WHAT DOES BARBELL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

barbell

Barbell

A barbell is a piece of exercise equipment used in weight training, weightlifting and powerlifting. Barbells range in length from 4 feet to above 8 feet, although there are bars longer than 2.2 metres that are used primarily by powerlifters and are not commonplace. The central portion of the bar varies in diameter from 25 millimetres to 2 inches , and is often engraved with a knurled crosshatch pattern to help lifters maintain a solid grip. Disc weights 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, or flinging the unevenly-loaded barbell through the air.

Definition of barbell in the English dictionary

The definition of barbell in the dictionary is a metal rod to which heavy discs are attached at each end for weightlifting exercises.
