Some users have noted that while bushings instead of bearings may not provide the same level of spin as more expensive options, the bar still offers excellent value for the price and meets the needs of both beginners and experienced lifters.

However, some customers have noted issues with the sleeves, including noise and lack of center knurling.

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.

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

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

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
