Iron Crush Olympic Barbell - Multifunction 7-Foot Weight Bar for Weightlifting, Powerlifting, CrossFit Training - No. 45 Steel, Chrome Finish - 750 lbs Max Load Capacity - Home Gym Fitness Equipment

Quality is great and the textured grip is strong. Happy with it

I ordered this 7ft bar as a Christmas present for myself. The packaging was top notch with zero damage to the bar during shipping. The bar itself feels as a premium bar should feel but without the premium cost. It uses bearings instead of bushings and the collars will spin for days with weights on them. The knurling is aggressive but doesn’t cut into your hands. There is no center knurling which for some can be a no go for squaring however I use a REP squat pad on the bar while doing squats so it doesn’t affect my use case. I think that this is a very good beginner bar for anyone looking to start a home gym. You will be getting a good quality bay that should last for years to come even well after you decide to upgrade to a Rogue or Rep bar down the road.

This is just a normal barbell, it’s a really great size and great durability. I think it’s a really good value for your money.

Great bar. Feels sturdy.

4 stars may be unfair, because all Olympic bars might have the same depth of knurling. But it feels pretty sharp after a while. You probably wear gloves anyway when you lift, but you will definitely have to with this bar. I might even wind electrical tape around my grip areas.Delivery was great--a day and a half after I placed my order.Thanks!
