Olympic Barbell 7ft 1500LB Capacity - Durable Hard Chrome Strength Training Bar with 28mm Grip & Needle Bearings - Powerlifting & Weightlifting Barbell for Deadlifts Squats Bench Press Home Gym Fitness Equipment

Have three other E.T. Energic bars, and had always been amazed by the quality, especially vs the low price. The rotation is excellent.I have always recommended E.T. Energic bars to others, and will continue to do so. As a side note, I very recently purchased their power bar (29mm Shaft) and the rotation, while less than this bar (but preferrable for a power bar) is quiet, smooth, and what I have come to expect from E.T. Energic. Their bars have always been (at least the other three I own) comparable to much higher priced offerings, and as I have owned Ivanko, Rogue, York, Rep Fitness, and many others over the years, I can say this with confidence and experience.I was really looking forward to receiving this bar, the gold and black scheme being really cool, and I'm sure it will last pretty much forever. It's a great bar.For what it is, what it does, and what it costs: Five StarsI am the Totally Unbiased Reviewer Dude (T.U.R.D.) and that is how I see it.

Very high quality. Knurling depth is perfect. Sleeves rotate freely. Highly recommend this bar.

The media could not be loaded. I was expecting a good barbell when I purchased this but I am actually surprised that this is just as good as any barbell I have used in a commercial gym. The knurling is very grippy and the finish of the bar feels great to lift with. The bearings are super smooth and there is no play on or out on the sleeves. It is definitely a bargain and is just as good as bars twice the price. Excellent for the home gym and even commercial use.

Overall very happy with the barbell. It is in the “budget” barbell category and it’s better than I was expecting. It’s grippy and sturdy. Very comfortable for a multi purpose bar.

Packaged well. Awesome quality.. I'm super pumped to use my new bench bar..

First, the bar was well packaged... it was in a close fitting round cardboard tube with closed ends... then that was put into a "square" (looking at the end) box that was well taped. So it was well protected from the ape world.Now for the bar itself: Beautiful workmanship! I'm proud to have it in my gym. It weighs 44lb 3.75oz... not perfect for world record setting but perfect enough for my world. The receiving ends measure 1.97" (again perfect). They slipped into my new bumper plates like butter. And speaking of the ends... they spin like ice skates on ice. And thats important when you are going to clean and jerk 900#... you only want the bar to rotate... you DO NOT want to get all that weight rotating!! Roller bearings rule. The more... the merrier.I'm very impressed and I will order this bar again.As for the bar strength... I'll let you know if it bends when I c&j the 900lbs.

Overall I like this bar, tight tolerances, good whip, and good spin. The knurling is pretty passive but gets the job done. One of my sleeves is ribbed and the other is smooth.. so quality’s not the most consistent. At this price I can’t be too upset but worth noting.

The media could not be loaded. This bar here no lie is a show stopper which I get it that's it's for working out but this jokers just that clean! I can't wait to buy thr matching ez bar! Perfect size for rack and the ergonomics are on point! The ends spin so it keeps the weight balanced so it's PERFECT!
