Cap Barbell 85in Straight Olympic Bar

This remarkable bar stands as a testament to durable construction and thoughtful design. Crafted from solid cold-rolled steel and finished with a resilient chrome plating, this bar offers long-lasting performance, resisting wear and tear from frequent usage. The chrome finish not only protects the steel, but also adds a sleek, professional look to your workout space. We understand some customers voiced concerns regarding potential flaking or sharp edges on previous products. Therefore, we have implemented rigorous quality control measures to ensure consistent quality and a smooth, safe finish on each bar.

This exceptional bar is designed for versatile training. It seamlessly integrates into various workout routines, whether you’re focusing on powerlifting fundamentals like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, practicing dynamic Olympic lifts such as snatches and clean and jerks, or performing general conditioning exercises. This bar empowers you to target specific muscle groups or engage in full-body workouts, allowing you to tailor your training to your fitness goals.

Grip is paramount during weightlifting, and this bar excels in providing a secure and comfortable hold. The medium-depth knurling, a textured pattern etched into the bar’s shaft, offers excellent grip without being overly abrasive on your hands. This knurling pattern includes a center knurl, a section of knurling in the middle of the bar, which further enhances grip during certain lifts and helps maintain proper positioning. This thoughtful design element ensures confidence and control during each repetition.  

Smooth rotation of the sleeves, the ends of the bar where weight plates are loaded, is crucial for reducing stress on the forearms and wrists, especially during dynamic lifts. This bar features rotating sleeves equipped with quality bushings. These bushings facilitate smooth, consistent rotation, minimizing friction and preventing undue strain during your workouts. This feature contributes to safer and more efficient lifting.  

This product delivers exceptional value, providing professional-grade features at a price more accessible than high-end competition bars. We acknowledge this bar is not intended for competitive lifters pushing the limits of human strength. Instead, it is designed to meet the needs of dedicated individuals building strength and fitness in their home gyms. This design provides a great option for those seeking quality without extreme investment.
