I have a fitness tool which is somewhat between barbell and dumbbell. I don't know what this is called.
It is a bar that is 60cm (24 inches) long and is supposed to hold a steel plate or plates to add weights. It should be held by 'two hands' but is too short to be called 'barbell.'
What is this called?
It could just be a short barbell. They're usually used for exercises like straight bar curls which require a barbell but not necessarily long ones since you don't have to use a rack like you would for squatting or pressing/bench pressing, and can be done without a wide grip.
I made 2 of these to use for dumbbell squats. It allows the weights to clear my knees going up and down. So the bar is a one handed thing.
