Why choose a 28mm gym barbell

The 28 mm barbell is an excellent solution for those who want a solid but at the same time more practical tool than the Olympic barbell (50 mm). Key benefits include:

• Compatible with standard 28mm discs, easy to find and cheaper
• Superior handling compared to Olympic models, ideal for home workouts
• Very good load capacity (up to 150 kg in some models)
• Ergonomic design and non-slip finishes for a secure grip

Donatif selects only wear-resistant barbells, tested to withstand repeated efforts, even in intensive contexts.

Straight 28 mm balance: power and precision

The straight gym barbell with a diameter of 28 mm is the most versatile in the range. Suitable for fundamental exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses and military presses, it lends itself perfectly to both strength training and muscle toning routines.

Available in several lengths – from 150 cm up to 180 cm – it has a central knurling for a firm grip, even in case of sweaty hands. The bar is made of chrome-plated steel with bending strength, and can be combined with 28 mm cast iron or rubberized discs. Perfect for advanced home gyms or compact gyms.

Curved barbell 28 mm: sculpted arms, zero joint stress

The 28mm curved barbell is designed for specific exercises such as bicep curls, triceps french press, and shoulder upright rows. The wavy shape of the bar allows you to:

• Reduce stress on wrists and elbows
• Better isolate muscle groups
• Vary working angles to stimulate growth

The Donatif versions, in treated steel, are available with a satin black or polished chrome finish, to offer long-lasting performance and a professional look.

Disc stopper: safety and stability in every repetition

No balance wheel is complete without the right disc stops. For 28mm models, Donatif offers:

• Screw disc holder: ideal for static sessions with high loads
• Spring clip: for quick changes during the circuit
• Pairs of nylon disc stoppers: light, resistant and easy to use

Each pair is 100% compatible with the 28 mm Donatif rockers and guarantees maximum safety even in explosive movements.
