I know the usual long bar that you load weights on is 45 lbs. I noticed my gym today has a similar one that is shorter (which I find I can have more control over) anyone know what something like that may weigh??

Does it fit olympic weights?
That maybe a women's olympic bar, and from what I understand they weigh like 33-35 pounds. I've never actually seen one though, so that's just a guess.0 -
How much shorter? here is an image comparing the 15 kg and the 20 kg barbell. with measurements of the knurl and all in millimeters. The men's is used by men in Olympic weightlifting and the women's is used by women in Olympic weightlifting.
