## Description

desertcart.com : CAP Barbell 6-Foot Solid Olympic Bar, Black (2-Inch) : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Great value for the money, good starter bar - Really happy with the bar. My garage doesn’t have a lot of space for me and my wife to exercise at the same time, and this doesn’t take up too much space. I had ordered a 7’ bar, but found that it took up too much space when actually exercising. I have a lot of equipment in my garage, and the long bar made it difficult to get around. The bar has a smaller diameter grip, which my wife likes. We tried different diameter bars at a local sporting goods store, and she preferred this size bar. The lighter bar also makes it easier for her to perform exercises that where difficult for her with the 45 lb bar. The only negative is that the shorter bar makes doing landmine exercises a little odd. Not that they can’t be done, but the angle is sharper due to the length of the bar. Still, it is great for us, we are not doing any serious bodybuilding or CrossFit workouts, we are just trying to stay in shape. If you have limited space, or are looking for a bar to start working out with, this is a good buy.
Review: Good to use as beater bar in rack. - Got the barbell for $55 with shipping as an desertcart special. Was returned by previous buyer for cosmetic defects. I bought it to use as a beater bar inside an old 1960s York isomtric power rack that I found on Craigslist last fall. As such, my usage of it in the rack will continue to chip off the paint. In terms of quality, it is not a quality bar. Think about the kind of bar that comes with 300lb olympic sets at sporting goods stores. But for the usage as a rack bar, it is perfect. Currently using for bottom position squats and bench presses inside the rack from pins. May eventually use for rack pulls. If it bends, so what. Good beater bar.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this fit in the cap power rack that is also sold on amazon? the rack width is 46" and i see this bar handle area is 45.75" which is tight. thx!**
A: No it does not fit. I bought the power rack and the barbell both. By the time I assembled the rack I couldn’t return it. It’s actually about 2” too narrow to fit. I ended up buying a titan 2” “training” Olympic barbell.

**Q: what is the length between the collars?**
A: 46 inches

**Q: Will this bar fit with a normal squat rack?**
A: No.

**Q: What is the collar size?  Does it fit standard bumper plates (2")**
A: Yes.  Any olympic plates should fit.  Bought this for deadlifts and it works great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ CAP 6' Olympic bar from Amazon - Good Bar, Arrived Quickly, Seems Sturdy
*by A***Y on January 19, 2019*

Pros - price, delivery quickness, size, construction Cons - arrived one side loose (not off), shipping container tatered, bar knurling a little uneven Specs - 27.4 lbs, 46.25" inside collar to collar, 72" overall length While I was concerned after reading some of the negative reviews, I needed a shorter bar (6' vs 7') so I decided to order the bar, hoping for the best. I plased the order on a Monday and it was delivered to my doorstep that Thursday. The bar was shipped in a shipping tube that was badly tatered so I didn't know what to expect when I opened it. The bar however was not damaged and appeared in great condition. I noticed one of the end nuts was loose, but when tightened seemed snug. The bar fit perfectly on my Body Champ bench which has a 38.5" wide bar hold (bar support rise to bar support rise). I have not yet had an opportunity to place plates on the bar (they are in transit) so if when I do and if the plates don't fit I will change my review. Based on what I have experienced with this bar, I would recommend it to anyone that wishes to have a low-cost, shorter (tan regulation) bar.
