How can they put Olympic in the title and say it's for Olympic weights when it's a 1" bar? "Olympic" is 50mm/2inch, it's the designation that differentiates it from standard plates and bars at 25mm/1".
This is a budget 1 inch straight weightlifting bar that fits standard plates and is best for light to moderate home lifting. The 300 pound capacity is described as plenty for warmups and everyday use, and the bar has been loaded to 190 pounds without noticeable bowing. The 5 foot and 6 foot versions are listed at $4.99 with free shipping on Walmart plus or orders over $35. Caveats include a misleading Olympic label, possible order mix ups, and clip compatibility issues with some 1 inch collars. A cheap basic bar if you need standard sizing.
Home lifters using standard 1-inch plates, because the bar is a 1-inch diameter standard bar with a 300-pound capacity that suits warmups and moderate loads.
The listed capacity is 300 lb, which is enough for most home lifters and warmups. The Walmart max-load field appears to be a listing error, not the bar's real capacity.
These are standard 1" diameter bars, not Olympic 2" bars. Olympic bars use 50mm/2" sleeves and wider-hole plates, while these fit standard 1" plates and accessories.
Not always. One report says Marcy 1" clips did not fit these bars, so compatibility with existing standard collars can be an issue and may require different clips.
A 5' bar reportedly weighs about 19 lb and held 190 lb without noticeable bowing. The bar is thinner than a CAP bar, so it can feel harsher on the skin under load.
A 1" bar can work for a Total Gym that uses a 1" bar, but the 5' length is much longer than the 2' bar sold for that machine. Cutting it down is possible in theory, but you would still need clips.

Yes, clearly Walmart is just listing the item weight under max load, it's an error. You can look it up on their site or Amazon to see the actual spec. That said, no weight lifting bar will have a max load of 14lbs.
