How do I store my barbell?
After your session, you can wipe your bar with a damp cloth to remove any sweat on it, then store your bar in a dry place - moisture is your bar's enemy.
If you have the space, you can invest in a storage rack (ref: 8788246) and store your bars and weights on it.

Our coach has concocted a muscle gain program using this 35cm bar.
Muscle mass gain:
- Chest:
Dumbbell incline press, 4×10 repetitions
Dumbbell lunge, 3×12 repetitions
- Shoulders:
Dumbbell military press 3×10 repetitions
- Biceps:
Dumbbell curl, hammer grip 3×12 repetitions
For each exercise, start on the low repetition range and increase by one repetition per week until you reach the high range, then increase the weight starting from the low range and so on!
Our coach suggests a toning program with this 35cm bar.
Toning:
- Leg/buttocks:
Dumbbell lunges 3×12-15 repetitions/leg
- Shoulders:
Lateral raise 3×15-20 repetitions
- Triceps:
Dumbbell overhead triceps extension 3×15-20 repetitions
Always keep a 2-rep margin and increase the number of repetitions as you go along. When you've passed all the reps without difficulty, it's time to increase the load and start again with the minimum number of reps!
