Barbell Bar only

Where to buy the bar of a regular barbell not the Olympic kind but the shorter length. Thanks!

Years ago I got an Iron Grip 'Group Strength' barbell.
Did it by emailing them and mailing them a money order.
Mine came with bar, weight clamps and weights, but maybe it would be worth asking if they'd just sell a bar?

I'd suggest to check your local sporting goods stores, I got one for around $20 plus taxes some years back, and it is still in pristine condition.

I'll second that suggestion. I still have the shorter bar I got at a sporting goods store over 20 years ago. At one point, I did buy a "real" Olympic bar. But I find I prefer, and still use, the shorter bar.

Depending on how the store sells it, buy all the plates that come with it. Plates designed for Olympic bars may not fit on the shorter bar, so you don't want to get stuck later down the line with not being able to add plates.
