“Great quality bearing bar. Sleeves spin about 2 seconds. Thought it would be more. Finish is excellent.”

“Exactly what you’d expect from a reasonably priced training bar. Knurling isn’t crazy, but it’s better than most commercial gyms. The ribbed sleeves do tend to “sand” off a bit of my weight plate inners where they contact, but it’s not a huge deal, just not my favorite.”

“Best overall bar I have owned. It takes the place of several different bars without taking up the space. I have the center knurled version that allows me to do the big three lifts. The bearing bar teaches you to use your stabilizersAnd stay centered for your bench and your squad.”

“I have been using this bar for around 5 months now. Overall, it performs very well. I use it strictly for olympic lifts. The coating has held up very well, requiring minimum maintenance even being used in a garage gym. My only complaint is that the bearings on one sleeve appear to have developed a flat spot. It's not too noticeable, but if I toss some weight on the sleeve and spin it, you know it's there. I have not mistreated the bar. In fact, I avoid dropping the bar as much as possible. That is the only concern I have with an otherwise awesome bar.”

Thanks for your review. Bearings cannot develop a flat spot. Perhaps try dropping the bar with weights on it to break in the rotation.

“This review is for 20kg Oly training barbell. This barbell is high quality (so far) for the price point and strong enough for anything I will do with it. Knurling is positive for heavy lifts, but not so aggressive that it puts hands through cheese grater for longer workouts. Sleeves have nice spin.”

“The 20kg hard chrome 28mm with center knurl bearing training bar fit what I was looking for. Wanted a knurl less aggressive than my Absolute V2 power bar yet not to passive. This bar was it. Ordered on Saturday arrived on Wednesday. Excellent. Well done.”

“We have a mixture of recreational through international team weightlifters at our facility. All of them love these bars, and don't care if they use these or our more expensive "European" made bars. In hindsight, I wish we would've just gotten more of these. The metal does tarnish a little but it's hardly noticeable. Even though we lift in humidity during the summer it doesn't seem to have had an effect on the bearings or quality of spin. I would highly recommend these bearing bars to anyone, regardless of skill level.”
