Quality


I have been very happy with the sturdiness and quality of this bar.


It’s durable, easy to move and works great.

Price


• affordable: offers great value for the price.


For $50 to your doorstep, it's an epic deal.


I’m not spending $200 on a bar.


Bought a cheap 7’ bar because i didn’t want to use my expensive one for a landmine bar.

Shipping


I received it two day after purchase.


I had to reject the delivery due to shipping damage.

Packaging/appearance


Very happy with the quality of this barbell and it was packaged very well!

Competitiveness


I think it is just as good as the name brands i had been using previously.


The cap barbell 2” olympic 7’ barbell is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and affordable barbell for their home gym.


There is nothing on amazon that will even come close to the quality of that bar for its price.


I was used to "name brand" weights and accessories, so i took a chance on this one.

    No center knurling but good for a cheap 6 general purpose bar


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Will probably get another 7 power bar at some point from another higher end company and use this one for landmines


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Is only a 35 pound bar and not 45 but so far i have zero complaints on what i received vs what i paid


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If youre a hardcore weight lifter and putting 300 pounds on it maybe you should get a higher quality bar but for my needs never use more than 200 pounds i have nothing bad to say about it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is crucial for olympic lifts where the bar needs to rotate freely in your hands


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Despite its lower price point it does not compromise on quality ensuring you get a product that performs well


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Cons • bushings instead of bearings while adequate for most bushings may not provide the same level of spin as bearings which could be a consideration for those focusing on olympic lifts
