Olympic Bar for Weightlifting and Power Lifting Barbell, 700-Pound Capacity (6 Feet, Silver)

The bar alone on this weight set is super heavy and legit. I felt bad for the Amazon driver who had to carry this to my door lol! I used to lift 8 yrs ago and going to start gradually, this is a great set for the price.

As it was shown on website good deal!!

I ordered the barbell & plates 160lb bundle. Delivery & packaging were great & on time. The bar had everything including clips. The quality is also great. My only negative is the 10lb plates are really hard to get on the bar, they’re almost too small. I needed my friend to hold the bar at an angle and eventually I was able to wiggle on the 10lb plates. BUT, I told Amazon and they refunded me for the plates and said to keep them. I saw a few reviews complained about multiple deliveries & a strange smell. Amazon tells you it’ll be 4 deliveries when you purchase the set, and it all came on time. Second, I only smelled the plastic packaging & new rubber plates which quickly dissipated. I’d buy this again & recommended to others.

This is not a great barbell, but for the cost, its solid. However, I say that with two caveats:1) The knurling is very weak, so it may not provide enough bite for very heavy sets2) the paint is cheap, so it will chip, but even more importantly, it makes the weak knurling even weakerNumber two can be remedied pretty easily. Buy some Citristrip and coat the barbell generously from the outside edge of the outside knurling of one side all the way across to the outside edge of the knurling on the other side. I suggest stopping at the farthest edges of the knurling to prevent getting citristrip in the cuff joints. There's really no reason to strip the paint from the far outer edges or the cuffs, so you could just apply citristrip from the pinky area of your widest grip inward.I let the citristrip sit for two hours then scraped it off with a metal putty knife. This got 90% of the paint off. I wiped the bar clean and then applied another coat and scraped it off after 1.5 hours, then rinsed the bar with soapy water (be careful not to get water in the cuff joints) and then dried it thoroughly. I applied 3-in-1 oil to the exposed steel area to mitigate rusting (google "how to clean and oil barbell").The bare steel knurling is noticeably better than the painted over knurling, but it is still noticeably weaker than that of a high quality bar. If you know, you know.I'm lifting in a somewhat exposed garage, where rust is almost inevitable, so I specifically bought a cheap bar for my setup. If you're gym is in a nice indoor area, you have the funds, and you take lifting seriously, I'd suggest shelling out more money ($2-300) for a quality bar with stronger knurling.If you are new to lifting and just want to try out barbell training, this is the perfect bar for you (and I wouldn't suggest you worry about stripping the paint and adding the oil maintenance overhead). Just get this bar, a cheap rack/cage (I suggests Titan T2), some cheap plates, and use them regularly. Please watch various tutorials on YouTube about proper lifting form for the lift you want to pursue. Stop increasing the weight when your form breaks down. Have fun. If you find you still like regular lifting after a year or two, treat yourself to a nicer bar.

i bought this olympic bar to use primarily for Tbar Rows and really only needed a 6 ft. bar. It's chrome plated with knurled areas where you would grip for traditional barbell exercises. It was less expensive then others and will never loose its functionality.

Great addition to the home gym. It is great to not have to drive to the gym and to get outside in the sun and lift weights without someone waiting on you, interrupting your workout or someone saying you are not allowed to grunt while lifting and setting off alarms in the gym if you do lol. Embrace the grind whenever you want to while at home and feel better and get stronger baby EuUuUugGgGhh! lol

When I order this weight bar and opened the package, it was missing a bolt to connect the weight holders at the end, didn’t bother me, just order new bolts to replace them, after working out for a couple of days, I started to realize the bar is uneven and the handle placement was defective, really disappointed with this product

Sturdy bar holds weights well

The product is excellent for what it's intended to do. I was skeptical because of 3.5 stars rating, but I do not understand why it was rated so low? Other bars are pretty much 2x the price of this one, and this seems to do the job just perfectly fine. I purchased the 6' one and I think for a home gym it's an excellent choice.

Bar exercise good for women use

Good quality solid

Perfect, just what I ordered. Came packaged up super tight and taped up. Nice solid bar.Very impressed as it showed up a week early.
