5.0 out of 5 stars Great budget 7' olympic barbell from a real brand in the fitness industry
Let me start with saying I own the 5 foot and two of the 6 foot versions of this bar and this 7 foot version is way better in so many ways. For the record there are several 7 foot versions of this bar, I ordered the "classic" in "chrome." I ordered it because I wanted to improve grip strength with a 30mm barbell and this was the cheapest one from an actual company that I have heard of. As an added bonus it includes free shipping in the price.Like the shorter versions of this bar that they make it does spin but at this price point as expected it is metal grinding on metal (not bushings or bearings). I am okay with this do to the cheap cost and that I only wanted to use it for a short while so why pay more? The knurling really impressed me since this one is a passive/medium knurl unlike the others I have mentioned which were passive or in one instance almost non existent in spots. This knurl is consistent on this bar so it is easy to grab hold of and unlike others it has a center knurl making squats much easier to perform. I like the chrome finish (all my others are in basic black) making this bar look sharp.This would make a good starter barbell for anyone either on a budget or just not sure if a home gym is for them and not wanting to buy a pricey bar until they know it will actually be used. Either way if you outgrow this bar (which most people will) it can be repurposed as a landmine bar since its cheap and you wont care when the sleeves get scuffed up.Some important information to know about this bar:It is an olympic bar so it holds 2" weight plates (not standard 1" plates).It is 30mm in diameter which is thicker than normal. Most are 25mm (womens), 28mm, 28.5mm or 29mm for men.The weight is not the norm since it is only 30 lbs instead of 45 lbsIt is the proper length so it is rackable.With only a 63k tensile strength I know that it would not be safe to load 500 lbs on it like they claim. I own many barbells and a 110k tensile strength is the actual strength needed to hold up to 500 lbs. So with that in mind I would say 300 lbs is probably the max weight capacity of this bar. Better bars that you will want to keep are 190k tensile strength and can hold at least 1,000 lbs.Never max out a barbell, bench or rack for safety reasons so I would say 250 lbs is probably what is safe to load on this barbell which is one reason it is so cheap and I recommend as a starter bar that can later be just for landmine exercises. Again for the price, the quality of the knurl (with center knurl) and for what I wanted this bar for I do recommend this barbell.If however you are okay spending a little more consider "The Beast" or the "The Boss" both by the same company (CAP Barbell). Both are much better bars capable of heavier weight capacities, bushings, better knurl and a 5 year warranty instead of only 30 days. I have owned "The Beast" since January 2021 and it is still my bench press bar of choice.
5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy-Duty Barbell That Delivers Commercial-Gym Quality
I’ve been lifting with the Black CAP 7-foot Olympic bar for a few months, and it’s a powerhouse. The knurling is grippy without being harsh, giving me excellent control on heavy pulls and presses. The black oxide finish not only looks sharp but also resists rust and wear—still sleek after plenty of sweat and chalk.The sleeves spin smoothly on their bushings, so cleans and snatches feel fluid, yet the bar remains stable under heavy squats and deadlifts. Rated for serious weight, it handles my heaviest lifts with zero flex or rattle.For a home gym, this bar feels like a professional piece of equipment at a great value. If you want a reliable, no-nonsense Olympic bar that will last for years, this Black CAP 7ft barbell is an outstanding choice.
5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best value / high intensity barbell you can find...
Let's be clear, if you are starting a home gym and haven't lifted in a long while, this bar is a 5/5. Knurling is great. Has a great weight to the bar. Weighing 16kg (35lbs), this bar is amazing. Feels strong and sturdy.The limit capacity states it has a cap around 500lbs. And let's be clear, for new lifters and people who haven't been to the gym in a while, that is well more than enough weight. I haven't tested this capacity yet; nor do I plan to. I've been slapping on a couple 45's and smaller plates totaling around 175lbs and this thing is rock solid. As it should be.Big HOWEVER, if you're a naturally strong person, or someone who has strength trained for a while, maybe watch some reviews for the bar. See how well it will stack up to other brands at whatever level you're lifting at.I don't see this thing giving out around the 500lbs mark. It just seems like it has more range than that based on my experience. So, in a nutshell, it screams value for the price. CAP is a great value brand. (Not cheap, but VALUE) Never dissatisfied with them. This barbell has went great with my MIkolo Power Cage. :)New / Returning Lifters: 5/5Pro / Experienced: 4.5 / 5 (or better)Just my opinion on the matter. Unless you're a strong man competitor, I'd say this bar will deliver! Hope this review helps! Take care guys!
5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Quality and Performance
From the moment I unboxed my CAP barbell, I knew I had made the right choice. The build quality is simply unparalleled; it's evident that CAP has put a great deal of thought and expertise into crafting this piece of equipment. The barbell feels sturdy and well-balanced in my hands, providing a solid grip that inspires confidence during my lifts.What truly sets this barbell apart is its remarkable durability. I've been using it extensively for both heavy deadlifts and high-rep training sessions, and it shows no signs of wear and tear. The knurling is perfectly designed, offering just the right amount of grip without being overly abrasive on my hands.Another aspect I greatly appreciate is the barbell's versatility. It fits seamlessly into my workout routine, whether I'm focusing on powerlifting, Olympic lifts, or general conditioning. The smooth rotation of the sleeves has been a game-changer, ensuring efficient and safe execution of my lifts.Customer service from CAP was also top-notch. They were helpful and responsive, ensuring that my barbell arrived promptly and in perfect condition. It's clear that CAP values its customers and stands behind the quality of its products.In conclusion, the CAP barbell has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. It offers professional-grade quality, exceptional durability, and versatility, all at a very reasonable price point. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just beginning your fitness journey, I highly recommend this barbell. It's an investment in your training that you won't regret.
I like the item but my issue is with the delivery company Aramex
I like the item but the delivery company Aramex is the worst. They don’t deliver my packages home. When I say I need the item delivered to my house. They say we don’t deliver. I went to pick it from their office. It took me half an hour to get my package because of the slow process. Only one employee and one old computer that froze and had to wait for it to work.The item didn’t fit into my small car. I had to leave and get another big car.
Commercial quality at a great price.
Was a little uncertain when purchased but the quality upon receiving was great. Its what you would expect at a commercial gym so I was happy.
For the price, it’s hard to beat.
This bar feels exactly like what you’d expect in a proper gym, solid knurling, smooth sleeves, and the right weight. At 7 feet, it fits my rack perfectly, and the standard Olympic sizing means it works with all my plates. I’ve been using it for squats, deadlifts, and presses, and it hasn’t warped or loosened up at all. The finish gives it a clean look, and it’s heavy-duty enough that I don’t worry about loading it up! Now off to lift!
exactly as it should be.
its a barbell. as advertised.
Yup!
It’s heavy. But it’s a solid piece. Great price point. I’m very pleased.
