Olympic bars are just short of 2â³ diameter on the ends (actually 1 31/32â³, or 50mm). As such, they will only take olympic weight plates, which have 2â³ diameter holes. These actually can also be divided up into weightlifting and powerlifting bars. Standard bars are 1â³ in diameter on both the middle shaft and the ends. They are made to take Standard weight plates. You donât want to put olympic weight plates on them because they will be sloppy and will swing around. See our comparison of the best powerlifting bars and the same for weightifting bars.
