How to choose the bar of the bar?

Currently, the assortment of rods in sports stores is very diverse. Therefore, it is quite difficult to make the right choice. Let's try to figure out what parameters matter if we choose the bar of the rod.

The form

Not so long ago, only straight crossbeams were used, because the producers did not attach the form of determining value. The first thing they decided to change was the length of the rod bar, as many athletes needed compact shells for training in crowded conditions. Today, direct bars of various lengths are produced, designed to be used in conjunction with individual racks.

Quite high demand is the EZ-shaped bar of the bar. Such a shape provides the convenience of performing movements on the bend, thanks to the installation of hands in a natural position. In the course of training with such a projectile, wrists appear in anatomically correct position.

The W-shaped rod of the rod serves as a modified version of the previous solution. This design is distinguished by an impressive bend, which opens up ample opportunities for holding the projectile with various grips. Numerous athletes note an increase in natural recoil during training with the vultures of this form.

Rod size - dimensions

The choice of parameters of the neck depends largely on the conditions in which the training will take place, the nature of the exercises, which are subject to regular implementation. The most common are the sizes of 120, 150, 180 and 220 cm. The majority of athletes are recommended to stop at an average length. Otherwise, you can severely limit your own abilities when performing individual exercises.

The weight

Most athletes choose the heavy bar of the bar. The impressive weight of the crossbar indicates not only the quality of the product, but also its resistance to mechanical damage. In addition, the operation of a heavy neck provides additional load.

Mountings

The castles deserve special attention when choosing a fretboard. Currently, several types of fastenings for fixing pancakes are distributed : in the form of a nut, a smooth bushing and a spring.

With the nuts all very clear. It is enough to put on a pancake and turn the lock. The only inconvenience is the need for twisting and screwing on the attachment, if necessary, changing the weight.

Handling spring locks is much easier. If it is necessary to fix pancakes, they are simply squeezed lightly, put on weight, and then released. However, such a fastening is not capable of resisting a significant load for a long time when the rod is moved to a vertical position.

If we talk about locks in the form of a smooth bushing, the latter are instantly worn on the neck, easily fixed and contribute to the firm fixing of pancakes. As additional reinforcing elements, stop bolts or spring latches can be used here. Such decisions are often resorted to when security is required in the organization of serious competitions.
