An open barbell comprising: a first bar end and a second bar end each arranged for carrying one or more weights, the first bar end and the second bar end being substantially straight and extending along a first longitudinal axis (X-X), one single central bar arranged between the first and the second bar ends (10, 11), which central bar is fixedly connected to the first bar end and the second bar end, wherein the central bar is connected to the respective bar end (10, 11) in an angle relative the first longitudinal axis (X-X), such as at least a mid-portion of the central bar is displaced from the longitudinal axis (X-X) and protrudes a first distance (a) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), a first handle, fixedly connected to at least one of the first bar end or the central bar, which first handle is substantially perpendicularly arranged relative the first bar end and facing the second bar end, a second handle, fixedly connected to at least one of the second bar end or the central bar, which second handle is substantially perpendicularly arranged relative the second bar end and facing the first bar end, a first counterweight, fixedly connected to at least one of the first bar end or the central bar and protruding a second distance (b) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), substantially in an opposite direction relative the central bar, a second counterweight, fixedly connected to at least one of the second bar end or the central bar and protruding the second distance (b) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), substantially in an opposite direction relative the central bar, characterised in that, the first and second counterweights (40, 41) and the second distance (b) are selected so as to weight-balance the central bar, the first counterweight comprises a first foot member which protrudes a third distance (c) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), and the second counter weight comprises a second foot member which protrudes the third distance (c) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), wherein the third distance is chosen so as to exceed a standard diameter of a standard Olympic weight. a first bar end and a second bar end each arranged for carrying one or more weights, the first bar end and the second bar end being substantially straight and extending along a first longitudinal axis (X-X), one single central bar arranged between the first and the second bar ends (10, 11), which central bar is fixedly connected to the first bar end and the second bar end, wherein the central bar is connected to the respective bar end (10, 11) in an angle relative the first longitudinal axis (X-X), such as at least a mid-portion of the central bar is displaced from the longitudinal axis (X-X) and protrudes a first distance (a) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), a first handle, fixedly connected to at least one of the first bar end or the central bar, which first handle is substantially perpendicularly arranged relative the first bar end and facing the second bar end, a second handle, fixedly connected to at least one of the second bar end or the central bar, which second handle is substantially perpendicularly arranged relative the second bar end and facing the first bar end, a first counterweight, fixedly connected to at least one of the first bar end or the central bar and protruding a second distance (b) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), substantially in an opposite direction relative the central bar, a second counterweight, fixedly connected to at least one of the second bar end or the central bar and protruding the second distance (b) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), substantially in an opposite direction relative the central bar, characterised in that, the first and second counterweights (40, 41) and the second distance (b) are selected so as to weight-balance the central bar, the first counterweight comprises a first foot member which protrudes a third distance (c) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), and the second counter weight comprises a second foot member which protrudes the third distance (c) from the first longitudinal axis (X-X), wherein the third distance is chosen so as to exceed a standard diameter of a standard Olympic weight.
