The natural next step is a 15kg olympic training bar, which keeps the shaft manageable while introducing competition dimensions. From there, the standard 20kg bar is the full-weight standard for most movements. Completing the setup A bar needs plates and collars to be useful. Complete strength training kits pair a bar with matched plates.
