Standard Pump Bar — 1.4m Deluxe Barbell Foam Centre Grip | 28mm or 30mm | Approx. 2kg Bar | Collars Included | Model OK5009 28mm variant: PRE-ORDER — next shipment ETA September 2026 (estimate).30mm variant: in stock and ships now from Sydney. A pump bar is the light, fast bar for high-rep work: group classes, warm-ups, curls, presses and rehab sets where an Olympic bar is overkill. At roughly 2kg this 1.4m bar loads quickly with standard plates, and the black foam centre grip keeps it comfortable through long sets — no torn hands, no chalk required. Rated to a 120kg maximum load with 21cm sleeves each side and collars included, it is the bar every studio rack carries a dozen of — and the one home lifters buy for pump work, rehab and beginners in the family. Key Features Black foam centre grip — comfortable and secure through high-rep sets Lightweight at approx. 2–2.2kg — easy to handle, easy to store 120kg maximum load — far more headroom than pump work will ever need 21cm sleeves each side — room for a proper stack of standard plates Collars included — ready to load out of the box Two diameters — 28mm and 30mm to match the standard plates you already own Which Diameter — and Which Plates Fit? Match the bar to the bore of your plates: the 28mm bar suits standard plates with a 28mm (or larger) centre hole, and the 30mm bar suits standard plates bored 30–31mm. Olympic plates do not fit — their 50mm bore is made for an Olympic barbell. If you are buying plates and bar together, just pick matching diameters and you cannot go wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions What is a pump bar actually for?High-rep, lighter-load training — pump classes, curls, overhead press, lunges, rehab work and teaching beginners the patterns before they move to a 20kg Olympic bar. Will my Olympic plates fit?No — Olympic plates have a 50mm hole and will flop loose on this bar. This bar takes standard plates matching its diameter. For 50mm plates, you want an Olympic bar. What is the grip like?A black foam pad runs along the 96cm centre section — buyers consistently call out how comfortable it is over long sets, and it will not chew your hands the way knurling can at high reps. Which pre-order terms apply?Only the 28mm is on pre-order (ETA September 2026 — an estimate that may shift). If the date moves materially we will contact you with the option to switch to an in-stock item or take a full refund. The 30mm ships now. Delivery Ships Australia-wide from our Sydney warehouse.
