Short Barbell

Short Rackable Barbells – Compact Power, Full Olympic Function

Description

Train like a pro—no matter your space. The Valor Fitness Shorty Barbells deliver the full performance of a standard Olympic bar in a compact, rackable design perfect for home gyms, competition lanes, and tight training spaces. Available in 68" and 72" lengths, each bar keeps the 51.5–52" rackable space you need while saving up to 14" compared to a standard barbell.

Built from high-tensile steel with smooth needle-bearing rotation and balanced medium knurling, these short barbells are ideal for cycling lifts, competition prep, or daily strength training—without sacrificing form or feel.

Key Features & Benefits

• Space-Saving Design – Shorter length (68" or 72") means easier maneuvering in small gyms, garage setups, or crowded weight rooms—while maintaining standard racking width.

• Fully Rackable – Olympic spacing between sleeves (51.5–52") ensures compatibility with most squat racks, rigs, and stands.

• Smooth Rotation – Each sleeve features 2 needle bearings + 1 bushing for fluid spin, helping you transition quickly in snatches, cleans, and other dynamic lifts.

• Durable Strength – Constructed from 150k–165k PSI tensile strength steel, supporting 250–350 lb depending on model.

• Grip Without Grind – Medium knurling with dual knurl-free guide marks for control, minus the abrasiveness of aggressive knurl.

• Optimized Sleeve Length – 7–9" etched loadable sleeves keep plates secure without excess space.

⚠ Note: Not intended for max-effort 1RM lifts.
