Bodytone Cross-Training Bar 20 kg 220 cm - 28 mm, 8 Bearings

The Bodytone cross-training bar is a 220 cm, 20 kg professional barbell built to the men’s competition standard, with a 28 mm grip and 8 sleeve bearings for fast, fluid rotation under dynamic lifts.

Sized to the 20 kg standard

Programming in a box only works when every bar on the floor weighs what the whiteboard says. This bar follows the men’s standard exactly — 220 cm long, 20 kg, 28 mm grip — so percentages, benchmarks and competition preparation transfer directly from training to event.

Key features

• Total length: 220 cm
• Bar weight: 20 kg
• Grip diameter: 28 mm (men’s Olympic and cross-training standard)
• 8 bearings for smooth, secure sleeve rotation
• Compatible with 50 mm Olympic plates

Why 8 bearings matter

In cleans, jerks and snatches, the bar has to rotate freely inside the hands as the athlete moves under it. Eight bearings spread the load and keep sleeve spin consistent rep after rep, protecting wrists and elbows and keeping bar path predictable during high-volume WODs. The 28 mm shaft offers the balance of whip and grip that mixed strength-and-Olympic programming demands.

Specifications

Who is it for?

Cross-training boxes and gyms equipping their functional zones with men’s-standard bars able to take intensive daily use — barbell cycling, heavy strength work and Olympic lifting in the same session. It pairs naturally with bumper plates and rigs from our cross-training rigs range; see also the full Olympic barbells selection.

Bar care in a commercial setting

A barbell ages by neglect far more than by use. Three habits preserve it: brush the knurling regularly to clear chalk and skin residue, which otherwise trap moisture against the shaft; wipe the bar down and check that the sleeves spin freely, investigating any grinding or play early; and store bars on horizontal or vertical bar racks rather than leaving them loaded in a rack or lying on the floor, where they bend slowly under plate weight and get kicked or rolled. A few minutes of weekly attention keeps rotation smooth and grip consistent for years of daily commercial service.
