The perfect foundation for building lifting confidence and form

The York Barbell Olympic Technique Barbell is a must-have tool for anyone focused on developing proper lifting mechanics. Made from lightweight aluminium, it weighs just 6.8 kg, making it the ideal bar for beginners, youth athletes, and those focused on refining technique with lighter loads.
