Competition Collar

Are you a powerlifter or Olympic weightlifter, or do you train at a gym specializing in these sports? This is a must-have collar for you! As the name suggests, the Competition Collar is the type used in official competitions. How does it differ from standard collars? 1. Heavy Steel Material It isn't made of plastic like typical collars; a single collar weighs 2.5 kg. Using a pair adds 5 kg of weight to the barbell—unlike standard collars, which are considered weightless. Thanks to this material, the collar is incredibly durable and built to last a lifetime. 2. Screw-type Locking System Most collars use a clip-based locking system. When lifting heavy loads for squats or bench presses—or during movements involving impact, like heavy deadlifts or Olympic lifts—plates can tilt or shift, destabilizing the lift. This is obviously undesirable in competition, where athletes perform a "1-rep max"—often called a "one-inch game" because a technical deviation of just a few centimeters can cause the lift to fail. The competition collar uses a screw mechanism, ensuring plates won't tilt or shift. Crucially, the screw system doesn't damage the barbell sleeves; the threads are held against a semi-circular surface inside the collar, keeping the sleeve coating safe. 3. Plate-Tightening System Standard collars lack a system to tighten the plates against one another. This often results in the clanking sound of plates hitting each other during lifts. It also frequently causes plates to tilt to one side during multiple-rep deadlifts—especially when using thinner powerlifting-style plates. The competition collar features a tightening mechanism; by turning the star-shaped component, the plates are compressed, eliminating gaps between the plates themselves and the end of the barbell sleeve.
