Overview
A 7 foot, 2 inch Olympic barbell built from high-tensile steel with a black e-coat finish, needle bearing and bushing sleeves, and medium-depth knurling, rated to 700 lbs capacity.
The listing title references 700, 1,000 and 1,500 lb capacity versions, but the spec sheet for this ASIN lists a 700 lb rating specifically, so buyers comparing capacity should check which version they're ordering. At 20 kg (about 44 lb) it matches standard competition bar weight.
- 700 lb capacity, 130,000 PSI steel
- Needle bearing and bushing sleeve rotation
- 1.5mm medium-depth knurl with 4.7 inch center knurl
- 20 kg (44 lb) bar weight, 28.5mm grip diameter
Who it's for
Aimed at home gym owners setting up squat, deadlift and press work who want a bar that spins under load rather than a static budget bar. Less suited to lifters who need a bar rated above 700 lbs.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Needle bearing and bushing sleeves for smooth spin
- 20 kg / 44 lb weight matches standard competition bars
- Black e-coat finish for corrosion resistance
- Center knurl aids back contact during squats
- Title lists multiple capacity versions, so confirm which one you're ordering
- No stated whip or PSI test data beyond the base tensile figure
Performance notes
A needle bearing and bushing hybrid in the sleeves is meant to let the bar spin freely under load, which matters most for lifts like snatches and cleans where the plates need to rotate independently of the bar. The 1.5mm knurl depth is cut to grip without tearing up hands on high-rep sets.
