The 169 cm overall length, 25 mm shaft and 50 mm sleeves create a\npractical junior barbell for coached technique work, while retaining compatibility with\nstandard Olympic weight plates. Training should always match the athlete's age, ability\nand experience and take place with qualified guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e25 mm shaft for smaller hands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25 mm spring steel shaft is easier to grip with smaller hands and supports a secure\nhold while young athletes learn the hook grip.
