20kg the last I measured it.
You might want to start with the shorter one that's around 10.

20kg standard olympic

no lar. i don't mean i can't lift it. just that i was surprise at how heavy it is. i expect it to be light, like 5kg or something. I need to know the barbell weight so that i can add it to other weight to track my training progress. i curl 30kg in one hand.

yep, average bar like that is more or 45 pounds or 20kg

Any lighter and it will snap when lifting > 300 pounds

/k standard everyone has 6 packs.
this one like 1gram to them

Should be able to do 70 to 80 with two hands then.

Got 20kg so heavy? I dont do lifting or stuff but once somebody left the empty bar on the floor so I put it back on the rack. I thought it was about 10kgs or something

That's the shorter version, about 1.5m in length.

you curl 30kg dumbbells? strong e-stats bro

FUKKEN LOLED curl 30KG

standard olympic 20kg, cap ayam less than 20kg
