Armortech Technique Beginner Package

Start your Olympic lifting journey with the Armortech Technique Package 1 — Beginner, a complete barbell setup designed to help new lifters learn proper lifting technique, build confidence and progressively develop strength.

At the centre of the package is the Armortech V2 Aluminium Training Barbell, a lightweight 15 lb / ~6.8 kg technique bar designed specifically for beginners and Olympic lifting practice. Its lighter weight allows users to learn fundamental movements and lifting positions without the initial load of a traditional 15–20 kg Olympic bar.

The package includes 20 kg of Armortech V2 Colour Bumper Plates, providing a solid starting load, while the included fractional plates allow you to make small, controlled weight increases as your technique and strength develop.
