If you're doing 20 reps of 400lbs, maybe this bar wasn't meant for you.

For $70 is probably safe to assume it's a bushing bar. I think Rogue bearing bars start in the $300-400 range.

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…!

80% off the people on here will never bench 225 or deadlift 315. This bar will work fine for them imo. Esp at 70 bucks. I respect your opinion but I feel this bar can work for lots of people on SD.

For my reference, what would've been a good price for something like this (assuming accurate specs) pre pandemic?
$70 for a barbell, even if its crappy, is a good price pre/post pandemic.

Anyone have experience with this brand? Looking for a landmine bar, was planning on waiting until the rep fitness basic bar came back in stock but this might be a better deal for my intended use.
The rep basic bar is the generic hex-nut type barbell. I highly doubt it'll make a difference if you're going to just be slamming it on landmines! Also, as I think we are all seeing, the secondary market is dropping dramatically, so I bet you can find a bent or beater bar locally for cheaper!

I'd be more concerned if a hex bolt were holding the sleeves on (which is most likely). Those tend to come loose in time and require frequent tightening. I know mine did.
Can you use locktite to remedy that?

Yep...use loctite. While you're at it, I'd likely grease the contact points between the sleeve and bar. I did for all my bars with bushings and helps with rotation and longevity.

All of these cheapo bars are made by the same manufacturing plant(s) and then branded with whatever you please for a couple bucks more. You can order them off Alibaba and have your own brand put on there if you wish.

First thing I did was unscrew it and Loctite it. Solid ever since!

Edit: sorry just realize I was beaten to this advice. So...ditto!

Yep, always blue for me. I don't want things to become impossible to ever loosen again Wink
