Review: Great Budget Olympic Bar - Solid Performance for the Price - I picked this up as a starter bar for my home gym and honestly it’s been solid so far. For the price, getting a full 7 ft Olympic bar that weighs 45 lbs is kind of hard to beat. I’ve been using it for bench, squats, and deadlifts (around 300 lbs max right now), and it feels balanced and easy to use. with decent knurling; not too aggressive but still gives a good grip.the color is nice, and the finish is smooth. Seems as durable as any bar I have used in commercial gyms. The only real downside is the sleeve rotation. The bronze bushings aren’t as smooth as higher-end bars, so you can definitely feel the difference there, but it’s not a dealbreaker for normal lifts. Compared to something like a Rogue bar, yeah it’s not on that level; but it’s also a fraction of the price. If you’re building a home gym on a budget, this gets the job done without overthinking it. Review: Great deal for a cheap bar - It is a cheaply made bar. But I ordered a cheaply made bar. So it’s perfect. ## Features - ✔️CONSTRUCTION – Made from solid cold rolled steel with a chromed finish; Accommodates Olympic weight plates (with 2-inch center hole); Does not include collars - ✔️SPECS – Measures 2185mm in length; Shaft length of 51.75”; Loadable sleeve length of 15.3”; Handgrip diameter of 28mm; 54,000 PSI tensile strength steel; Weighs 16KG; Center knurl 4.75” - ✔️FEAUTRES – Medium-depth knurling and center knurling for a secure grip; Rotating sleeves with bronze bushings to reduce pressure on forearms; 30-day warranty* - ✔️VERSATILE – Get a full body workout or target specific muscle groups; Great for powerlifting and Olympic lifting technique building.
