Barbell question?????

Im a beginner and i will start weight training soon at home and will be planning to buy a barbell. Do most barbells allow you to change plates and lock em or do they only come in specific weights like dumbbells?

Whats a good barbell weight for a 20 year old, 130lb 5′7, average strength? I heard some people say like 25-40. Im confused, isnt that kinda low? I mean most AVERAGE people can bench close to their weight, im my case 130, im aiming for around 80-90 to begin… im confused

    you are confused about a barbell and a dumbell. a barbell is a long plate loaded bar. a dumbell is smaller and compact and you hold it in your hands. you can go get a bench barbell set in different sizes. right now you would only need to buy the smallest set. the plates slide off the bar and you lock them in with a coupler.

    Get a 45lbs barbel, as they are pretty standard, The get plates, Add plates to get to your desired weight (80-90).
