4 foot barbell - bad idea?

Spring, do you have a link for the clips you use? I’m not familiar with the different types. I’m guessing you’re not using the spring clips since you mention a mechanism to tighten them.
Perhaps I blew it getting a threaded bar (wasn’t aware there was any other kind) but I think I’m going to stick with my bar and just see if I can make some clips work.0 -
I seem to recall my friend complaining about the noise of putting the weight on/off his threaded bar too. Whereas with a normal bar it just glides on/off. Sorry to mention it again, but I agree with springer, the time to switch weights would drive me insane.
Anyway, for the collars, the snap kind as you can probably see on any Amazon listing, it's a clamp. When open, it's larger than the bar diameter, easily goes on/off. Push the clamp to close and it snaps into place. You can close it one-handed, and usually you can open it one-handed too.0 -
Thanks for the info, I’m definitely buying a pair.
Thankfully I don’t care about the noise. Just the time spinning the stupid collars on and off.0 -
Ordered a pair. Looking forward to it like Christmas.3
