Overview
The Mikolo 7ft Olympic barbell is a 45 lb chrome bar built to IWF specs with a 1500 lb weight capacity and 2 inch sleeves that fit standard Olympic plates. It suits home gyms doing squats, deadlifts and Olympic lifts on a power rack or Smith machine attachment point.
- Hardened chrome shaft rated to 85,000 PSI tensile strength
- Needle bearing and brass bushing sleeve construction
- Dual marked knurl for powerlifting and olympic hand positions
- 2 inch sleeves rated to a 1500 lb capacity
Who it's for
Garage gym owners who want one bar that covers deadlifts, hip thrusts, squats and Olympic lifts without buying separate barbells. Lifters who specifically want center knurling for back squats will want to look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Solid build feels heavier than expected
- Smooth needle bearing spin for lifts
- Secure diamond knurl grip
- Snap rings keep sleeve rotation stable
- No center knurling for back squats
- Tight j-hook clearance on narrow racks
