    Do they make a "shorter" straight barbell?

    Instead of the 7 footer?

    Trying to fit a gym in the back of my basement and space is at a premium.

    I have a standard one but it is like a foot and a half too long for where I want to put it.

    Nah I need bigger then that!

    I still want to put it on a bench.

    That is as wide as a curl bar. And it is not straight.

    I need something in between a curl and a long barbell.

    6 foot ish.
