    Most olympic bars in the gym are going to be 22kg (45lbs).

    If you go to a gym that has olympic weight lifting, you may be able to find a 15kg (34lb) woman's bar, but the handle is going to be way thinner than the normal olympic bar.

    Oops, I apologize. Olympic bars are 20kg (44.4lbs but we round up). I don't know why I put 22kg down? Anyway, 20kg for mens bar and 15kg for womans bar (33.3lbs).
