You probably saw some CrossFitter performing some REALLY strange (and maybe even scary) lifts and got curious...
...or you overheard the loud grunting and occasional scream from the free weight area (again) and are still perplexed how those guys can be THAT strong.
If either of these describes you, you'll learn A LOT more about these curiosities by reading up about Olympic weightlifting and/or powerlifting.
Whether you're just starting in these competitive, heavy barbell disciplines or you're looking for information that will give you an edge in your next meet, we think you'll find what you need here.
There is always going to be a degree of personal preference involved with barbell selection.

Your training priorities will dictate whether you’ll want a power (or powerlifting) barbell or an Olympic (or Olympic weightlifting) barbell.
