The Original 2028 Olympic bar is our best selling bar, and fits the bill perfectly when you're looking for a bar on a budget. It is Olympic standard size and weight (2.2m long and 20kg) and is made of straight steel with 50mm sleeves on the ends, and a 28mm diameter shaft, which is rare for a bar in this price range.

The bar is perfect for static lifts such as Squats, Deadlifts and Presses.

The Black E-Coating (electrophoretic painting) on the barbell is a process using electricity to apply the coating making the finish hard wearing, durable and gives benefits with aiding in corrosion resistance from water and other household chemicals.

Check Terms and Conditions for Bar Usage Guidelines and Warranties.

Testimonials,
"The training bar is awesome, and knurling is much better than I thought it would be. Would recommend it to anyone."
Ian - Ayrshire

"It's superb for such a cheap bar. Good knurling for grip, a clean 20 Kilos on the scale and the sleeves spin fine. Really couldn't recommend a better bar to anyone who didn't want to spend too much on one, whether they were a friend or a gym owner! Thanks."
Alex - Reading

Excellent Value

Got this on sale and it's been great. Finish is nice although a bit of powder and oil from the factory will come off on the first few uses which I assume is normal.

Feels just as good and arguably better than the bars being used in the mainstream commercial gyms in the area. Good aggressive knurling and smooth action on the ends. Only had 110kg on the bar so far but no bending or anything noticeable so looks to be a good choice for those starting out a home gym.

The perfect cheap black bar!

Mine arrived this morning. Superbly packed by Strength Shop. It's a bit shinier than it appears on the website - but still looks amazing, has good knurling, feels great in the hand. Did some lighter test lifts - really good. Can't wait to add more plates and lift more at the weekend.

Spot on

Purchased thinking the black render looked dodgy, but it is 100x better in person. absolutely quality bar, grip and knurling is spot on. Spin is good, plan on brushing and oiling once a week with an oil on the bearings once a month. 10/10 will order from Strength again. Also the person who doesnt like the logo needs to get some taste lol
