View Full Version : ? Olympic bar/sleeve ? Help! Dead-head Wed, June 22nd, 2005, 02:24 PM I use an olympic bar at home to deadlift. On one side the hex bold that fits inside the end of the sleeve comes loose while I lift, and the whole sleeve tries to slide off the bar. Between sets I re-tighten the bolt, and tediously repeat the process. Has anyone else come across this? Any suggestions? JabbaTheGutt Wed, June 22nd, 2005, 04:03 PM Haven't had the problem to that extent yet but maybe you could take it off & put some "Lock tight" on it - it's good for loose nuts & bolts, etc... Good luck, G Dead-head Thu, June 23rd, 2005, 09:29 AM Thanks, Jabba. I'd love to hear more advice and experiences. kmfisher Thu, June 23rd, 2005, 10:03 AM Superglue it on there? Or maybe get a new olympic bar? Is it time for an awesome Ivanko bar that holds like 2000 lbs?
