🏋️‍♂️ **** – RitFit Elite 7 ft Olympic Barbell

The RitFit Elite 7 ft Olympic Barbell is a versatile, heavy-duty barbell designed for strength training, Olympic lifts, and powerlifting in home or garage gyms. It’s built to handle serious loads while offering smooth rotation and a secure grip, making it a staple barbell choice alongside a power rack setup.

🧱 Key Features

📏 Professional-Length Olympic Bar

• Length: ~7 ft (≈ 2200 mm / 86.6 ″) — standard size for most racks and benches.
• Weight: ~20 kg (~44 lb), the standard weight for Olympic bars.
• Diameter: ~28 mm shaft — balances grip comfort and strength performance.
• Sleeves: Designed for 2″ Olympic weight plates (plates and collars not included).

🔩 Smooth Rotation & Reliable Performance

• Needle bearings in the sleeves (vs. plain bushings) deliver a fluid, quieter spin during dynamic lifts like snatches, cleans, and presses — ideal for Olympic and powerlifting movements.
• Medium volcano-style knurling offers a secure grip without overly aggressive feel — comfortable for high-rep sessions and heavy singles.

🏋️‍♂️ Heavy Load Capacity

The RitFit Elite model targets serious lifting with high maximum load ratings — up to ~1200 lb or more depending on the spec variant, giving room for progressive overload on squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and more.

🛠 Durability & Finish

• High-quality alloy steel construction resists bending under heavy loads.
• Often features a protective oxide or chrome finish to help guard against rust and wear.
