Let’s be honest - your barbell puts up with a lot. Heavy loads, chalk dust, and maybe even a few rage drops after failed PRs (we’ve been there). Here’s how to keep your trusted training partner in top shape.
Smart storage:
-
Store your barbell on a horizontal rack to prevent warping
-
Keep away from moisture and extreme temperates
-
Use dedicated barbell storage solutions to protect knurling
Regular maintenance:
-
Brush knurling after chalk use to prevent buildup
-
Check collar movement and sleeve spin weekly
-
Clean and oil your barbell monthly for smooth performance
Some bonuses:
-
Avoid dropping empty barbells
-
Use controlled movements with rack catches
-
Clean chalk residue after each training session
