The bar is excellent for working triceps.

For a tricep bar, it works. However, the sizing on the plate carrier is machined roughly an eighth inch too small. This causes a rather disconcerting clanging at the top of each triceps extension rep. That's not something you really want to hear A) that close to your ears, and B) when you have a weighted metal object directly over your head.I wish I could give the collars a separate review; if so, I'd give them 0-1 stars. They are terrible - beyond use for more than a paperweight. The anchor bolt hole isn't even drilled straight. Plus the plating made the entry threads unequal - you can't even get the bolt started. In order to even use these, I'm going to have to re-tap the stupid hole. Ridiculous.Note to manufacturer: buy a decent drill press and RE-TAP as the last machining step. Jeez, my 9yo nephew could have made a better collar....

To narrow between grip and weights, weights rub on arms when doing different exercise, this bar wasnt for me but would work well for someone with shorter reach and smaller build

I usually buy Body Solid bars. However, their tricep bar is more expensive (with shipping) and sold by Fitness Factory (takes them several days to ship). I'm impatient, and this had mostly good reviews, so I went with this one. I'm very impressed with the quality. It is a solid piece that weighs about 25 lbs. I've never use the collars that came with it. I just dont like that type of collar. I have several pairs of spring collars and use those instead. I don't know how the bar itself could be any better, though.

This is well constructed and goes perfect with my at home gym setup ... its not cheap quality and the handle revolve which i like because it helps build stabilizer muscles i would definitely but this exact one again!

It's good enough. The welds are fine and the finish is decent. The finish around the ends of the bar that the weights fit on has started to flake off after a few months. Otherwise it is still in good shape. The ends rotate freely and functionally it is fine.

this triceps bar is great. its heavy and very well made . i would recomend getting the spring stlye collars.

Plate rotation is smooth, grips feel natural in width and distance apart. I've used quite a few different bars in gyms and own several of my own but of a different brand, the ones I own weren't cheap and are good quality but I would say that this bar stands apart when comparing overall quality. In the future I will be looking for 'Champion' branded items.

Quality is great, price was right. Very solid and heavy, 25 lbs with collars.. I would recommend this bar to anyone.

Must say with only 2 reviews i was hesitant to buy but this is one of the best triceps bar i have ever used, over the years i may have used 20 or so gym bars this is near or at the top off all them. Very heavy i should have weighed it but oh well, what i like most is virtually all bars with an end that rotates has a squeak and a grind feel where you can tell the cylinder and shaft are not quite right, this is completely smooth very nice unit.Possible con: The grip could use to be spread apart seems a little close "maybe it is correct for triceps" I like to use tri bar for biceps from time to time while i can do it just feels a little off but of course i can still do it.The collar fit is just right on mine although i prefer springs myself

Pro: Solid build. Gym quality. Great Tricep Bar.Con: Can not keep the collars tight. You should buy spring collars with this bar.

This barbell by itself is very heavy. The configuration of the barbell and the material used to make it provides body balance, since it gives great support to lift, while still heavy. Since the barbell is small, it provides the least amount of room to use.
