Standard weight bars ... - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Mo_ · 19-04-2006, 05:30 PM

I bought a york set of weights some time ago. (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/3008250.htm)

Now i want to buy some single plates, but im not sure theyll fit on. The weights i want to buy are 'standard discs' will they fit this bar? Do all 'standard bars' have a 1 inch diameter?

Regards

in my opinion mate they should fit

i think most standard discs will fit unless they state that they are use for an olympic bar then the diameter will be a lot bigger

not sure to be perfectly honest tho

have ya got a pic of the discs you intend to buy ??

My understanding is that "standard" means just that, so if your bar is 1 inch in diameter then the plates should fit the 'standard' one inch bar.

I may be wrong in that but it was something I asked a dealer about when I was choosing what set of weights to get and the diameter of the bar.

I was thinking of getting a 2 inch bar at one time but the convenience of the availability of the plates made me go to 1 inch bar.

Check with the seller of the plates. That way they know you are buying the plates on trust of their advice that their plates will fit your bar.
Also ask if you can return the plates if they don't fit and have the seller pay the shipping cost of the return.

hope that helps

From memory my bro bought the same set. He's skint and is buying one plate at a time from JJB. If your buying online it might be best just to check but i think most bars are the same size.
