A barbell is a piece of exercise equipment used in weight training, bodybuilding, weightlifting and power lifting, consisting of a long bar, usually with weights attached at each end.

​

Barbells range in length from 4 feet to above 8 feet, although bars longer than 2.2 metres are used primarily by power lifters and are not commonplace. The central portion of the bar varies in diameter from 25 millimetres to 2 inches (e.g. Apollon's Axle), and is often engraved with a knurled crosshatch pattern to help lifters maintain a solid grip. Weight plates are slid onto the outer portions of the bar to increase or decrease the desired total weight. These weights are often secured with collars to prevent them from sliding off during the exercise, which can result in injuries and death, or flinging the unevenly loaded barbell through the air.
