Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Oly bar is a great value for a home exercise routine. Works great for barbell, easy curl and hammer curl exercises. Works perfect for bench and jerks. If you don't want a hollow bar, this is a solid option.

The knurling is nice, the collars are fine, the sleeves are fine. They fit 2inch plates but make sure you buy the * to keep the plates on while you exercise. Great grip, markings and is a solid single bar…not 2 pieces * together.



Cons

The bar has bushings, but they are only installed on the inboard side of the weight sleeve. The hex screw is so large i don't have one in my tool box. The issue i have is these collar screws for the metal collars that come with the bar.

The burning is akin to an onion, but the smell is like */roadkill. There is 1/4 of slop on the outer ends of the sleeves which makes a rattle that i really don't care for. They were extremely rusted.
