York barbell bar query

    I have 2 sets of these dumbbells (4 in total)

    Looking to get a long bar that is compatible with the plates.

    Keeping an eye on Adverts and Gumtree but there's this Pro Fitness and this Mens Fitness bar in Argos

    Does anyone know if Pro Fitness/Mens Health and York are compatible plate-size wise?

    Looking online and it's hard to find out the diameter of the hole in the middle

    Edit - I know the dumbell plates that I have are quite light but I do have a load of them, having bought 2 sets, so i could bung 6 or 7 of the 1.25kg plates on either side of the bar if they fit

    Am update - Asked to see the pro fitness tricurl bar in argos, the plate fitted fine so bought it. The bar is pretty neat, the black looks good

    It's difficult to be 100% certain, but the barbell looks like a 1" diameter, especially since it only weighs 7.52KG. A proper mens olympic bar is 86" long and has 2"diameter on the ends to fit into eh weight plate.

    100kg max load isn't too much. Many of the girls in the gym can dead lift >100KG
