a projectile is 2.05 meters, and the diameter is 25 millimeters. On the neck there is no notch in the center, unlike the male.
The shell for powerlifting differs fromclassic in that he is able to withstand huge weights. How big are they? It is believed that such a bar can be equipped with disks up to 600 kilograms. At the same time, it should not bend (it is made of high-strength alloy).
He weighs as much as the weight and the neckthe Olympic bar. The diameter of the projectile is 30 millimeters, each of them being tested and evaluated by quality and accompanied by the necessary documentation. Such measures are a guarantee of safety for athletes.
Very popular in our time is training at home. Strengthen the muscles can begin gradually, using first dumbbells, which also vary in weight and in technical execution.
To not buy new dumbbells, every timeincreasing the working weight, you can buy collapsible. The set for training can be presented by two bars, four spring locks and a set of disks (1,2 and more kilograms).
In order to form a training weight, you need to know how much the dumbbell weighs. Its weight is 2 kilograms. Locks are light, each weighing 0.1 kilograms.
For home training is also madeUniversal training shell, which looks very much like a classic. Differences - in weight and strength. Accordingly, the price of the fretboard is also lower. It is considered a budget option and has a low quality.
On the home universal grip it is impossible to cling to a large weight, the projectile can not stand it. The length can vary: from 1.25 meters to 2 meters. The diameter coincides with the classical one - 28 millimeters.
Variants for combining the length of the neck and its mass:
For the first time coming to the hall, in no case it is impossiblegrab the first shell, you need to ask advice from the coach. But, first of all, you need to decide for yourself with the purpose of training, develop a plan for classes. This will help to avoid injuries and ridiculous situations.
Do not be afraid to ask.But it is important to understand what you are asking! That is, it is not worth asking the question: "How much does the standard bar of a bar weigh?". This formulation is incorrect and amateurish.
It is also necessary to explore the possibilities of otherGiffs - EZ-shaped, T and W-shaped, Trap-griffin. Their configuration is very interesting, the shells are designed for "isolation" exercises, that is, the elaboration of specific muscles.
EZ-shaped neck saves hands in traction tochin or work on the biceps with a straight grip. The athlete can constantly concentrate his attention on the movement and not be distracted by the inconvenience or pain in the wrist. In this case, the classic projectile is less convenient.
The curved bar allows you to comfortably carry out the French bench press with a neutral grip. Thus, it is possible to maximize triceps.
T-neck. The pull of this projectile to the chin or chest is an excellent substitute for the standard. This is relevant for those who seek to reduce the burden on the spine and work out the back muscles.
The trap-neck is very surprising.Its shape allows the athlete to perform stand-by thrust with the most accurate technique. This is very important for beginners, since the risk of injury during exercise is reduced.
Every athlete needs to know how muchweighs the bar of the Olympic bar and other sports equipment for lifting weights. This will help in the correct attachment of disks (pancakes) when forming the working weight.
Curved vultures in the hall are not too popular.Advanced bodybuilders prefer to deal with the classical form - a straight neck. And the development of individual muscles (triceps, biceps and deltoid) they carry out using dumbbells.
