barbell question

[digitaljtothea]

I have a barbell that has screw on clamps. Is there anyway that I could buy the clamps that Cathe uses instead of buying a whole new bar? Any comments on this would be appreciated.

I don't think you can, but I'm not sure. When I bought mine they made sure I wanted the quick-clamp ones since they didn't work on the same bar as the screw-ons. Thank goodness for the forum so I knew I could emphatically say, yes please the quick ones!!!

I had a bar with screw-on clamps. I'm not sure there is any way to SAFELY and SECURELY use quick-release clamps of any kind on these. They might "sort of" fit, but not to a point where I would feel safe using them. And you have to put the clamp over the part of the bar that has the screw-type texture on, so it's not a snug fit.

I am thinking about getting the york aerobic 40lb barbell set. Does this one have quick clamps? What kindof barbell do you have?

I bet you can! I have several differnt spring clamps that you can buy separately. As long as your bar is a standard size (Olympic or regular width) you should be OK.
