I used to have an olympic bar with the threaded collar, and yes it is a supreme pain in the butt. I think I will be ordering the less expensive set I saw online. Plates are pretty cheap, and I believe the bar holds up to 150 lbs. It will be a LONG time before I need that much weight.

I went to Dicks sporting goods, Target and Walmart. I found the barbell set online but not in the store, so I guess I will be paying the shipping. :-( Target/Amazon had the best shipping though.

I haven't seen Cathe on FitTV yet. What day and time? I'm in the Southeast US.

Thanks! I didn't think I needed an olympic bar, but now that I know what to look for, I can make a choice. I'd like to avoid the hefty shipping charges, so I'll check out the local stores.

I have dumbbells, but do not have a regular barbell or plates. I also have an ez-curl bar. What type of barbell should I get? What size plates do I start out with?
