Bought this last time. Product is acceptable for the price, the pins that hold the two halves of the "barbell" feel somewhat unsafe, I wrapped mine in tape. Also the pins aren't great if you want to back squat. Wrap it in a towel or get a foam cover.
As for the box, it was absolute garbage. I picked up one off the rack and the box disintegrated. Picked up a few others and had the same results. Having someone else help you pick it up and put it into the cart is helpful only to have four support points on the box rather than two.
I have had barbells with these same pins in the garage for two decades. No need to worry about longevity, it's a good product
I have over 25 years in the fitness industry and this is a common confusion for those not deep into the gym life.
The type of barbell that you see in a commercial gym setting is termed "Olympic" barbell. Usually 7 ft long, 28mm thick and weighs around 45lbs. Uses weight plates with 2 inch holes.
This item is a "standard" size. Small, shorter, thinner and lighter. Uses 1 inch "standard" plates. Mainly for beginners and small home gyms. Generally you won't find these in commercial gyms except perhaps in a group cardio/weightlifting class. Point is, they really aren't the "standard".
Most likely you are referring to Olympic barbells.

Walmart cancelled my order due to "high demand". :/
Same here. I actually went to Walmart and found the 110lb version of this weight set for $110 and put it on my cart as I didn't see the other one. I went to order the 100lb one through the walmart.com site as it said there were 6 in stock. Gave me a confirmation then an hour later said it was canceled due to high demand. Hope some lucky folks actually got the 6 that were listed as available available.

I've now had it canceled twice at two different stores due to high demand.
Glad I went in store. Tried to order from 2 Walmart's for pickup and they cancelled my order due to "high demand". Walked in and found a pallet of 10 packs of these on the back wall. Definitely worth walking in store for a deal this good. Rang up $41 at checkout

Go to the store. Mine cancelled but there was a lot in stock
This is a confusing set. Yes, it is cheap per pound. But this is Walmart quality, plastic weights, and not. Olympic sizing. Also, I'm confused why any 18+ year old male would buy this. Any normal 18yr old-55yr old should be able to bench 100lbs.
You're irritating. This is a site for DEALS what's not clicking ??? This is the same price as a 20lb dumbbell since Covid
i'm irritating because i provided a response to something that you don't agree with ? lol. i'm glad i did that.
dumbells are dumbells. this isn't a dumbell is it. are you going to curl this with 1 arm?
I think the point was that the price for this barbell set is the same as what the 20lb dumbell set was going for, and not that they would be using it as a dumbell. At least I hope that was the point because that would be an awkward dumbell at 5ft.

So why would u compare?
Also, the price for the shitty dumbells (this same brand) was $18.xx for 40lbs, but that included 2 separate lick collars, 2 smaller bars, who h could increase manufacturing. Also higher demand for dumbells than this shittty ass weird 100lb bar. Who benches 100lbs max. Who Ben he's under 100lbs? Is this for pre-mature teens or the 65+ community? Genuine question. I'm severely fat, I weigh 160lbs,eat pizza everyday, 5'5,play video games and on SD everyday. And I can bench 100lbs ez.

There are many workouts with a barbell, it doesn't have to be all about benching my dude. It's a great entry level barbell, I don't know why you're comparing it to an Olympic quality barbell. If someone's serious about benching, they should go to the gym or invest in a metal barbell with plates. Either way, it's a solid deal.

FTR, I don't like these either and the set would be very limited IMO, but I'm sure they will work for other people.
