Pros & Cons
Pros
The machining on this thing is amazing. Bearings spin freely but just a note. The exceptional knurling, appropriate weight, and impressive build quality make it a top-tier product.
Black bar matches my setup nicely (purely aesthetic) no metal shavings from my bar, so i'm not sure if that's an issue. Only minor con is that this bar rolls.
The knurling provides grip without tearing up your hands. It ensures you have a confident hold on the bar throughout your lifts. The bar weight is right in line with what’s recommended for lifting.
This barbell is awesome! I’m getting a ton of use from it. Very impressed especially for the price.
The build quality of this olympic barbell is exceptional. I have complete confidence in its durability. Versatility is worth mentioning as well. I highly recommend this barbell to fitness enthusiasts and athletes.
Cons
My poor review is solely based on shipping and original packaging. Terrible packaging. Currently it is only $120 more than this chinese *.
This bar came rusted. The bar and knurling itself is dirty and rusty at the connection point. The third bar was not damaged but had shinny spots with chipping paint throughout the bar.

Price
I believe it offers excellent value for the price paid.
The price was reasonable and i know for a fact that this bar will last me a very, very long time.
Either way for the money this is a good bar.
I got a used one for under $100.
Shipping
This bar shipped fast and is fantastic.
It was sent in a tube and it couldn’t hold on.
A little oily in the shipment but i’m assuming that will go away with repeated use and wiping down.
Got this bar today, a few days earlier than the projected arrival after finding for a nice deal on prime days.
Packaging/appearance
Immediately apparent that it was good quality upon removing from the packaging.
Looks great with my garage gym set up.
The packaging was a real upgrade too since the other bars came with the finish messed up and the tubes they come in are beaten ... Read More
It doesn’t look like they use the tubes anymore as mine came in a box wrapped completely in styrofoam.
