LIONSCOOL 7FT Olympic Barbell for Weightlifting, Power Lifting, 2 Inch Strength Training Bar for Squats, Deadlifts, Presses, Rows, Curls - 700lbs/1000lbs/1500lbs Capacity

I’ve been using this bar for a few weeks now and all I can say is wow. It is much higher quality than I expected. I was using a cheap $90 Cap barbell before, and this Lionscool bar blows it out if the water. The knurling is perfect for a beginner. Plenty of grip. The chrome is nice with no chipping so far. The bearings are super smooth. If you can afford it, this is the bare minimum I would spend on a barbell. Anything cheaper is just trash, and you’ll be upgrading eventually anyways, like me lol. Don’t hesitate.

Ordered the bar to use for squats and dead lifts. Used probably few dozen times now and it's great. I can't speak to how this would compare to a very expensive bar but I have another similar price point bar that I use for benching that is rather stiff and you can feel the whip in this bar. Never would have thought of it as a positive thing but it really does help with the lifts.Probably the main reason I ordered the bar though was their customer service, this company truly sticks by their products. I had previously purchased some dumbells from them that were not good but within a day of mentioning the defect I had a representative reach out to me and solve the problem. Really solidified my trust in their products. They make sure that you have a high quality working product.

Packaged well (heavy duty tube packaged inside a long rectangular box), weighed in at almost exactly 44lbs (20kg), heavy coating of protective oil with a really fantastic finish, great spin, knurled grip is very nice and not rough on the hands. Overall, it’s a great bar that has a very nice feel to it and looks great too.

Well packaged to protect your investment! Bar is brilliant for a gym-comparable home gym. Well made, sturdy, exactly what I intended when I ordered. Great for squats, deadlifts, hip-thrusts, etc. Would order again!!

Nice knurling, good quality finish. Nice spin. Good value

The bar looks and feels great, but I did notice the bar is not perfectly straight, e.g., when the bar sits on the floor and you spin it, it becomes apparent it’s not perfectly straight. You wouldn’t notice the bend unless you do that test (and I’ve had no issues at all lifting with it), but the bend is regrettable.

High Quality product.

Works great. Great grip. Holds up to 1000lbs. Looks great and price was good as well as good ratings as a bench bar
