Use your own judgement if a cheap bar like this will benefit you.

Will you be just benching with this bar? THen it'll be ok. Dropping it, probably will bend, but nothing catastrophic will happen like snapping in half or something.

Low quality but it'll get the job done for MOST.

ordered one already. We'll see how it is, said it will be in next week.
We have two the regular black Cap Olympic bars, that are rated for 500lbs, beat up it up to hell over the pandemic. I'd imagine this bar would be an upgrade to that.

At $75 shipped in Texas. I'd figure it can't be any worst than the regular Cap Olympic Bar (OB-85 I think, the one included in bundles from Academy or Walmart). Can't ever have too many bars in a home gym right?

It's fine for home use. Only issue with chrome plating these bars is it will eventually flake off. But you can still use it fine.

How do you know?
If a barbell has bolts at the ends of the sleeves is a quick way to tell cheap from quality bars.

I'd take the CAP OB-85 over the PRCTZ bar any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I have the CAP OB-86B however.

So for the average person just looking for a garage workout would this be fine?


**
After looking I now see it's a 2" bar so any plates and weights I have laying around wont fit and I'd have to buy all new.

I've had a Max barbell 7' bar in my home gym for almost 15 years and it's still fine (not the same, but similarly cheap). It has bolts on the ends that I had to loctite to prevent loosening, and the collars don't rotate very smoothly, so it's not the best for Oly lifting.

But still, it's never let me down on my workouts with deadlifts up to around 400#, and multiple workouts per week in the 200-300# range. Never dropped except once or twice when I had to bail, so if you're looking to make a lot of noise, pay more and get more. There's no reason to shy away from a cheap bar unless you're pushing into elite levels where it really makes a difference. It's not like "Brogue" gives you a free t-shirt for buying their bars.

Honestly at this price, grab a couple so you're not stuck with one bar if you want to do a complex or circuit. In for one!

2" is the standard size though.
