Regular 1" Weightlifting Bar | CAP Barbell (RB) - Regular weightlifting bars from CAP Barbell with a 1" diameter are an affordable option for the home gym weight lifter to combine with a bench press or squat cage or to use by themselves for standing exercises such as bicep curls and overhead presses. These bars are considerably cheaper than Olympic bars and are compatible with regular "pancake" style barbell plates and 1" barbell collars. As with Olympic bars and plates, there are many plate trees and other accessories to choose from that will keep your plates up off the floor. Some plate trees will also combine a bar holder that includes a sleeve for storing the bar upright while not in use. Overall a standard 1" barbell is a valuable addition to any home gym weight lifting program and is a great bar to start out with due to its compact size and light weight.
