Overview
Specification-based profile. We have not tested this product hands-on and do not give it a review score. How we research.
BodyMax's drawing gives 1.828 m overall and 1.178 m between the collars, with a 28 mm grip and 49.5 mm sleeves for 2 in plates. The spec table gives the bar's weight as 14 kg.
The 113 kg (250 lb) maximum load is low, and BodyMax says the bar is not suitable for dropping in CrossFit or competition-style lifting. The 1.178 m inner length is narrower than many racks and benches, so check it against your uprights before buying.

Sources & checks
Checked 9 Oct 2026. Manufacturer specifications are claims, not independent test results. Retailer listings can change. What the specification labels mean.
- BodyMax 6ft Olympic Barbell: product specifications (Fitshop (Sport-Tiedje, BodyMax brand owner))
- Amazon UK listing: WTBC0031 (MPN WFOB-72C), chrome, bar only (Amazon UK)
Before ordering
- 9 October 2026: Amazon UK B001QT050Y?th=1&psc=1 showed an Add to Basket featured offer sold by Fitshop UK (only 4 left in stock). No import or Global Store offer; checkout not tested.
- Identity: Amazon part number WTBC0031 matches Fitshop's SKU. The barcodes differ (Amazon GTIN 05060125403075, Fitshop 5056359105700), so the match rests on the SKU, the 6 ft Olympic chrome bar and the matching photograph.
- Amazon's title claims 272 kg / 600 lb; BodyMax's page states 113 kg / 250 lb. Only the brand page is used.
- Listing image rule check, 9 October 2026: the single gallery image is product-only; the listing has no A+ or brand panels.
