To choose the 5 best short bars, we compared 50+ in all key aspects – from dimensions and materials to the details like knurling and bushings (sleeve spin).
The criteria are based on my experience (two decades as a gym owner and coach), but the picks are rooted in data and made to meet different needs and budgets – from beginner to pro, from cheap to premium.
We tested and rated a range of other standard and specialty barbells, you might be interested in other equipment that saves space, like the best Olympic barbells, short power racks, or accessories to complement them – barbell storage racks and best collars.
Editor’s note: This guide is last updated on June 04, 2024. We adjusted the weighted criteria with more gravity given to “value for money”. Based on the readers’ feedback, we also included a non-standard short bar for beginners (the REP Technique).

Our testing and selection process
We always use a 5 step process in our reviews:
- We start as the buyer – most of our team have bought at least a couple of short barbells before. As mentioned earlier, I own an 8,000 sq ft gym with multiple barbells – short, regular, Olympic, trap, you name it.
- We do a ton of research – we collect information on as many short bars as possible and insert it into a spreadsheet.
- We rate each short bar using our exclusive ‘weighted’ rating system. You can learn more about this in the section below.
- We use data to decide our top picks rather than personal biases toward brands.
- We get our hands on as many of the top picks as possible. Our community is great at helping with this.
You can read more about this process in our review guidelines.
We started by creating a database of 50+ short barbells, many of which we have personally used and tested.
We defined the data points to collect.
We landed on 29 points for each short bar – 1450 in total.
The crucial part of the process was creating a weighted rating formula to judge the quality and value for money of each short bar.
Below is a rundown of all the key factors split into 4 groups:
- Quality (30%)
- Versatility (25%)
- Reputation & Reviews (15%)
- Price/value (30%)
It’s a useful read because it tells you how we picked the best short barbells and what each point means for you.
It’s a 5-minute read…
- Capacity and tensile strength of the steel (8%) – an indicator of durability and longevity more than an actual weight limit.
The best shorty bars all have a listed tensile strength of around 190K PSI. The cheaper bars are in the 250-450 lbs range, which might be an option if you’re a beginner on a budget.
The top-tier bars are all listed at 500+ lbs. - Knurling (5%) – the rating awards a well-finished knurling that won’t dull in time.
How aggressive should it be
Medium-leaning-to-passive knurling (like the top-rated GetRXD) is the standard and medium-leaning-to-aggressive (like on the Cali bar) is the exception.
- Finish (7%) – rates the resistance of the finish and how it affects the knurling.
The top-rated bars are coated in hard Chrome (like the GetRXd). In the premium segment, you might find a Cerakote finish (like the Rogue C-70s).
- Build precision – welds, joints, knurling termination (4.5%), – rates the precision of the tolerances and attention to detail. The US-made bars have an edge here over the Chinese stuff…in most cases, that is.
- Spin (5.5%) – rates the smoothness of the sleeve rotation, which lowers any wrist injury risks.
About 85% of all the short bars in our database feature bushings.
What it means for you
Choosing a bar with good bushings is more important than hunting for bearings (and paying the big bucks for them).
Moreover…
Some of the short bars are borderline too spinny for Olympic lifts, with the top-rated GetRXD as a prime example.
You can see Peter from Fringe Sport explain it in more detail below:
Most of the versatility rating comes down to sizing.
- Total and sleeve length (0%) – we did not award points for overall length, but the bar don’t lie – most of the better shorty bars are 5-6.5 feet long (50-62).
For a home gym, the sweet-spot range is 6-6.2 feet. All the analyzed bars in that range are rackable with a collar-to-collar distance of no less than 51.5 ” and sleeve lengths between 8.4 and 10 inches (more on that below).
For most people, 8.5 inches of loadable sleeve length will do just fine because it allows you to load 240 pounds using 45-lb bumper weight plates, and leave 2.5 inches of space for a collar. That’s plenty for all but the most advanced lifters.
With cast iron weight plates, a 9-inch sleeve will easily take on 500+ pounds. - Shaft-to-sleeve ratio (5%) – the main difference in geometry of shorty bars is where the inches are pinched off. Sleeves are typically 10-15% of the total length.
A rundown of bar lengths and what they mean for you:- If the bar is over 6 feet with enough space on the sleeves, it will be long enough for traditional weightlifting and high-level functional fitness if space is an issue (think Crossfit competitions). The Eleiko XF is the perfect example.
- If shorter than 6 feet, the bar will also have a short shaft and won’t be great for Olympic-style lifts, especially if you’re a big guy.
- If the bar is under 5.5 feet, it’s still good enough for weightlifting but the geometry will be off for some Olympic lifts that require a wide grip.
My tip – it’s all about snatches here. If you’re doing them, moving your grip in changes everything. At about 6.1 in height, short bars become a massive limitation and demand a whole new level of mobility. The only reason to use them in this scenario is to prepare for a specific competition that uses a shorty bar like the Rogue C-70s.
- Grip diameter (5%) – almost all of the shorter barbells in our database have a 28.5 shaft diameter, which is just right for a multi-use barbell,
- At 25 mm, you’ll find the women’s and junior bars. Over 29 mm is an axle-bar neighborhood.
- Sleeve diameter (5%) – all the good shorty bars fit Olympic plates and collars.
Some of the bars we looked at have a sleeve diameter of 1.97, which isn’t a deal-breaker but it does mean you’ll get some rattle when lifting without collars. - The few thinner bars that still fall into the ‘short’ category are fat-grip axle bars, like the 60-inch Titan Axle (1.93 sleeve diameter).
- Sleeve diameter (10%) – the majority of the best shorty bars are rackable, and that’s a huge plus.
Here’s my take…
I wouldn’t buy a non-rackable bar for my gym because I’d need to get more barbell stands or have barbells lying around the floor.
What it means for you
A rackable bar is more functional for squats and presses, easier to use, and easier to store.
A non-rackable short bar only makes sense if you don’t have the space for a rack and you’re OK with tucking the bar away in a corner.
Bottom line – unless you have a clear-cut reason, skip the 5 ft bars and go for a nice, rackable 6-footer. Thank me later…
This rating tells 2 stories – how much people like the specific barbell and how good the brand’s customer service is.
Specifically:
- We factor in the rating of the specific short barbell (8%) – to maximize the pool of first-hand experiences and tests.
- We test the customer services (2%) – by asking questions about the short barbells and tracking response times and helpfulness.
- We extract historical data about the brand’s customer service (3%) – this goes beyond barbells and arches as far back as possible.
- We paid special attention to how issues are resolved (2%) – like return and warranty claims.
The price of a short bar doesn’t exist in a vacuum and this rating is more about finding value, which is one of our core principles.
We weigh the pricing rating to balance it with the other factors, especially the quality and versatility of a shorty bar.
Find the perfect short bar for you
Overall | Premium | Beginners | Women | Budget
1. Get RXd Bar
The Get RXd Shorty is my top pick because it ticks all the main boxes at a doorbuster price.
Quality (30%)
Versatility (25%)
Reputation & reviews (15%)
Value for money (30%)
Main praises – what I like
- The hard chrome finish feels aggressive enough for a good grip, yet it’s not palm-shredding, even at higher weights.
- I found the sleeve spin to be well-balanced to offset the angular forces on curls and jerks, without feeling wobbly.
Main grievances – what could be better
- I don’t really have any…if I had to come up with something, I’d mention the extra 2 inches of length (compared to a standard shorty bar).
Pros
- High value for money – you’ll spend much less compared to bars of similar quality.
- Longer sleeves than any 6ft bar in the top 10 – you can comfortably pack on weight, be it cast iron or bumper weight plates.
- 52″ collar to collar shaft- allows the bar to be racked which allows you to use it for bench press, and squats. Plus it helps for snatch hand placement.
- Both sleeves and shaft are coated in hard chrome – this makes the bar resistant to corrosion, wear and tear
- Oversized oil-impregnated bushings spin smoothly – it lowers the risk of wrist injury, and they oil themselves to keep the spin smoother for longer.
- Dual knurling marks – helps you be precise with hand placement.
Cons
- Two inches longer than a standard 6ft bar (74 inches long) – won’t save you as much space as a 5ft or standard 6ft bar.
- Hard chrome is not as grippy as Cerakote or Zinc – if you like aggressive knurling and lift heavy, you might need to spend money on chalk.
The conveniently named GetRXd OBG-74HC is the best balance between quality, sizing, strength and price on the shorty bar market.
It’s 2 inches longer than Rogue C-70S, but that translates to more space on the sleeves and comfortable racking. The C-70S also costs double.
GetRXD is the best shorty bar for people looking to avoid spending hundreds. Its main forte is the value for money.
The tensile strength of the steel is the same as Rogue’s, the sleeves are longer, (making it more versatile because it offers a higher maximum capacity) and it’s fully coated in hard chrome, which means it won’t rust or chip.
Corrosion resistance aside, hard chrome is tough enough to take on the years and keep the bar in mint condition for decades. I can’t say that with a straight face about any other bar in this price range.
At 52 inches of collar-to-collar distance, the 2.0 version of the bar is rackable and much better suited for wide-grip lifts like snatches.
GetRXD tried to get a piece of the pie in this market segment with the first version of this bar, but that was never in the books…what with the short un-rackable shaft and all.
The ‘rackability’ (is that even a word?!) of a barbell is important, because it allows you to store it much more easily on a rack (important in a home gym where space may be limited), plus it opens it up to exercises where you need to take the bar from chest height (squats, lunges, presses etc).
2. Rogue C-70S
C-70S is the pinnacle of Rogue’s efforts in the shorty bar niche because it combines rackability with a black cerakote shaft and composite bushings.
Quality (30%)
Versatility (25%)
Reputation & reviews (15%)
Value for money (30%)
Main praises – what I like
- I love the look – the black/Zinc combo just works, especially paired with the crisp print.
Main grievances – what could be better
- For my taste, the spin feels a bit “sticky.” It also has some rattle, which I don’t expect at this price point. Most people won’t notice it, but still.
Pros
- Cerakote coating – the most resistant coating you can get in short barbells (I’m not aware of any stainless steel bar in this length range…if you are, drop me a line).
- 52 inches of rackable space – this makes it more versatile than the other ‘Rogues’ because you need a rackable bar for stuff like bench presses and squats.
- Well-balanced spin similar to Rogue’s Ohio bar – better suited for Olympic lifts than the GetRXD because there’s no “leftover spin” after the lift.
- High attention to detail and quality control – you get a bar free of any imperfections, like chipped sleeves or notches in the knurling.
- Precise finish and striking print – the white Rogue logo looks crisp and clean against the black matte backdrop of Cerakote – it will add a touch of ‘awesomeness’ to any home gym.
Cons
- Hard chrome sleeves would be better – Zinc is not as resistant or durable, which means the sleeves will wear with time.
- Pricey – will make a substantial dent in your home gym budget
If you want a short barbell that will look the same in a year or 5, this is the bar for you.
It costs more, but it’s the only rackable shorty bar with a Cerakote shaft on the market (that I know of).
If you’re OK with spending a few hundred on a short bar, the choice becomes simpler – go with the ROGUE C-70S. It takes all that abundant goodness of their Ohio bar and packs it smaller.
Note that we’re talking about the C-70S and not the C-70 here.
The one with the S in the name hits the sweet spot in terms of shaft-to-sleeve length balance, which means it’s rackable and the sleeves are long enough even for the serious lifter.
Other men’s shorty bars from Rogue (including the ‘basic’ C-70 and the C60-B) dropped below the Top 5 line because they’re not rackable.
The former is just a peg shorter than the C-70S but favors sleeve over shaft space and the latter is less than 5 feet long. Again, neither is rackable.
Rogue is the only brand that offers a Cerakote-finished shaft in their short barbells. All the others offer hard chrome or Zinc at best or sub-par decorative chrome at worst.
Cerakote is more resistant than hard chrome, let alone Zinc. It also doesn’t dull the knurling and feels better in your hand.
Zinc coating slightly dulls the knurl of most bars and has a “powdery” feel in many cases.
3. REP Technique
REP Technique is the ideal short bar for beginners – it spins smoothly, has a good grip and doesn’t cost a fortune.
Quality (30%)
Versatility (25%)
Reputation & reviews (15%)
Value for money (30%)
I have no first-hand experience with the REP Technique barbell.
Pros
- Weighs only 15 lbs – allows you to start with lower weights.
- The knurl marks and the shaft length are the same as in ‘regular’ bars – once you have the lifting technique down, you can transition to other bars seamlessly.
- Zinc-coated shaft – more resistant than bare Aluminum you often get with this kind of bar.
- Great value – costs less than similar bars from Rogue, but it’s of much higher quality than cheaper learning bars.
Cons
- Lower weight capacity than regular short barbells – you can’t use it to lift more than 200 lbs, and even at that weight it’ll likely bend like a banana.
- 1-year warranty – you can pay the same and get a Lifetime warranty on a regular short barbell.
- Doesn’t grow with you – most people will very quickly outgrow a bar with such a low weight capacity, so if budgets are tight I’d urge you to go with something that’ll allow you to lift more.
REP Technique combines Aluminum and composites for the short body, with brass bushings, chrome finishes and a medium knurl.
The result is a light bar that feels durable, spins slower and feels calmer in-hand to give you more control.
If you’re looking to learn proper technique, recover from an injury, or simply never lift more than 130 pounds, the Rep Technique will be the perfect bar.
REP did a great job of mimicking a regular barbell at a much lower weight (graph below) – from the knurling to the shaft length and grip marks.
If you need to move on to another bar, you won’t feel the change because the kinematics and lift trajectory will be the same.
Bear in mind that this one is just the beginner’s option from REP Fitness. If you would like to learn more about their barbells, be sure to check out our Best REP Fitness barbell in-depth guide.
Last but not least, REP’s customer service is second to none – I mean these guys are lightning-fast. That makes all the more difference when getting a more ‘sensitive’ bar like this one.
4. Rogue C-68S
Rogue C-68S is the best short bar for women because it strikes an almost-perfect balance between durability, finishes, and sizing…cheap it is not, but we never expected it to be.
Quality (30%)
Versatility (25%)
Reputation & reviews (15%)
Value for money (30%)
I have no first-hand experience with this barbell.
Pros
- Comfortably rackable – With 51.5 of collar-to-collar space – you’re not limited to narrow racks.
- Thinner (25mm) – more comfortable grip for women and whippier than a men’s bar.
- Weight is quintuple (a multiple of 5) – this makes it easier to do the weight math and plan your workouts.
- Premium feel – same high-end craftsmanship as the universally praised Bella bar.
Cons
- Price – you’ll have to pay a premium price.
Rogue C-68 is a hybrid shorty bar for women that ticks all the boxes – from diameter and length, through whip and knurl to tensile strength and durability rating.
The functionality aspects can be traced back to the now-legendary Bella bar, but it’s more durable than it (F12-R vs. F6-R rating).
C-68S is the women’s version of the overall runner-up – the C70-S. It’s a dab shorter (both overall and in the sleeves) and thinner (25mm diameter).
Other than that, it’s the same bar as the C-70S.
- High 190-K PSI tensile strength – check.
- Cerakote shaft – check.
- Rogue Work Hardening – check.
Check, check, check…
It’s fair to say that our rating system was somewhat unfair to the women’s bars this time around. It’s because we award points for loadable sleeve length.
I hope I’m not hurting anyone’s feelings when I say that long sleeves will not be as important to a girl as they are to a guy.
Social justice aside, this bar is dangerously close to perfect if you have the money to get it.
Much like the C-70S follows in the footsteps of the Ohio bar, the C-68S takes after the Bella bar.
Lastly, there’s not a single reason why a man can’t use this bar to get a whippier feel – courtesy of the thinner shaft.
If you’re a man looking into this bar and someone gives you s**t about it, keep quiet, blast through those PRs and you two can talk again in a year.
Read more about this in our full review of women’s barbells.
5. Titan 60-inch
Titan 60-inch is not as durable or strong as the top-rated shorty bars but it costs 2-4 times less.
Quality (30%)
Versatility (25%)
Reputation & reviews (15%)
Value for money (30%)
I haven’t used the Titan 60-inch Bar.
Pros
- Cheap – other top-rated bars on the list cost 90-200% more
- Covered by a one-year warranty – gives you peace of mind when buying, which is no small deal with cheaper bars
Cons
- Deco-chrome coating – not as durable or resistant as Cerakote, Zinc or hard chrome. You’ll see some chipping fast.
- No knurl marks – if hand placement doesn’t come intuitively, you might need to mark your grips with tape or a sharpie.
- Lower weight capacity than most short barbells – a higher risk of bending
- Short sleeves – the low 5.75 loadable sleeve length only works well with iron plates – it won’t be enough for heavier lifts if you’re using bumper plates.
Titan 60-inch costs approximately 2 and 4 times less than the GetRX’d and C70-S, respectively.
It’s not as strong or durable as those two (lower PSI and capacity), but it’s the perfect short bar for 2 groups of people:
- Those on a shoestring budget.
- Those who aren’t sure if they need a short bar and want to test the waters with a cheap one.
This Titan 60 inch barbell is not the perfect little barbell by any stretch of the imagination. But the value is there – no question about it.
It’s the only 5ft bar that found its way into the Top 5, which makes it the leading space-saver here.
Still, it packs longer sleeves than any of the competing 6ft bars.
You can probably guess where the trade-offs are – the shorter non-rackable shaft (36.5 inches) and cheap, deco-chrome coating.
If you’re blessed with plenty of space, fantastic – this could be perfect for you. If not, think about this… storage and use are impacted.
So, if you’re not big on snatching and you’re OK with some rust and wear, this one’s a steal. You can see a quick overview in the video below.
We used 4 criteria for our short bar research and selection process:
- Quality (30%)
- Versatility (25%)
- Reputation & reviews (15%)
- Price (30%)
You can find all the details about our selection process here.
The section below is a list of barbells that were close but didn’t make the cut.
For some bars, I’ll include a blurb on the defining characteristics – what got them close and what kept them out of the top 5.
- Rogue C-60B bar – materials and finish-wise, this bar is similar to the C-70S. It’s not rackable, though.
- Powergainz Olympic Barbell – this bar was close to being a runner-up budget pick for a home gym. Deco-chrome sleeves cost it the title.
- 5-Foot Solid Olympic Bar by CAP Barbell – probably the most popular short bar out there with a good price-to-warranty balance. Still, a powder-coated bar was never going to make it to the top.
- Cali short bar – a good bar that should cost less because both the sleeves and shaft are Zinc-coated and it’s competing against cerakote and hard chrome bars.
- Eleiko XF Short Bar – if money is no object, the Eleiko XF is the best short barbell for functional fitness out there. It’s crazy expensive, as we’ve come to expect from Eleiko. Unless you own a commercial gym, skip the Eleiko XF, get a 2004 Lexus for the same money and push it around the block…now, that’s as functional as fitness gets.
- ROGUE 10KG junior – a junior bar that technically falls into the category of short bars. Two problems dragged it down – the zinc coating and the ‘Construction’ warranty.
- BalanceFrom bar – a bar from a generic brand sold at Walmart. It is cheap but has some serious construction issues I couldn’t look over.
- Fringe Sport 15KG shorty barbell – the single biggest ‘disappointment’ on the list. Most experts have it among their top picks. In our value-centric rating model, the hefty price tag pulled it down. Way down.
Other bars that deserve a mention: Junior Performance bar by American barbell, SMIDOW, PEXMOR, IVANKO 5 ft Shorty, and Texas Shorty bar.
Bars that didn’t make it to the top 20: RitFit, Simplel, Kenxen, CAP Ultra-lite, AXLE, Bonnlo, Sunny Health & Fitness, Elevens Oly bar, Sporzon, Troy Barbell, CAP Barbell Aluma-Lite, Torque 5′, Sentuca, Ivanko 66″, BODY-SOLID OB60B, Alphafit, Raptor Shorty 70, BodyRock, IFAST, Newton Fitness OB-72, Weider 6’, HTNBO, BodySolid, RIGEL 5 FT, YESUNEED.
What are short barbells for?
Short barbells are for training or competing in a constrained space because some of them are under 5 feet long.
You might use them for functional fitness, weightlifting, power, and even Olympic lifts. Best suited for Olympic lifts are the short barbells with a standard shaft length.
They’re also a nice way to make things more interesting for your biceps by alternating between a straight bar and an EZ curl bar.
Are short barbells good?
Yes, short barbells are good because they save space without sacrificing capacity or functionality (like the ROGUE C-70S).
How much do short barbells weigh?
Short barbells weigh 15 to 35 pounds, with 6-foot bars like Rogue C-70S on the upper end of that range.
On the lower end of the weight spectrum are the learning barbells, followed by the 5 ft. bars which typically weigh 25 pounds, and the 6 ft. barbells which weigh 30-35 pounds.
The average weight (based on the SHG database) is 27 pounds.
Is it harder to lift with a shorter barbell?
No, it’s not harder to lift with a short barbell as long the shaft length is over 50 inches, like in Rogue C-70S.
If you go lower than that, the shaft becomes too short for a comfortable grip, which might be a problem for wide-grip lifts like snatches.
Can you squat with a short bar?
Yes, you can squat with a short bar, provided that it has 50-52 inches of collar-to-collar space.
A regular shaft length also means that the kinematics of the movement or bar placement doesn’t change. Those two are the factors that can affect muscle activation in squats as per this 2020 study.
How do you use a short barbell?
You use a short barbell in the same way as a regular barbell since the good ones like the GetRXD Short Bar are rackable and offer the same shaft length.
The sleeves are typically shorter but, for most people, still offer enough space for heavy lifts.
Can you bench press with a 5ft bar?
Yes, you can bench press with a 5ft bar as long as it’s rackable like the Rep Technique Barbell.
Still, you are somewhat limited because the only 5ft bars with enough shaft length for racking are beginner bars, and those can’t handle more than 150-200 lbs.
The other option is narrowing your rack to fit a standard 5ft bar, and down to 33-38 inches. Think of it more as forcing variety into your training, rather than an outright replacement.
Is a 4ft bar good?
A 4ft bar is good because it’s a space-saver, and the better ones offer enough sleeve length to fit 300+ pounds of weight plates.
It’s a niche product, so buy one if you’re looking for another training tool rather than a replacement for a 6ft or 7ft barbell. They’re not the same thing.
For Olympic-style barbell training that requires a wide grip (like power or squat snatches), you’ll want to move to something with a longer shaft, like the Fringe Sport shorty bar.
If you know what you’re looking for, a short barbell can be a great addition to your home gym.
Short barbell aka. shorty bar – resume and updates
The best short barbell for most people looking for value is the GetRXD Shorty Bar.
It hits the spot in all key aspects and you pay about half of what you would for Rogue or Fringe Sport.
Rogue C-70S is the bar for you if you prefer the gripper feel of Cerakote to hard chrome and you’re OK with paying extra for it.

Great write up!
You should take a look at the American Barbell Stainless Steel Gym Bar 5’.
I don’t have a Rack so I prefer longer sleeves over rackability for what I use it for: Deadlifts, RDLs, Belt Squats, Landmine Squats, Rows etc.
It retails for $295, and even though it’s ALWAYS listed as “Out of Stock” on the website, it’s always been In Stock when I reached out to Customer Support.
Good to know, we’ll look into it thanks.
