Gifts for weightlifters: which bar to give.
Buying a Spann Bar for someone who lifts comes down to two questions: do they own a landmine attachment, and how do they train? Four of our sizes cover almost every lifter you could be shopping for. The Velencia Bar is the one to give most adults. The Spann Bar is for the experienced lifter who loads the landmine heavy. Younger athletes and anyone starting out get the Melo or the Fresh. All of them load on one end, fit a standard 2-inch landmine sleeve and carry a 550 lb rating, so what you are really choosing is a length and a starting weight.
Match the bar to the lifter
This is how we match them on our own floor. Each card opens that exact size on our store, where the current price and the cart are. The figures are the store's own: length, grip, and what the bar weighs before a plate goes on.
01 · Most adult lifters
Velencia Bar
- Weight
- 34 lb
- Length
- 87.0 in
- Grip
- 25 mm
- Rated to
- 550 lb
Most athletes, general training, home gyms.
Give this one when you know they train but not exactly how. At 87 inches it sits close to the length of the barbell they already know, and the 25 mm grip suits most hands. When an adult lifter asks us which size to order and gives us nothing else to go on, this is the answer.

02 · The experienced, heavy lifter
Spann Bar
- Weight
- 43 lb
- Length
- 94.1 in
- Grip
- 28.5 mm
- Rated to
- 550 lb
The flagship. Advanced lifters, heavy landmine work, commercial gyms.
For the lifter who has been at it for years, loads the landmine heavy and wants the longest reach through a press. The 28.5 mm handle is the thick one, made to fill a big hand. If they coach or train on a commercial floor, this is the bar we built for that floor.

03 · Fast athletes and teenagers
Melo Bar
- Weight
- 25 lb
- Length
- 78.4 in
- Grip
- 25 mm
- Rated to
- 550 lb
Speed work, agility, youth athletes, light conditioning.
The shorter, lighter bar for an athlete whose training is quick: sprint and field sports, agility sessions, conditioning for reps. A good pick for a teenager who already lifts, and for the adult who wants the bar's own weight kept low.

04 · Beginners, youth, rehab
Fresh Bar
- Weight
- 15.5 lb
- Length
- 77.0 in
- Grip
- 25 mm
- Rated to
- 550 lb
Youth athletes, rehab, beginners, high-rep work.
The lightest bar we make, for a young athlete starting out, someone working through rehab, or anyone who wants to learn the movements before the load matters. It carries the same 550 lb rating as the Spann Bar, enough for anything from rehab work up to elite loading, so nobody grows out of it.

What they need to own already
A Spann Bar is a drop-in. It replaces the Olympic bar most lifters already wedge into their landmine, and nothing else in the setup changes. So before you order, check two things in their gym. First, a landmine attachment: sleeve-mounted, rack-mounted or a corner unit. Every size we make fits the standard 2-inch sleeve those attachments use, with no adapter. Second, standard Olympic plates, which they have if they lift at all.
The bar is built for that one job. It loads on one end only, and the knurling sits at the end of the loadable sleeve, where the hand goes for a press, a row or a rotation. That placement is the point: it is a landmine bar, not an Olympic bar pressed into service. The design is patented, U.S. Patent No. D 1,105,306. The movements themselves are in our exercise library.
Grip is the detail gift buyers miss. The Velencia, Melo and Fresh all use a 25 mm handle, the standard women's barbell grip size, and it is the easier size for smaller hands and for anyone new to landmine work. The 28.5 mm Spann Bar is the one to give a lifter who already trains on a thick bar. We built every size for athletes, full stop, not for one gender.
The build is heavy-duty steel under an electrophoretic black paint finish, meant for indoor gyms. Care is a dry cloth after a session. If chalk or sweat builds up, a light brushing and a thin coat of 3-in-1 oil keep the finish right.
Shipping, returns and the warranty
Orders ship within 2 to 3 business days, with tracking sent by email. Our Shipping Policy puts standard ground delivery at 3 to 7 business days after that, inside the contiguous United States. For Alaska, Hawaii or an address outside the US, email collis@spannfitness.com for a quote before you order.
If you give the wrong size, it is fixable. Returns run 30 days from delivery for a full refund of the product price, as long as the bar comes back in original, unused condition. Return shipping is on the sender unless the bar arrived damaged or defective, in which case we cover it. The 30 days count from delivery, not from the day you paid, which matters when a bar is ordered well before it is opened.
Every bar carries a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. A claim is an email to collis@spannfitness.com with the order number and a photo of the issue.
Buying for a team, a gym or a coaching staff? From 4 bars we price the order by email, with the program details.
Questions gift buyers ask us
- Does the bar come with a landmine attachment?
- No. The bar is the bar. The lifter needs a landmine attachment of their own, sleeve-mounted, rack-mounted or a corner unit, plus standard Olympic plates. If they already train landmine movements, they own both.
- Will it fit the landmine they already have?
- Yes. Every size fits a standard 2-inch landmine sleeve, the spec on virtually every landmine attachment sold, and needs no adapter.
- What if it is the wrong size?
- Send it back within 30 days of delivery in original, unused condition for a full refund of the product price. Return shipping is on you unless it arrived damaged or defective. Or email info@spannfitness.com before you order with how they train, and we will point you to the bar.
