Besides that bearing bars are way overrated. People only started caring about bars once Rogue started selling all kinds of fancy pants bars.
I have both types and use my cheap bushing bar 90% of the time because I like the knurl and diameter better. Honestly couldn't care less about the spin or whatever bearings get me
Edit. More like $600 range for a Rogue bearing bar…!

Ditto this. Bearings are great if you're working towards elite Oly lifting, but I've been perfectly happy with my generic bushing bar for (light) powerlifting and general fitness for 15+ years. Expensive bars are often overrated, I've tried blind tests with about 5-6 different bars and a lot comes down to good knurling and your personal preference.

Of course, there 100% is something to be said that type-specific bars are worth their weight in gold if a lifter actually needs it. A few examples:
- 28.5mm bushing/bearing hybrid for crossfitters (no center knurl)
- 29mm for powerlifters
- 27mm for deadlifters
- 28mm bearing bars for oly folks, etc.
But of course, If anyone needs this type of barbell, I don't think they're looking at sub-$100 generic bars haha
