York Women's 15-kg Olympic Comp. Bar (32001)

York lifting bars have been around for decades, and while they might not have the elite status of Eleiko, make no mistake about it: many, many world records were set on York Olympic lifting bars, and there are a lot of guys today who train on the bars their fathers bought around the time of World War II. And even if its history is shorter, the York powerlifting bar is no less capable. So if you want a bar you can count on, without a Mercedes price tag, look no further than York. The appearance of the rubber composition plates might suggest that the Michelin man entered the barbell world, but their form is purely dictated by their function: These plates are designed to be used for the Olympic lifts and can be dropped on just about any surface without damaging the floor, the plates, or the bar. This not only spares you the expense of buying regular bumper plates, but also of building lifting platforms, if necessary. These plates are probably the best way to go for high schools, gyms, etc. that want to give the Olympic lifts a try. Excellent value.
