Not every space can handle a 7-foot bar—and not every lifter needs one.
Whether you’re training in a home gym with limited space or you’re just looking for a more manageable barbell that still delivers Olympic-level performance, the Body-Solid OB72B 6′ Black Olympic Bar is the ideal solution. It gives you the feel, function, and durability of a full-sized bar—just in a shorter, more versatile package.
Built tough. Designed smart. This bar is your new go-to for everything from bench presses to curls to squats in tight spaces.
Compact 6-Foot Length
Perfect for smaller workout areas or home gyms with limited space. Easy to store, easy to move, and easy to love.
1,200 lb Weight Capacity
Don’t let the size fool you—this bar can handle serious weight. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned lifter, it’s built for heavy reps.
Durable Black Oxide Finish
Sleek, scratch-resistant, and built to withstand daily use. Looks sharp, feels even better.
Standard 2″ Olympic Sleeves
Compatible with all Olympic plates and collars. No need to buy special gear—just load it up and lift.
Knurled Grip for Control
Precision knurling offers a secure hold without being too aggressive—perfect for high-rep training or heavy-duty lifts.
The OB72B feels natural in your hands and balanced on your shoulders. The medium-depth knurling gives you that just-right grip, whether you’re pulling off the floor or pressing overhead. Its shorter length means it’s easier to rack and maneuver, especially in compact racks or garages, but still offers enough loadable sleeve length for meaningful weight progression. This bar makes lifting intuitive, comfortable, and confidence-building—no matter your skill level.

Yes—its 6′ length fits most compact racks, though not all full-sized setups. Be sure to measure your rack’s width before purchasing.
