7ft Olympic Barbell – 40LB Chrome Powerlifting Bar with 2” Sleeves & Medium Knurl, 700LB Capacity Strength Training Barbell for Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Home & Gym

This 45-pound barbell is exactly what I was looking for! The build quality is outstanding—solid steel with a nice knurled grip that provides excellent control without being too rough on the hands. The spin on the sleeves is smooth, making it great for powerlifting, Olympic lifts, or just general strength training. It feels durable and well-balanced, just like the ones you’d find in a professional gym. For the price, you won’t find a better barbell. Highly recommend for anyone serious about lifting!

This is a great bar for the money. Looks great, works perfectly for me.

> Bar Weight tested: around 41lbs, but it doesn't feel any lighter as it was few inches longer.> Grip : has more texture on the bar from shoulder width up to the plate holder which makes it much easier for hand to grip around tightly for bench, dead lifts definitely and standing rows while opposite send is attached to the landmine socket. The center bar has no grip textured so its just a smooth finish, less risk rubning on chest.End piece/weight holder : slightly textured for anti slip and smooth enough for hands to hold onto whike doing landmine hooked over the shoulder shruggs or similar types on workouts involving you holding on the end of the bar.My opinion:I weighted it, it was a bit over 41lbs, and my luggage scare is about half lbs on fluctuation but the weight descripency does not affect my lift as i can always add 2.5lbs each but controlled lifting is better than weight accuracy and not proper lift the weight sets.The load capacity is about as much as any other bars out there so why bother with the bar weight lol.Can't always have nice things and this is a very nice bar i bought an ld makes my garage look pleasant to workout at.

Good cheap bar. Has held up nice. Minimal rust with garage storage and sweaty hands

Nice bar, good knurling, the sleeves have bearings for a smooth movement. The color should be described as tomato red.

The bar arrived securely encased in a thick cardboard tube, which itself was in a long box. Very good packaging, it was well protected.The bar feels like quality and the red color matches my rack perfectly. I am very happy with the purchase!

Have used this barbell every day for the last 2 years. I love the grip on it but my only complaint is that the red powder coating has been coming off bit by bit for the last year. It’s gotten to the point of annoyance that I was compelled to return back to the product to write a review. I suppose thats a risk of having the color on it. So I would buy it plain if I could do it over. Otherwise it’s a great product

Nice look and good knurling on the bar.
