Compact, rigid, and built for serious strength training, the YORK® 6' International Black Oxide Bar features a 30mm black oxide shaft, hard chrome sleeves, and 35 lb bar weight. Its shorter 6-foot design is ideal for facilities where space matters without giving up Olympic plate compatibility.
YORK 6' International Black Oxide Bar
The YORK® 6' International Black Oxide Bar delivers a more compact alternative to a traditional 7-foot Olympic bar.
YORK constructs the bar with USA-made steel and a 30mm black oxide shaft designed to provide an aggressive grip. The bar's hard chrome sleeves measure 1.975 inches in diameter for use with 2-inch Olympic plates.
YORK describes the 6-foot bar as less flexible and more rigid, making it well suited for controlled strength movements including squats, chest presses, and deadlifts, while also recommending it for Olympic lift training.
A compact 35 lb Olympic bar with a rigid feel, substantial 30mm shaft, and black oxide grip—built for strength training without the extra length of a traditional 7-foot bar.
