Mighty Mite Barbell
If you're setting up a home gym, shorty barbells are a great choice. They're about a foot shorter than a regular barbell, making them more space effecient while still packing all the benefits of an olympic barbell. The Mighty Might Barbell can hold up to 275lbs of Bumper Plates and 400+lbs of Iron Plates.

I got this during Fringe's garage sale in late 2026 for just 119 or so including tax. Honestly though, even for regular price of around $200 I think this is a good deal. This is a relatively quiet barbell when dropped, so it seems to have tight tolerances from that standpoint. The knurling is just okay, but I'm using it as my dedicated VTS Lite barbell (used to dedicate my stump to that, but now the stump is my dedicated barbell bench and squat bar), so it's just fine for me for that use. If you're in the market for a shorty bar, this is a great choice.

Got this on the 20% off sale so it was only like $180 after taxes. Free shipping. Was looking for a lighter barbell for my wife, and something I could use as like a rackable straight curl bar. The finish looks nice, sleeves spin well. Knurling is not agressive at all but not the most passive I’ve ever felt. The only thing that sucked, and this is my fault, is that the tube it came packaged in had the cap screwed. They were a bit of a pain to take out with all the tape covering them and I left one halfway in still before I slide the barbell out. Left a pretty good scratch on one of the collars. Don’t be like me, take all the screws all the way out first lol
