Compact Olympic Barbell for Women – Full Performance in a Space-Saving Design

Overview

The Bulldog Gear Women’s Shorty Bar is a compact, high-spec 13kg Olympic barbell designed with a 25mm shaft to match the women’s Olympic standard — perfect for female athletes or those preferring a narrower grip.

Why Choose the Bulldog Gear Women’s Shorty Bar?

Designed with the Olympic women's standard specs in mind — 25mm shaft, 13kg weight, and dual knurl marks — this compact bar is ideal for female athletes who need the same build quality and performance as full-length bars but in a space-saving format.

Whether you’re training in a garage gym, running small-group functional fitness sessions, or equipping a studio space, the Women’s Shorty Bar delivers performance without compromise.

Why Cerakote?

Cerakote is a thin, military-grade ceramic coating used to protect firearms — and it brings the same high-level corrosion resistance to your barbell. Sweat, humidity, and chalk are no match. This durable coating also allows for vibrant colours that stay looking sharp over time.

Combined with hardened black chrome sleeves, this bar is built to last — even through the toughest training cycles.
