Lots of people have searched "how to clean a barbell" and found countless videos about Olympic lifting.
I'm waiting for the opposite to happen now
...very weird, how I was just thinking 2 days ago "Man, I should clean my barbell. Hmm, does Alan have a vid for that?!"
Thank you Alan, you're the bees knees
I legit “cleaned” my barbell less than a week ago LOL. I will definitely clean it properly after watching this video
Ahhhhh you meant "clean", I thought you meant "clean".
No no no, you got it wrong, he meant "clean".
@@TheOrganFlame see, now you say that, it seems so obvious
Every single day I have the choice between doing an extra set or cleaning my barbells, and every single day I finish the session with a nice pump & dusty equipment
You're like the new back guy
I too like to clean my rod at least once a week.
@@satinderjit4 I never clean my rod... girls gonna die when they taste it.
We're a restoration channel now, bois.
Heavy weights and restoration channels should be 90% of this damn website
@@davidec.4021 It'd be a better place
Pretty cool seeing how a barbell comes apart ngl
As someone who bought a barbell during quarantine that's rustier than a nail, I thank you.
if you leave the dirt on, it makes your bar heavier, so you end up lifting more.
so you end up being strongerrrr! than you think.

It’s funny you’re cleaning my exact barbell, boneyard and all. It’s like you’re trying to tell me something...🤔👍🏼🤙🏼
If you need to buy snap ring pliers, don't buy the cheap ones unless you're sure of the size you need. I messed around with a cheap pair ($15 or less from the hardware store and they sucked (mostly cause the posts were too small). Dropped the $30 or so on the channellock brand (similar to what Alan has and had several different tips).... Made the whole process way easier, safer (snap rings springing free is not fun), and avoided scuffing up the end cap like I did when using the cheapy pair.
Now I know why barbells can be so expensive. It’s all the metal machining and such. This video has helped realize the complexity of a barbell. I always thought that they were just bars.
You work that shaft real good.
Diggin' the music in he beginning, we've had heavy metal on Untamed Strength, 80's porno music, rockin' out to Occam's jams, and now a reggae/dub mood? Likin' the journey, train untamedddd
‘The internet is full of hate’
Alan Thrall: ‘cleaning a dirty barbell ‘
Yeh right? This dude rocks!
This was awesome. Never seen a barbell broken down before. Love the end caps on the boneyard bars, glad I was able to pick one up.
I'm happy to see the gym is returning! Good luck Allen! You're a good man.
this is gonna actually be SUPER useful in a couple months. I got a barbell for home, thank you so much Alan
always remember.. CLEAN UNTAAAAAMED
Never thought I'd enjoy a video purely about cleaning a barbell. God I miss the gym and those barbells
Put all the stuff in order, so simple and brilliant!
If you're doing this job be sure to have a good pair of circlip / snap ring pliers.
Rogue uses;
Knipex 4411J2 7.25-Inch Internal Straight Retaining Ring Pliers
You can get them on Amazon.
Thank you!!! I bought a cheap pair that turned out to be useless and returned them. I will get these instead!
This makes my mind comfortable
Great video man. I love "How To" videos when it comes to equipment.
Ok, how does it just stay on the end? I had no clue that's how it was assembled. Haha
Robert Bucks snap rings stop it from coming out
They do the same job, but In the other direction aswell so the ends don’t slide to the middle
On the inside, the sleeve goes from the wider opening (the visible opening) to an opening the size of the bar itself. That transition forms a wall that the washers rest up against. There is a groove that runs around the barbell rod (not sleeve) that the half washers sit inside. Those are what holds everything in place and take the lateral forces. The snap rings are there just to keep the washers from sliding off which in turn keeps the sleeve in place. They also prevent the sleeve from sliding the other direction (inwards towards the kurling) due to providing another wall, so to speak. I don't have a rogue bar but that's what I can tell from the video so I could easily be wrong!
@@ScreaminGreenMachine I think you're mostly right but I dont think the end of the bar is tappered. That split washer is set in a groove with washers and snap rings around it. Only think keeping the sleeve from moving toward the center is that washer assembly.
@@TheLouisianan The washer set is absolutely what is keeping the sleeve from moving inwards. There is a groove on the inside of the sleeve that the snap rings themselves sit inside. The groove on the bar holds the split washers, groove on the sleeve holds the snap rings (also the snap rings are ones that expand outwards so having a groove on the sleeve makes sense to hold them). Without that groove on the sleeve for the snap rings to sit in, nothing would remain in place.
Definitely needed this for my rogue bar!!
I already know I’m not doing this... but I’ll still watch.
Thanks for the tutorial!
FUG YEAH Alan, glad you made this vid.
Great vid. I will now listen to dub while cleaning my OPB.
Thanks, Al. Was just outside trying to figure this out, I kid you not.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so gratifying. It’s like cleaning and rebuilding and old Snap on ratchet 🥰
this barbell before you cleaned it is better than every bar in my school gym
Excelente vídeo !
This was surprisingly fun to watch
I don't know why but this is my fav video of Alans.
entertaining to watch, love the choice of music. Good job!
Yep, was that a custom track?
Best ASMR gym video ever.
And always remember...
CLEAN UNNTAAAYYMDDDE!!!
Giving the bar a happy ending at 2:20 .
Nicely done Alan, great video! Only issue i have is.... now whenever I clean my barbell, I'm sure this dub/reggae track will pop in my head! 😆
Do one for a Texas Power Bar next!
Please do more!!!
The kind maintenance every gym owner should be doing while they have the opportunity, I bet there's many who aren't though!
Guess I’ll have to wait until next video to train untamed.
Yo thanks so much for this dude! My ohio bar is looking pretty rough too, and this is going to fix that as soon as I find some snap ring (pliers), didn't know they were a thing lol.
Beautiful!
Great video, Alan! I have an old can of military oil that I use instead of the 3-in-1. It's probably not safe for skin contact, but I used to drink the stuff, so I should be good. 😅
Nice video Alan. By the way, can you give tips for nice and well built forearms like yours? Thanks.
He doesn't read comments, but I bet he'd say farmer carries.
U rock bro!
Great video! I purchased some equipment (chief among them, a barbell) to outfit a basic h 0 M 3G Y m, and it'll be time for (I can't remember if Mark Rippetoe advises every 6 months or year) a routine cleaning in about a month.
Can you do more tutorials on exercises like how to throw a keg or how to yoke walk
You are the best.
Am I the only one worried about the steel brush scratching up the barbell and wearing on the knurling? I'm sure the wire is softer than the bar, but still wouldn't it be better to use a brass brush?
I'd rather just use a stiff nylon brush. Wire would cut it up and make it more prone to rust
Legend has it the sleeve is still spinning.
I hope i remember this video in a decade when i have to clean mine
Do you find rust accumulates more quickly after using the oil and wire brush?
SO METAL !!
I need to do this to my bar
Very literally been doing this today. Alan is some kinda psychic. 🍍
Very clear and educational video. Does this work for bearing and bushing bars?
Most bars with needle bearings are sealed. Rogue suggests not trying to service those yourself. Bars with bushings are cleaned basically like Alan showed.
No surprise that Alan does the right videos.
What about the regular chalk deposits on the knurled part for everyday use? Small brush helps, but it wears down after a while and isn't quite enough to really remove all the chalk residues. From a patron's perspective, it wouldn't be feasible to use a drill-brush to clean after use.
Wearing gloves at the beginning then taking it off so they stay clean.
Nice work, I wish my gym do that.
How did you figure out you were putting the shim back on the wrong way when you flipped it?
Talk about a niche video! Nailed it!!
Making Rip proud
Nice video Alan. I am requesting another Mountain Man Breakfast vid please.
This soundtrack sounds like The Mighty Diamonds !!!
But alan how do you clean the other end??? 🤔🤔🤔
What influenced your lubricant choice?
Why not use the same grease as before?
If you have an indoor only bar, how often should you clean it/lube it?
I'm curious why you didn't use lithium grease or aircraft instrument/bearing grease in the sleeves since 3 in 1 evaporates quickly.
Just ordered a barbell and was wondering how to clean it 😁
would the inside of the ends be better with a light coat of grease, that way it doesn't move?
How to clean coated bars that are getting small spots of rust?
Where can I buy end caps for a barbell?
I would assume buffing with a wire brush is going to wear down the knurl eventually? Thus, I would assume that keeping it oiled regularly would prevent the need to buff with wire brush and just use nylon brush to remove chaulk. I have a BnR 2.0 coming for my birthday in a few weeks and these are the things that keep me awake at night...
I miss my gym, will i ever be able to go back to it? I fear i'll go back to looking DYEL even with calisthenics...
COOL. What about the other side?
woah something aint right, how you didnt launch the jeseless clips into low earte orbit?!?!
This video is better than the one frm rogue channel. More up close shots
Gotta get some snap ring pliers someday ....maybe
I'll just add this to my 'Satisfaction' playlist.
I was expecting it to go all the way to "Remove 50th washer."
if my bar is starting to have a teensy bend, do I replace or no? also, I have no idea what the alan wrench screws on the sleeves are for other than disassemble?
2:08 when you go down but you smell some fishy
But you still go down!💀😁
Dig the music, it was very Napoleon Dynamite-esque
Nice
That is too many parts I wouldn't even try that on my bar. I might mess it up 😆
does the wire brush mess up the knurling
Is there anywhere to buy replacement parts?
I bought a barbell for like 50 bucks, its in atrocious condition, but it seems like a good bar underneath the paint and rust (yeah, the previous owner spray painted it green...)
But its missing some of those interior parts
What kind of hand held pliers are those?
What song is used here? It's jammin'
3:25 winning.
I've just got brand new barbell from the store, and I think i have to clean one sleeve 'cause it ain't spinning like the second one :(
Does collar spin matter more for heavier lifts? I have newer barbells so i haven't noticed any side effects of not having the collars spin, I had just assumed the minor variance in collar size and plate opening would allow the weights to rotate on the bar even if the collar didn't spin. That said, I am not super strong (yet) and only lift up to ~225lbs (I also only weigh 158 lbs and am a year into lifting). Just curious what issues may appear when my bars inevitably wear out eventually.
Really unless you are a weightlifter bar spin isn't critical. But a nice spinning bar is still a good thing.
So, would do not move the barbell actually apply here?
Why do the ends need to rotate freely?
Get a pair of channel lock snap ring pliers. I bought a set of Irwin pliers. Don’t use those. Worse than useless. I’ll happily throw the ones I just bought into a pit it molten steel. They slip off and do not hold the rings closed.
Lol my barbell is so cheap it doesn’t even have these snap rings at the end. Just a large bolt
As long it gets the job done you're ok
@@Ze_Ninguem pretty much. Most people who don't snatch or clean and jerk don't need a fancy barbell. The problem tho is that most cheap bars are 30mm which sucks ass.
@@-TK- Mine was 32mm which I didn't realise until I used a Eleiko barbell at the local gym and PR:d the crap out of my deadlift...
