Weider 7-Foot Olympic Barbell for 2” Olympic-Sized Weight Plates, 3-Piece

Great portable bar.

Overall very impressed with this bar. Used to have one like it in our high school weight room. Assembled very easy and the pins were easy to hammer in. I wasn't expecting the spring collars but they were an added benefit. going to do first home workout today.

Awesome bar, Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Simple hammer and common sense and boom you have an amazing barbell. I even bought two just to have an extra one. Cant beat the price at all

Fit and finish aren't fantastic but the bar does work. I picked this up as a Landmine bar and for technique work. I selected it over the slightly more expensive CAP single piece bar because it's 25lb and I was intentionally looking for a light weight bar. In the 25lb/86” long category you usually need to find a much more expensive Olympic style technique bar which would not be as good for landmine work. I've loaded up one side in a landmine with 90lb and it did not so much as flex. I expect the 310lb rating is correct but you're going to wear some part of it out eventually. The knurling is passive so as you get closer to that limit you will want a better bar with an improved grip. If you have a specific need for a cheap bar you won't cry when it is dinged up or something very light then this works well. As for the downsides, the pins are in a weird spot if you need to use the full length of the bar for your workouts. You should put some grip tape over them just to avoid cuts. The passive knurling will limit your lifts as you climb towards the bar's limit. The plastic end caps are terrible quality. I had to shave mine down to get my weights into the sleeves. All in all wouldn't be as big of a deal when you consider the low price but Walmart sells a better quality CAP single piece general use bar for a few more dollars. You get what you pay for and even with the issues with this design I'm happy with my purchase.

This is not the best bar. Its okay for the price but its not something you could use long term. I got it because there are limited options during covid but once I am able to get a proper bar I will do that. Since it comes in 3 pieces you have to assemble. The spots where you assemble are right where you hold it so that is uncomfortable.

Sides are plastic. Clamp does not work on plastic. Not a good quality but works.

Not safe as complete bar, only recommend with less weight until one piece unit becomes available. I would not recommend this product.

Easy to assemble with a hammer but unfortunately the side 2 inch bars are loose and wobbly and one side of the inside welding broke when I added the plates so I did a return, unfortunately I could not disassemble because the nails are permanent after you hammer them in....so I wrapped it all up in a long 7 foot shipping mess but they picked it up no problem....so its a hit and miss

On the day one, One side of the barbell came out, Luckily It was not loaded with weights. Manufacturing defect. will be returning to the product.

It did not come with all the pieces 2 pieces are missing and I need them!
