SNM-one more barbell question /tower use

aqua girl

Cathlete
Hi again, thanks for answering my other barbell question about the
distance needed between the weights on the bar to use on tower---
but now I am confused :confused: You said you need 33 inches between
the weight collars......do you mean the "stoppers" on the bar itself (that's
what I call them :D) or the actual collars you put on after you put on the
weights????? I recently bought the 51" cardio barbell and the distance
between the raised "stoppers" on the bar is 40 inches. Then I wanted the
troy lightweight 54" bar and the distance on the bar between the raised
stopping points is 34 inches. So, am I okay on either or both of these???
I like them both but want to make sure I will be okay with the tower.
Sorry to be such a barbell "dork" but I'm new to these. I already had a
little Danskin barbell and I am pretty sure that one would not have worked
but I can still use the weight plates with either of the other ones. The only
thing I don't like about the cardio barbell is the threaded collars but they're
ok. Thanks again for a reply...............
 
It is the distance between the stoppers, so you will be fine. We actually use the Troy Light barbell in STS on the Tower.
 
Wonderful ..... thanks SNM for your quick replys....I am anxiously
waiting for the tower...just can't wait to do modified pullups/chinups and
use the bench press feature too !!!!
