55pound barbell set at walmart.com

Is this the same size that Cathe uses? I don't want to end up getting the extra long barbell set. I might as well use my husbands set if I get that.

It sounds good. Why don't you post a link?

Cathe uses several different barbell sets in her workouts. The bar is usually about 4 ft. long and her maximum weight doesn't exceed 50 lbs. Yes, it is a somewhat shorter bar than the "classic" length.

I believe this is what Cathe uses. I don't know how long the bar is though. Can you post a link to the one at Walmart?

The Walmart site is down but here is the same one at Amazon.

The important thing here is making sure Walmart has lighter plates you can buy separately to use with the bar. If you get this set, the lowest you can go is 14 lbs. For endurance workouts, 14 lbs. might be too much for certain exercises, like bicep and shoulder exercises. Otherwise, it does look like the ones Cathe uses.
