Why would a company name themselves after a sound made during a seizure

This is how you know the pandemic is over.

seems like a very fair price, center knurling is a plus to me. 7ft is going to be a lot more compatible with racks and probably be easier to sell in the future.

Why would women need shorter barbells? (coming from a short dude)

EDIT: Thank you everyone, makes complete sense.

Not so much a need, but I've heard multiple comments over the years from women who prefer bars that are smaller in diameter (25mm) and shorter in length. It can help make certain lifts feel more stable.

Granted, it's not really a man vs woman thing, and more of a hand size/height thing.

I can guarantee this bar is the cheapest possible bar. If you drop anything over 200lbs, it WILL bend and warp the sleeves. If you have nothing and need to start somewhere, this is a good option. Otherwise, "you get what you pay for" still applies.
