Bar thickness - May 14 2008 20:43:45

I bought a bar the other day and I've just realised that none of my weights fit onto it, the bar is too thick.

I never even realised the thickness varied. Since then I've looked around on websites at weights and bars, and none of them even mention that size of the bar is even an issue, and none seem to mention width of the holes in the weights.

What is the standard and how do i find out what the measurements of the bars/weights are if websites don't even mention it?

Probably a stupid question, but this is the first time I've bought weights...
