The Charlie bar 20kg is a straightforward, everyday Olympic barbell for lifters who want a reliable bar for squats, bench press and deadlifts without paying for competition-only features. Built tough with 28mm of solid 190,000 PSI steel and able to withstand a max load of 1000lbs, this weight lifting bar is made to take on incredible loads. It features upgraded thickened self lubricating bronze bushing for improved spin in the sleeves, a medium diamond knurling with dual knurl markings and an all chrome finish. The Charlie Olympic bar is a great all rounder, everyday barbell and is the stepping-stone into the world of strength training. It is the barbell you need to start lifting. Combine with a set of Olympic PU Weight Plates or Olympic Bumper Plates and you're ready to go.
What does 190,000 PSI mean?
PSI measures the tensile strength of the bar's steel — how much force it resists before bending or losing its snap-back — and is separate from the bar's 1,000lb rated load capacity below, which is the number that tells you what you can actually load and lift day to day. At 190,000 PSI, the Charlie sits in the mid-to-upper range for training bars, well above budget bars (120,000–150,000 PSI). See our full barbell buying guide for the complete PSI vs. load rating rundown.
