BalanceFrom Standard Barbell Weightlifting Barbell

The bar has some weight to it. I put it on a scale and it weighs 12.4 lbs. It has rough texture for a better grip. Awesome upgrade from using a curved light bar. I had been using. Which felt like I was going to take the bar to the face from my wrist curving and no grip. This bar is WAY better.

I really like this bar and it's well made. The gnurling is just right in the sense that it's not too rough, nor is it too shallow like on cheaper bars. What I really like are the grip markings (gnurl rings) on this bar which you don't see often on 1" bars. This is really a classy and "professional" bar, meaning that it's not cheap looking or cheap feeling....it's SOLID. I would be confident loading up this bar much more than the $40 barbell I bought from another manufacturer. The gnurling and rings are actually better than what I've seen on some Olympic bars and I've been lifting for over 50 years. Get some quality collars for this bar and you'll have a really good set up.

Simple and straightforward:1. SPACESAVING: The 6ft length makes it possible for me to lift in my tiny basement with enough room between (squat) stands. My space can’t accommodate a 7ft bar.2. STURDY: Early in COVID, I committed to standard size plates (i.e. 1-1.5” holes) - they and standard DBs were all I could get. Later I was able to get a “collapsible” barbell bar. Good for lighter weights but I wanted to get back to the heavier sets I had been working on in the gym. Along came this bar. Here’s my experience on the heaviest I’m capable of right now:FLAT CHEST PRESS - takes the 250# I am up to like a champ. No bending problems. Yes the smaller circumference of the bar vs an Olympic 2” is noticeable. But it’s been nearly a year since I’ve been to my gym, so you get used to it.SQUATS - it starts bending a bit at 270# and above. By the time I get to 325 or so it’s noticeable, but I’ve never felt unsafe even getting towards 350. My workout space and squat stands require careful racking, so it doesn’t get thrown around. Again, the circumference of the bar feels different from a 2” bar, but you could use a pad or something. I’ve gotten used to it so I don’t.DEADLIFTS: of course it bends when I get up beyond 320 and certainly up to 400. Given the width of a deadlift grip, it’s less noticeable than in the squat. I still feel comfortable with it. Lastly, even after those heavier sessions, it doesn’t stay bent.SUMMARY: probably not a powerlifting bar, but for a regular guy or gal’s desire for some heavier lifts in a limited space and on a limited budget, this works very well.

Great quality at an affordable price. The only issue is that 1" clips do not fit, the bar is slightly smaller in diameter so I am on the hunt now for appropriately sized clips.

I bought these to practice my form and they work great. Really well made and worth every penny. Shipping was free,well packaged and delivered on time to my door for $20. Highly recommended.

I got a weight set on line (not Amazon) and it was cheap. With 60 pounds on the bar it was bending. Not safe. I went here to Amazon and got this steel bar. It won't bend in the least. Much safer.

The media could not be loaded.  I order 2 of them and opened one today. It’s not standard 1 inch bar as you can see clamps and plates slide easily so you have to order new weight plates and clamps to make it work. Also distance between hinges says 40.74 inch but actual distance is just 36 inch so it will not be usable on your rack with rack width of 34 inch or more. Will return both of them.

Very professional

Tiene muy buena calidad, pero su grosor no es de una pulgada, puede ser resuelto fácilmente

Generally this seems like a good barbell bar. I was hoping for a five foot bar, but I'm ok with six feet. I particularly like the smooth ends (vs. the kind with the spin collars) because it is easier to load plates. It would have been nice to have suitable collars included, which would have ensured a correct fit.

Very happy with it. Only issue I had was the month I had to weight for it to arrive

Bilanciere comodo.

Great product, very sturdy, and everything described is true
