FAQs

What is the weight of an Olympic barbell?

A standard Olympic barbell weight is typically 20kg, though we also offer 15kg barbells, 10kg Olympic barbells, and other variations.

Are all weight plates the same size?

No. Olympic weights use a 50mm diameter hole. Make sure you're pairing Olympic bar plates with an actual Olympic barbell to ensure safety and compatibility.

What are Olympic weights good for?

Olympic weightlifting bars and plates are ideal for progressive overload, strength building, and compound lifts. They're used by beginners and pros alike.

Do I need a full Olympic barbell set for home use?

Not necessarily. You can start with a bar and weight set, then add Olympic barbell plates as you get stronger. A 100kg Olympic weight set is a great starting point.

Is Braingain a trusted barbell company?

Yes. Our Braingain UK brand is known for providing high-quality strength equipment, from Olympic lifting bars to smart dumbbells and weight plates bundles. Check our reviews on our Trustpilot Profile.

What is the difference between Olympic plates and regular plates?

Olympic plates have a 50mm hole and are designed for Olympic barbells, whereas regular plates usually have a smaller hole (around 25mm) and are not compatible with Olympic bars.

Are 20kg plates actually 20kg?

Yes, our Olympic plates 20kg are calibrated to meet industry standards for accurate weight. Precision is key, especially when training at higher intensities.

Do all Olympic bars weigh 20kg?

Most standard Olympic bars weigh 20kg, but there are variations like 15kg or 10kg bars designed for different training needs, user levels, or competition standards.
