Customers find the barbell has a nice build quality with reasonable spinlocks and a wide grip. They find it suitable for home gyms and consider it good value for money. The bar is long enough to use on squat racks and heavy enough to use on its own. Customers appreciate the grip, which is coarse but provides a good level of grip.
Customers appreciate the bar's quality. They find it sturdy and well-built, with a good grip and reasonable spinlocks. The knurling is well-formed and wide, allowing for multiple grips. Some say it can take the strain, while others mention it flexes after 120kg.

Customers like the grip. It's fairly coarse but provides a good grip, and the wide grip is comfortable. The texture in three places helps build forearm strength. The sturdy spinlocks and thickness of the grip help build up your forearms. The well-formed and wide grip allows for many grip positions. Overall, the feel is great.

Purchased from another seller, not amazon EU.This was originally bought to replace my current bar I use for deadlifts and squats but the knurling is just far too smooth, it's not much better than the actual smooth part of the barbell. I use a much cheaper barbell for deadlifts and that grip is 10x better and it's just as stiff. Maybe I just received a bad bar, It is good bar for any pressing movements because of the bar thickness though.. and the bar arrived with both spinlock sleeves bent, that's 50/50 if it was the courier or the factory.
My previous barbell was starting to curve as it couldn’t take the weight it was holding anymore. It was also smaller than I liked (5ft) so I needed to upgrade. I am not disappointed with this barbell at all, it’s perfect. It is so thick and solid, it feels as though it could take 200 kilos with no problems. The length is also perfect for me and I especially like the length of the weight baring parts as they’re long enough to add many weight plates. Couldn’t be happier.
I'm going to use it as an aid to stretching so no heavy lifting reviews. Will work out nicely. Sorry for all the puns but they are funnier than the free amazon jokes you get sent after completing 6 reviews.
ok so it been a week since i got this,first all, i use this for squats, excellent, feels confortable in hands and on neck.
second time to use it, was doing bench presses, just as good, feel good, nice size bar to grip and the grip pattern on the bar is great,,
third time was for dead lifts, excellent again, for some reason the weight felt not as heavy, using this bar, strange but true.
the bar is heavy at 10kg, and the spin locks are ok, but does the job very well.
so looking forward to using it more untill i out grow it with weight. so would recommend this bar to anyone who wants to have a longer bar, or who want to upgrade to a bar that can hold more weight up to 150kg.
It's a 10kg bar with standard 1" diameter ends meaning you can use standard 1" weights (or Olympic weights with an adapter). It's of fair quality but appears to be chromium plated (unless I'm mistaken), so that may chip with use, but at least it'll delay rusting. I guess the more expensive Olympic bars will be stainless steel.
The length is good and it has been textured for grip in three places: the two areas where you hold it when lifting and also in the centre which is handy for when you're moving the empty bar about.
Not used it with much weight yet so not sure how strong it is or how much it will flex but for the 20 GBP I paid I'm very happy.
The standard 5' bar was too narrow for me to safely use with squat stands so I went searching for a new one suitable for my standard York weights. غ had the best prices at the time and the choice was between a 6' bar and this 6'6" spin lock beefy bar.
I decided on the larger bar, as the distance between the inner collars was greatest. I chose my squat stands, Bodymax CF310, as they had adjustable height and adjustable spotter catchers and this meant that with a longer bar I would be able to use the set-up to self-spot for bench, incline and shoulder press when used with my basic York bench.
The bar arrived very quickly even though I chose super saver, and it was very well packaged. At the time the Royal Mail was still having problems, but غ had used a different service.
The distance between the collars is 4' and there is 15" for weights either side. (5' bar: 3'1" between collars and 11" either side.) I think the beefy refers to it being a slightly wider grip bar which is good, but I've found the highs of the threaded ends are actually a little lower than the standard bar by a mm or two. I think this is a manufacturing issue (bad batch perhaps) or it's part of the accepted tolerance as the spin lock collars work fine. For me it's slightly annoying as I use 1" spring clips to secure the weights when doing non maximal lifts. Normally these grip the thread very well, but this bar having a slightly narrower thread, I have to angle the spring clip so it rides across one more turn before it gets a good grip. Only takes 3 seconds but it shouldn't be that way. If you choose the non-threaded bar it may not have this petty problem but it wouldn't have spin locks either.
The chrome plating isn't the best I've seen on York products but the knurling is well formed and wide allowing for many grip positions. Overall weight is about 10kg. The bar can safely handle 120kg.
A very good bar, but it just misses the top rating. Consider it, or the non-threaded version, if you need an upgrade from the 5' bar.
