CAP Barbell2-Inch Olympic Barbell Bars | 5 ft, 6 ft, & 7 ft | Multiple Options

Although Amazon completely destroyed one end of the cardboard box the bar was undamaged, which indicates good protective packaging. The chrome finish is very clean and smooth, and the knurling on the bar feels just right with and without gloves. The 28mm size feels substantial but not oversized. This bar is actually round. I have another Olympic bar (not Cap brand) that came as part of a complete set, and you can feel several flat spots around the circumference of the bar. When spinning the new bar inside the bearings with no load there is some squeaking, and I'll probably disassemble and lubricate it. Otherwise, there is no excessive play in the parts.Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase. It looks and feels like a high end bar but without the high end price. I have a small workout space and the 5' length is perfect for dead lifts, freeing up my 7' bar to become a permanent home on the bench.

It’s black so it matches the gym I just put together. Better yet it fits between the two bars that hold the 6 foot Olympic bar. No complaints.

I like this as it isn't as heavy as a traditional barbell and perfect for my home exercise needs. If you are a hardcore fitness person you should go to the fitness store or look elsewhere

I didn't know if I wanted a 4ft bar vs a 5ft bar like this. And this ended up being the perfect length for hip thrusts. It makes hip thrusts so much easier to just have a dedicated small bar that gives you plenty of room for your hands. Slap a squat pad on it and this 5ft guy just so easy to manage and set up for hip thrusts. A 7ft bar is just so unwieldy. And with large bumper plates I can roll it on and off my body so easy. Knurling is decent and it has a nice slick feel, doesn't seem to wear that much at all.

Excellent quality barbell, excellent weight. Appears that the delivery guy has a problem and broke one of the end caps upon arrival.

this things awesome

Just as described

This bar is great. It holds up very well to being racked and having clamps put off and on.
