5 jimbofromnewjersey
Shopped around for some farmer carry bars and what drew my attention to these besides the great price was the knurled grips that I did n't see most if not all of the others. I ordered them on a Friday and they were delivered on Wednesday. The packaging was in good shape and there were no flaws in the finish of the bars. The bars weighed in at 22. 2lbs each on my bathroom scale. There is 12 '' of sleeve length which will allow for plenty of weight. They came with 4 spring collars which is a good thing because standard spring collars are too big. But less than standard olympic sleeve diameter seems to be the norm with all these carry bars. I did find that my hex collars will also work on them, just not as tight as on an Olympic bar. I 'm very happy with the purchase and ca n't wait to try them out.

5 Rfg1
Good solid piece of equipment. Plenty of room to add plates. Not the nicest looking welds but that won ’ t effect the performance. Good price. I highly recommend these bars

5 GoBlue850
Bars arrived in better condition than I expected and seem to be very durable.

4 leftear139
Just got them and tried them out. Paint on collars is fragile, but I 'm not sure why the collars are painted anyway( main reason for 4 not 5 stars). They seem well built otherwise and held up to the 220# I had on each of them. They are well balanced and provided quite a workout. The knurling is pretty agressive, but similar to powerlifting bars. Chalk helped.

this product uses one inch clips to hold the weights on, no spinners to work loosewhen you do curls, bar can be stored vertically taking up very little space.

5 DavidB9999
I already had a 5' bar but wanted a little more room after getting a new bench. This worked great for me.

4 Dave
I do n't know if I got lucky or got some weird b- stock, but my bar is 84 '' which is 7'. But that's absolutely fine with me. That length allows for plenty of grip area: about 51 '' wide. So I have no problem with wider grip movements. The knurling of the grip area is( in my opinion) pretty aggressive- meaning it feels like it's a deeper, maybe even `` sharper '' grip. Some may like this, some may not. I prefer it. I do like that the center of the bar is NOT knurled. When doing any kind of clean or front squat, the center of the bar rests on the top of the chest and, to me, knurling the center scratches up the chest like crazy. If anyone is complaining about the bar not being an Olympic size, then those people apparently do n't know what `` standard '' means for barbells... they apparently also do n't look at photos of the product because there's no way you look at the pic of this bar and think it's Olympic size!;) It would be nice if a bar like this would include clamps/collars- those spring clamps are cheap, just include them! I had no problem getting my older standard size collars to fit but it seems that there are some people that have had to get larger clamps. Why a 'standard' collar does n't fit a 'standar' bar? I dunno. I mean, standard is supposed to mean standard, right? I double checked my bar, it looks be dead on 1 '' diameter. Hopefully people that purchase bar understand that it is not meant for really heavy Olympic lifts, it is not meant for rubber bumper plates that can be dropped. This is a basic bar made for home workout enthusiasts. I did go to the local store to purchase this bar, but they do n't carry this type in store... they only carry the bar with the `` screw on '' collars which I think are terrible( they always loosen). So they had me order it in store, online which was awesome because it ended up free shipping and arrived at my front door two days later!

4 rlzaleski
Wanted a 1 inch bar, this one seems to perform. Havent' had the opportunity to really load it up yet, but it definitely feels good. Someone complained about clips, it did n't come with any, but mine DO fit it. If you need a 1 '' bar, then this one should be good.

I 've worked out with this bar a couple of times and it is does exactly what it was designed to do. The length is ideal and the bar works well with my steel plates as well as plastic covered concrete weights. It would be great if the bar shipped in a tube, instead of the roughly 3 foot length of cardboard they taped around the middle. The bar survived the trip, just took time and some GooGone to get the sticky off.

I bought this bar online through the store having gone there to make the purchase but it was n't a stocked item. Packed securely and shipped quickly, it arrived within a couple of days in perfect condition. It's well made and just what I needed. Two issues- one, as another reviewer commented, the bar comes with what I assume is an anti- rust coating that's a little messy to remove. It would be nice if some instructions came for that. Maybe there were and I just did n't see them. And two- the clerk who took the order told me my email address would be used only to communicate regarding the order. Now a day does n't pass without multiple emails from Dick's and they drive me nuts. I 've gone through the unsubscribe process twice to no avail.

5 Shu
Great bar. The plate holders on each end of the bar are solid, instead of the two- piece screw- together type on cheaper bars. And the plate holders mount to the bar with good bearings that move smoothly during cleans. The bar weighs 45lbs with collars, but collars did not come with this bar. I 've only had the bar for a few weeks, and the other two Olympic bars I 've had I did not buy new. But so far I am happy with this bar and have no regrets. Oh, the bar did not arrive with end- caps on it to cover the assembly nuts, but those caps always seem to pop out during workouts anyway, so I did n't mind.

Love this bar! I like the 36 '' length. It is more versatile than my much shorter X3 bar, which I paid$ 500 for. It's also short enough to work out in tight spaces and breaks apart to fit in a suit case. I use it with my tube bands and my pilates reformer. Using it with a door anchor opens a myriad of options beyond what is recommended in the accompanying brochure. I 'm able to hit all muscle groups. I feel great after working out with it.

This bar is perfect for targeting triceps or doing rows. Good quality bar. I 'm not a big fan of the clasps that come with it, but I already had my own that fit fine on the bar, so I threw those away.

5 warren
This is one of the best weight bar you can get for maximum performance. I used one of these in my early 20s and I weighed 170 pounds at 5/7 inches tall and I got to the point that I could lift 300 pounds off the floor and over my head with ease. I am now 48 and have started lifting again and after two weeks I can see huge difference in my biceps and triceps. I weigh 205 now but plan on cutting weight and I should be able to get back to the 29 inch waist I had in my 20s with the right exercise and nutrition. I promise you that if you get one of these bars and concentrate on your body and picture it in your mind how you want it to look you will achieve your goals. I really enjoy lifting with this bar.

My goal was finding an Olympic bar/bumper plates for dead lifts and hip thrusts. Since I 'm only 5ft 1in, I felt the 7 ft bar would be too cumbersome. But I was hesitant to order the Body Solid bar because the reviews for the 5ft bar indicated it was covered with an oily/sticky coating that was difficult to remove. I was greatly relieved that was not the case. It was wrapped in plastic inside a hard cardboard tube. Quick and easy to unpack. Both the Olympic bar/bumper plates totally fit my requirements.

I bought this 3 piece set just for the 2 DBs. My gym's DBs max- out at only 125 pounds each, so I bring these little guys in my Training Bag and put up to 8 45- pound Olympic Plates on each to do Extremely Heavy Bent 1- Armed DB Rows at 360 pounds. I 've been doing this for years and I 'm just now replacing them with new ones 'cuz they eventually bend from the severe abuse that I put them through.( I do INSANE things with them!) Anyway, they 're a great value at$ 50 and I could n't live without them now! Highly Recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions For Straight Bars

Straight bars are versatile tools commonly used in strength training for a variety of exercises. They can be utilized for compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, helping to build overall strength and muscle mass. Additionally, they are effective for isolation exercises, allowing users to target specific muscle groups.

Straight bars are usually constructed from durable materials such as steel, which provides strength and stability during workouts. Some bars may have a coating or finish to enhance grip and prevent rust. The choice of materials can affect the bar's weight capacity and overall longevity.

When selecting a straight bar, consider factors such as your fitness goals, the types of exercises you plan to perform, and your experience level. Look for bars that offer the right weight capacity and grip style for your needs. Additionally, consider the length and diameter of the bar, as these can impact your comfort and performance.

Yes, straight bars come in various styles designed for specific training purposes. Some may have a standard design for general use, while others are tailored for specific exercises or muscle groups. It's important to choose a style that aligns with your workout routine and preferences.

Straight bars offer several advantages, including stability and the ability to perform a wide range of exercises. They provide a consistent grip and balance, which can enhance performance and safety during lifts.
