Barbells range in length from 1.2 metres (4 ft) to above 2.4 metres (8 ft), although bars longer than 2.2 metres (7.2 ft) are used primarily by powerlifters and are not commonplace. These are a durable convenience item that doesn't require any set-up time like adding collars or plates. Fixed barbells are generally around 1000 mm long and range in weights from 5 kg up to 45 kg.
