The 2.5 kg Weightlifting Collars are made for weightlifting setups with 50 mm Olympic sleeves. Each collar weighs 2.5 kg, adding 5 kg per pair to the loaded barbell while keeping the plates securely in position. This makes them particularly useful for lifters who want to work with clearly defined loads and a setup closer to competition-style weightlifting.
An integrated inner ring helps protect the bar during use, while the substantial weight makes these collars more than a simple plate stop. When calculating working weights, the 5 kg from the pair can be included directly in the total load.
Secure collars for weightlifting training
Dynamic lifts place different demands on a barbell setup than slower strength exercises. During snatches, cleans and jerks, repeated acceleration and contact with the platform can cause unsecured plates to move along the sleeves. Reliable Olympic barbell collars help keep the plates where they belong from one rep to the next.
They are a practical match for 50 mm Weightlifting Bars and suit training environments where secure plate positioning, precise loading and a competition-focused setup matter.
FAQ
How much do the Weightlifting Collars weigh?
Each collar weighs 2.5 kg. The pair therefore adds a total of 5 kg to the loaded barbell and should be included when calculating the training weight.
Which barbells are these collars suitable for?
They are designed for weightlifting bars with 50 mm Olympic sleeves. This makes them suitable for standard Olympic-style weightlifting setups rather than smaller-diameter standard bars.
