Overview
A 30-inch steel tricep bar with 2-inch threaded sleeves and knurled rubber handles, built for accessory lifts like tricep extensions, curls, shrugs and close-grip presses in a home gym.
Despite the Olympic name in the listing, this is a light accessory bar, 6 lbs with a 200 lb rated capacity, rather than a full Olympic barbell for heavy compound lifts. It's positioned for isolation work such as triceps, biceps and shrugs, not as a squat or deadlift bar replacement.
- 30-inch bar, 6 lbs, 200 lb weight capacity
- 2-inch threaded sleeves, 6.89 in loadable space per side
- 5.3-inch knurled rubber grip handles
- Steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
Who it's for
Fits lifters who want an inexpensive accessory bar for arm and shoulder isolation work in a home gym. Not a fit for anyone loading it up heavy or expecting a full-width powerlifting bar, since reviewers found the frame narrow and light-duty.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers using it for light to moderate accessory work like the grip and call it good value, and several note that standard plates and clips fit properly. Complaints cluster at the low end: one reviewer returned it after the clips wouldn't tighten enough to trust with weight on, and others wished the bar were a bit wider for comfort with bumper plates.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Rubber grips have a solid knurl per reviewers
- Assembles in a few minutes
- Standard 2-inch sleeves fit common plates
- Frame is narrow, can rub forearms with wider bumper plates
- Feels light and flexes when loaded near capacity
- Plate clips can be hard to tighten securely
Performance notes
The bar accepts standard 2-inch sleeve plates with 6.89 inches of loadable space per side, and the knurled rubber grips hold up under normal use according to reviewers. Near the top of its 200 lb rating, some buyers found the bar flexes and the plate clips don't always cinch tight enough for confidence, and the narrower frame can crowd the forearms when paired with bumper plates.

Questions about the Olympic b002
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
How much weight can the Olympic 30-inch tricep bar hold?
It's rated for 200 lbs, and reviewers note it starts to feel unstable as you approach that limit.
Will bumper plates fit comfortably on this tricep bar?
Bumper plates fit, but their larger diameter can crowd the forearms during close-grip movements; reviewers say standard steel plates leave more clearance.
Does the tricep bar come assembled?
No, reviewers describe roughly five minutes of simple assembly out of the box.
