Well back to the second part of our guide on how to build a low cost home gym with a reduced budget, in the first part of our guide, we talked about Rack and rubber floor. Today we will talk about barbells. Yes, essential accessory in every home gym that respects.
We start from the basics and we hypothetically divide the choice of the barbell bar according to the sport and the type of home gym you want to build. Essentially there are different barbells for different disciplines. Their natural conformation and some characteristics such as :
- Knurling
- Elasticity
- Rotation
They change depending on the type of sport you practice and are called specialized barbells. Not infrequently, however, there are barbells that can be used for all these types of sports such as Weightlifting, Powerlifting, Crossfit.
We start from this kind of barbell available for both men and women. These Olympic barbells can be considered “hybrids” or rather non-specialized, thanks to the intrinsic properties they possess, they can be used both for powerlifting and for weightlifting and crossfit or crosstraining.
