Well packaged and sturdy!

Great bar been using for years

This SOLID barbell is very sturdy,with textured grip surface.

My son wanted a 7 foot bar to work better with our Marcy rack. It only has about 3 inches more between the collars than the 6 foot bar we already use. Works good with compact weight plates and will hold at least 250 pounds which is more than we will use.

Was hesitant to get a 7-ft barbell shipped, but everything went smoothly and it's a tremendous barbell for the price. About as sturdy as you'll find in standard size, A+ all around.

I have a pretty extensive home gym and have a variety of bars for Olympic plates from York, Ironmind, and other good manufacturers, but my bar for standard plates was starting to bug me because it has spin lock collars that loosen easily.I thought about getting a new 5' bar for my standard plates that I use for a few accessory lifts that would use regular collars and I started looking on Amazon. Some of the bars had reviews saying that they were a little thin and that spring collars wouldn't fit, but I didn't see anyone say that about this bar, so I bought it. This bar fits my standard plates perfectly. I tried some spring collars, which fit well, along with Ironmind Bulldog II collars, which also fit (the latter are what I use on dumbbells to keep the plates secure).The bar seems solid and weighs 14lbs. I saw some different assumptions about weight, so I got on my digital scale to weight myself, then grabbed the bar and stepped on the scale again. It's technically 13.8lb. by my scale, so I'm just rounding it to 14lb.The odd weight bugs my OCDa bit, so I put 1/2lb. micro plates on it to bring it to an even 15lb., although it honestly doesn't matter.I bought the black bar, just because chrome bars chip a little bit with time and I live in FL, where they'll get some rust (my gym is in my garage).Overall, I'm happy with this bar for what it is. It's inexpensive, but doesn't feel cheap. I didn't buy it for using on major, compound movements, since I have a variety of thick bars and Olympic bars for those, but it's great for accessory lifts. It's 5' long, so it's not going to work in my power rack, which is totally fine.Overall, I'd say you can't beat it for the bare bones $30 price tag.

Works exactly as you'd expect a barbell to work. Very sturdy.

This bar is very strong and does not bend like many other brands. It is also very reasonable priced at about half the price of other bars of the same length. I am very happy with this CAP barbell and fee very secure when doing lifts.
