Aerofit Black Beard Olympic Barbell
The Aerofit Black Beard Olympic Barbell is a 20 kg, 2.2 m multi-purpose barbell with a black shaft and bright chrome sleeves. It is built to work well for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting and everything in between, so a black beard olympic barbell is a sound choice for a home gym or a commercial floor that needs one bar for many lifts.
Key features of the Black Beard barbell
- Multi-purpose design: Dual knurl marks for both powerlifting and weightlifting grip widths, with no centre knurl to scrape your neck in front squats and cleans
- 1.2 mm volcano knurling: IPF and IWF standard knurl depth for a secure grip that is not too harsh on the hands
- 8 needle bearings: Smooth, consistent sleeve spin for cleans, snatches and fast pulls
- 195K PSI tensile strength: Rated for a maximum load of 1500 lb (about 680 kg)
- Medium whip: Medium whip gives a balance of stiffness for powerlifting and a little flex for Olympic lifts
- Grooved sleeves: 49.8 mm Olympic sleeves with 415 mm loadable length; the grooves help stop plates sliding off during drops
- Ground and polished shaft: 28.5 mm shaft ground and polished for a smooth, even finish

Frequently asked questions
Will standard Olympic plates fit this barbell?
Yes. The 49.8 mm sleeves take standard 50 mm Olympic plates, and each sleeve gives 415 mm of loadable length.
What does the 1500 lb max load mean?
It is the most weight the bar is rated to carry, about 680 kg. For safety, keep your loaded weight within this rating.
Can I use it for Olympic weightlifting?
Yes. The dual knurl marks and 8 needle bearings suit cleans and snatches as well as the powerlifts. For a dedicated IWF-style weightlifting bar, see the Freedom and Warrior series.
How should I look after the barbell?
Wipe the shaft with a dry cloth after each session, brush chalk out of the knurling with a nylon brush, and store the bar on a rack rather than on the floor.
