Independent reviews of the bar,

"The bar is lovely, nice knurling, good flex and spin! In that price range I've used rogue bars and the again faster klokov bar, even used the Taishan bar, and this bar to me feels the most comfortable and is definitely the most versatile of the lot! Super pleased with it! Will definitely point people towards this bad when asked! It's one of the best if not the best bar for crossfit that I've used, and as great a quality that rogue bars are, I would definitely take the bastard bar over the Ohio or rogue bar!" - Jordan - July 2015

Great all round barbell

Purchased this barbell on a Friday and it arrived on the Monday. Quick and easy to order with fast delivery.

Barbell itself is fantastic! Great all round general purpose barbell that is use for everything: squats, deadlifts, bench, pressing, cleans, rows etc. The mixture of bearings ensures you get the best of both worlds and for the price and weight tolerances you won’t find a better barbell quality for the same price or cheaper. Couldn’t recommend this barbell enough and the Customer Service is second to none!

Great bar

Very sturdy bar. Great for the main lifts like squat, deadlift, bench, and press. My clients love it. Knurling is perfect as not too aggressive. Recommend

No regrets

I honestly never thought a barbell would be so important to me when I started out in fitness But of course it is. Lush bar that I use regularly, lift heavy with as does my husband. Hit my 70 kg barbell bench last week which was my PB, have known to call it’s by it’s name haha but the best feeling to have your own barbell and plates. No regrets on the purchase. Thanks strengths shop
