Is this a 45 pound bar?

I own this bar and believe it is right around 45lbs. It does seem a little thicker than a standard Olympic bar. It's held up pretty well across a spectrum of power lifting routines.

yes this is a 45lb bar (20kg). I would not buy it though.... rusty and not good for anything but squat and bench. I replaced it with a Rogue bar.

They do sell a stabilizing bar if you go to the company website, however we put 50lb weights on the feet.

To be honest I am not sure. It is a larger diameter than the rest of the bar, and larger than my last one as I had to open up the goose neck a little. I think these things are pretty standard though. We are happy with this set.

The bar by itself is heavy. I have used 110lbs without any issue. The bar is solid and should take more weight. If i was going to perform cheat curls, I prefer a short straight bar. I bought the bar because I've torn my tendons and surgery is the only option. This bar allows me to continue to lift w/o straining my tendons.

Hey Aaron, The bar is around 30 lbs. (80 lbs. of plates + 30 lb. bar = 110-lb. weight set). It's about 31.2 with the spring clips. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions! Regards

If the manufacturer says it will handle 45 pounds it must be so. My speculation is tiny dogs are much easier to lift for a photo shoot than a 45 pounder.

Todd, I was able to contact the Total Gym Store yesterday. They advised that the bar should not exceed 300 pounds.

No the bar is built into the Smith machine, and is about 20 pounds lighter than the standard Olympic bar. You should adjust your routine for the 20lb difference

Barbell itself is about 15 pounds. So barbell with weights will give you 110 pounds.

Yes it is a 1 inch bar but it is hollow and it is 2 piece. It's ok if your not planning on too much weight. My son is only maxing 80lbs right now and working with 60. I told him when he can rep 80 I will replace the bar with a solid one. It's a nice starter kit for the money.

So according to my bathroom scale it weighs 48.8 lbs. With that said, due to the shape of the scale surface I wasn't able to center it. As I'm sure you are aware most weights vary a bit from what they're advertised as. For me I treat this bar as a 50lb bar when calculating weight, and I believe the packaging from xmark had it listed as 50lbs as well.

The best thing to do is check troys website for weight ratings. http://www.troybarbell.com/items.aspx?brand=usa&cat;=bar&catnumber;=18&item;=211 but it doesn't show nor does it say on my bar.

Standard, but you could probably use an olympic bar. You'll want to be carefull adding heavy plates one side at a time as it has a small base and standard bars are only 15lbs...it could fly off and smack you if you're not carefull.

Same as a standard 45 lb Olympic straight bar. I use everything from 2.5 lb to 45 lb Olympic plates. I also use the same collars as on the standard straight Olympic bar.

No, my two plates came in two different boxes. One thing to think about though, which I didn't, is simply that most standard 1 inch bars aren't rated past 250 lbs, so it might be worth looking at investing in an Olympic set.

The bar I purchased is 5 feet long. I think the word "Standard" refers to the diameter of the bar. Example: The weight plates are available for 1 inch standard (center whole) or Olympic size which is larger.

I don't know specifically. However the bar is very heavy duty. I have it as a pull up bar in a doorway and it works very well. I have been very satisfied with the product.
