MAXSTRENGTH Weight Lifting Barbell Bar 2 Inch With Spring Lock Collars Chrome, Anti-Slip Hand Grip, Solid Steel, Gym Equipment Bodybuilding Workout Fitness Training Heavy Duty 4ft, 5ft, 6ft, 7ft

Brilliant weight bar .. exact length and weight I needed !! Strong stable !! Perfect fit for me and my bench ..

Good sturdy bar which fits nicely in limited space.

Just as described. Really quick delivery. Excellent value Olympic bar. Have been looking for a slightly lighter bar throughout all the lockdowns and restrictions and they've been rare or overpriced. This one is perfect. A good weight for me as a beginner, I can use the bar alone and some lighter weights from my partners bar set.

I would give it 5 stars but the clips, while very well constructed, are not enough to hold the weights firmly in place. Not a biggie, you just have to reset them regularly or they will wobble.

There was an issue with the item, I contacted the seller and we discussed a solution. Great customer service, good response time and the bar serves its purpose. Thank you

top item.

I'm finding the shorter bar really useful just from the perspective of the space it takes up for storage and when exercising in a smallish room. But I wouldn't recommend this for handling really heavy weights; the collars rotate a bit too easily and with some slop, and the central portion is thinner than I' used to, so cuts into your hands a bit more (the knurling is quite light, and several inches off centre in my case, but that doesn't matter) There was no documentation on what weight it's rated to; so a complete guess on my part would say that 250lbs seems fine with a wide grip, but I'd feel nervous at that weight with your hands together in a narrow grip. But I'm perfectly happy with it at this price point. Edit: I have since bought the TNP Accessories 4ft olympic barbell as the 1.0inch grip was uncomfortable with anything heavy - the TNP bar has a 1.1inch grip which makes all the difference and seems better quality and more robust too. Nothing wrong with this bar, but alongside the TNP bar I'd rate it 3 vs 5.

Great bar, slightly thinner grip than expected but still ok. Only problem is it has a ridged texture where you put the weight plates instead of smooth, like most bars, which is unexpected. This isnt a big problem, it just feels a bit weird putting on the plates as they rub a little on the bar.

Being older, with bad knees, the heavier weight bars are too much for me to start out. This bar is perfect - lighter, but substantial, and not too long.
