What a difference
Ive had and used a fair few barbells in my time. I wasn't expecting anything too special based on the price, but I was so wrong!

Great product and delivery
Very happy with my purchase and speed of delivery, great quality at a reasonable price. Getting weights delivered isn’t always easy, but this was quick and the delivery man was very helpful.

Item itself is exactly how it is described on the website. It however arrived after a hiccup or two and slightly scratched despite being in its wrapper.
