Ideal for beginners, 15kg Olympic Bars are also referred to as Linda bars - for female lifters or those wanting to refine technique for Olympic lifts.

Explore our full range to find a 15kg Olympic bar that suits you. Perfect for strength, versatility, and smooth rotation under load.
The 15kg Olympic bar is a really versatile piece of gym kit and has become essential in most gyms. It was originally designed for the two Olympic lifts, the snatch and clean and jerk, but its versatility allows it to be used for HIIT workouts and explosive work, as well as more traditional power moves like the squat and deadlift. Weight can easily be added or taken away and it will help develop your strength and muscle mass.
When choosing Olympic 15kg bars consider what you want to use the bar for and the weight capacity that you will require. You'll also want to check how comfortable the bar will be to use. So, check out the knurling as this will help you grip the bar. You should look for a flexible whip as this allows the bar to bounce at the end of a movement.
The quality of the steel composition is also crucial so do look for the quoted tensile strength which is the ability of the bar to withstand load without breaking — all brands should quote what this is. You should also look for a good finish which will withstand oxidation. Some of the better brands should offer you a lifetime warranty too.
Working out without a 15kg Olympic bar is not ideal, but there are alternatives. Consider free weights like dumbbells and kettlebells and also consider power bars. The main difference between a power bar and Olympic bar is that power bars are ideally better for heavy, slower lifts like the bench press and deadlift.
