Overview
A 7-foot Olympic barbell rated to a 1,200 lb load capacity, with volcano knurling for grip, bronze bushing sleeves for rotation and a phosphate finish over 120,000 PSI steel.
Bushing sleeves rather than needle bearings handle the bar's rotation, trading some spin speed for a simpler build that still smooths out wrist and forearm stress during presses and cleans.
- 1,200 lb maximum load capacity
- Bronze bushing sleeves for smooth rotation
- Volcano knurling pattern for secure grip
- Phosphate finish over 120,000 PSI steel
Who it's for
Fits home and garage gym lifters doing squats, bench press, deadlifts and Olympic-style lifts who want a durable bar without spending on a competition-grade model. Lifters who specifically want center knurling for max-effort squats should note this bar does not include it, based on one reviewer's comparison.
Pros and cons
- Smooth sleeve rotation reduces wrist and forearm stress
- Knurling grips well without feeling overly aggressive
- Fits standard Olympic plates, racks and benches
- No center knurling, unlike some pricier bars
- Finish will show scratches with heavy use over time
Performance notes
Steel rated to 120,000 PSI tensile strength backs the 1,200 lb capacity, with a phosphate coating meant to slow rust while keeping the knurling texture intact.
