Great knurling!! This bar so far, meets our expectations!!

Great value! Great look and holds up with a lot of weight. I'll be getting more for my gyms!

This is a really great bar. It feels great on my shoulder when i try to squat.

I've had this for several months now and is still in perfect condition. This has been a great addition to my home gym. I use it at least 3 days a week.

love it just wish the packaging was better. it arrived with just a plastic bag around it. but other than that I love it

Well I purchased this bar more than a year ago, and boy has it held up extremely well. It's been outside (covered with a tent but nonetheless outside) in hail, rain, and sunshine all year long. It hasn't rusted one bit, the weights that were on the bar rusted a bit but the bar didn't. It's just as smooth and the bearings don't stick at all. It hasn't bent a bit with about 450+lbs while dead lifting so it's the absolute best.A few things to note, when I received it, it had a thin layer of some type of oil (protective I'd say?) but it was easily wiped off.Also, the knurling's are a bit shallow and I use gym chalk so they sort of fill up quickly but they are also very easily cleaned.

Excellent bar for an excellent price. The ends of the bar spin very well, keeping the weights from spinning. Has been excellent for squats, deadlifts, benching, over head presses. Some people have stated that the bar grip is a wider diameter than other bars. I have not noticed a difference. I will probably be purchasing another in the near future.

Nice and heavy, which is all that really mattered to me. Been pointed out, but no knurling in the center of the bar, but it has not become a concern after a lot of heavy lifting.

Great bar that is better than any bar I've used in a gym. The black paint wasn't cheaply painted on and I'm impressed at how durable it it when slamming against the metal pegs on my power rack.

I have used this product for over a month and am very satisfied with my purchase.The bar has held 320 lbs of plates for deadlifts and squats with no problems.There were a few small nicks on the edges of the collars when I received it, but nothing that would impede performance.The bar does pick up some of the paint off of the supports on my power rack, but this is of no concern to me and in no way effects performance.

Works well and looks great. Be prepared to clean the packaging oil off. Alcohol and hand towels are best. This ain't no windex job. Great deal for the money. I go 300+ and the bar barely flexes. The bearings are a nice touch. DO NOT GET A BAR WITHOUT THEM. My other non-bearing bar froze-up a year after purchase.
