How to properly store your barbells! | Home Gyms Canada

Hey, how's it going everyone? In today's video we're going to touch on the barbell storage options that you guys have available. If you are looking to store your barbells and aren't sure which route to go with, this video is for you. Storing your barbells horizontally is definitely the best option for a couple reasons. Firstly, the bearings or bushings in your barbell's sleeves aren't designed or engineered to support weight while being in the vertical position. The second reason has to do with the lubrication stored inside the sleeves that allow the bearings or bushings to move so fluidly. There are many horizontal storage options available, and it really doesn't matter which company you choose to support. That being said, I would recommend choosing a company that offers UHMW Plastic support to avoid metal on metal contact. We understand not everyone has the ability to store their barbells horizontally. Forcing you to go the vertical route. There are a couple options you can choose from, and we cover them all in this video. The one thing I forgot to mention in this video is that storing your barbells vertically is a viable option and as long as you take some precautions. Barbell storage tips: 1. Do NOT store your barbells with weight on them! 2. Do NOT leave your barbells propped up against the wall in the corner of your gym! 3. Do NOT leave your barbells on the floor, close to dust, dirt, and humidity! 4. No metal on metal contact. UHMW Plastic is your friend!
