BalanceFrom 2 In. Olympic Weightlifting Barbell Weight Bar, 5 Ft., 700 Lb. Capacity

Olympic bar arrived on time and was nicely packaged in a tube box with screw reinforcements . My only compliant is a black residue I had to clean off the bar with a hefty amount of alcohol pads . Otherwise , the bar is beautiful and appears to be well made . I have only used it once for ab roll-outs with 2 25lb bumper plates . Great price , great product .

Just received the new bar. Last time I posted about receiving the wrong one. I ordered a 2 inches bar and received the 1 inch bar. I started a return and they sent me the right. I got it today. Box was broken but the bar is in good shape. It only has a little thing on one of the ends (see picture bellow) but not a big deal. It look great and it seems to be of good quality. Thank you!! Happy with my purchase. (For anyone who get the wrong bar, just start a return and you will get the right one. It’s not a big deal. Even though I started a return, I kept the first one until I got the new one. Just in case. Also, they give you almost a month to return the wrong one. If not return, you will be charge for the second bar.) I hope this helps whoever reads it.

The item looks great and it can hold the amount of weight as advertised, but I miscalculated on the size of the bar in comparison to the inner area of the power cage and it was just too short when racked. Unless you have a much narrower power cage less than 30 inches in diameter, this is not the one for you. You can still get some workouts done.

I've been looking for a bar, both new or used but they are all so expensive. When I came across this one, I was worried cause the price was so good. But no need to worry, it's great quality and have no concern it can handle the weight I use 180lbs (2 x 45lbs plates per side). I recommend this bar.

I was lucky to get one of these before the fitness shortage hit with all the gyms closing. I have been incredibly impressed with the quality and durability of this barbell. You can pay more for a barbell, but you'll be wasting your money. Very happy with my purchase and I plan to buy more Everday Essential fitness products.

I ordered the 5 foot barbell right before all gym equipment sold out. I was sceptical, but we got this bar (early) and for such a rest fair price, it exceeded our expectations. Perfect for rows, push press, and adding bumper plates to. Once the 6 and 7 foot come back in stock we will definitely be ordering those!

Previously bought the 7-Foot Everyday Essentials bar, but we needed a shorter/lighter bar for non-cage/bench exercises in home garage gym. My wife and her gf love this 5-Foot bar and I'm HAPPY they are NOT swinging a 7-Foot barbell in the garage by my car and workbench tools.

This 5 foot olmpic bar seems to be well constructed and funcional. The packageing was such that the bar was not damaged during shipping. I use bumper plates from another supplier and they fit on this bar perfectly.

It was easy to set up and is well made, and we appreciated how hard it must have been to wrap for shipping, and it wasn't damaged at all. Works great.

Packaging was insufficient. The bar was scuffed and damaged on both ends where it blew out of the packaging in transit. Looking at the finish at either end, literal metal shavings were pulling up onto my finger. The middle of the tube was cracked in half. I returned it. YGWYPF.
