Quick Locks For Olympic Barbells


Fist of Fury

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can find quick locks for 50 mm barbells that can hold a lot of weight?

Do they even exist? I'm so tired of fiddling with screws everytime I want to change plates, can't afford more barbells and plates right now.

The typical quick locks you'll find can barely hold any weight at all, need something really sturdy and convenient.

Muscle clamps would be my guess. I personality use York and ivanko collars. They ain't going nowhere.

The price is very low... How is the quality, how much weight can they hold vertically? I'm going to do some heavy hammer curls, don't want the plates to land on my toes :D

I found these on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261642046168?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&var=560514275160&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Has anyone tried them? They claim they can hold 200 lbs vertically...

Not sure how strong they are in that direction, quality seems OK, don't know if they will loosen with age though (but they'll be ok for DL SQ & BP) I got them so I could always have a set that hadn't been abused: the ones in the commercial gym are mainly busted up as no one seems to treat them with any care at all.

I did a quick search for you:

may give you some ideas.
