Overview
Six feet of chrome-finished, 1 inch diameter barbell with threaded sleeves and star-style spin-lock collars, rated to hold up to 160 lbs of standard weight plates.
The sleeves are sized for standard 1 inch plates, not Olympic 2 inch ones, so it fits home and garage gyms built around standard plate sets.
- 72 inch length, 1 inch diameter
- 160 lb weight capacity
- Chrome finish with threaded sleeves
- Two star-style spin-lock collars included
Who it's for
Fits home or garage gym owners with standard 1 inch weight plates who want a straight bar for general lifting. Not a fit for anyone using Olympic 2 inch plates, since this bar's sleeves are sized for the standard hole.
Pros and cons
- Distinct diamond knurling for secure grip
- Twist-lock star collars hold weight in place
- Chrome finish holds up well
- Seller responded quickly to shipping problems in multiple reports
- Only fits standard 1 inch plates, not Olympic
Performance notes
The bar's diamond knurling is called out by more than one reviewer as distinct and grippy rather than smooth or slippery, which matters for keeping a secure hold during heavier lifts. The twist-lock star collars got specific praise for holding weight securely without loosening during use.
