Big Jim Olympic Barbell 7ft, 20kg Bar, 28mm Bar Diameter, Lift Up to 320kg Weights Set

Quality bar and half the price of other makes

excellent quality, great price, fast delivery... what more can you ask for!

Perfect, it's robust, well made and the bar is nice and thin, which means a high grade of steel was used to prevent it from bending under the rated load. Bearings are also buttery smooth. Love it

Amazing quality for the price. Bearing and bushing normally only found on more expensive bars. Operation of sleeves are great - fits Olympic plates excellently and no torque on the wrists. Knurling is superb, smooth yet grippy and not sharp. Black oxide finish very durable even after having chalk on it for several days. It’s best to wipe the bar down after each use as sweat and chalk etc can have a negative effect on any bars finish but I forget sometimes and it’s none the worse for it. Delivery was fast and efficient. I had a slight niggle and contacted the seller who was prompt, polite, very professional and dealt with my issue swiftly and satisfactorily! Great barbell, doesn’t come with any spring collars, I had some so no issue, so if this is your first bar you’ll need some. I highly recommend this barbell.

Great feel and quality to the bar. My first own one as only ever used gym bars and this just beats them all hands down. Feels very secure to hold my weights and just great to work out with.

Mrs bought me this. Not a Gym rat so was nervous over quality.no need mind as very good bar. Decent grip. Looks nice. No issue with bumper plates.

I bought this barbell in addition to one I already use but fancied something different for a new home gym I have built.The knurling on the barbell is nice and well positioned as expected. The sleeves have spin in them and rotate smoothly, but not excessively so is perfect for me for use in general strength training. I am not doing massive olympic exercises, just the usual bench presses, deadlifts, overhead presses, that sort of thing, so the level of movement in the sleeves is just right.I think the colour scheme is excellent because the bar is black but the sleeves remain steel coloured. On other barbells, I have seen where the sleeves are also black, sometimes weight plates end up scratching or marking the sleeves making them look worn. I am a little OCD, so having nice clean sleeves with the black inner bar looks really cool. Also, a nice little touch of having the red and black interchangeable bands on the sleeve ends, which contains a few notes of specification of the bar, which I like.Also, importantly, customer service has been fantastic. I had an issue with delivery and also a slight issue with the bar (on my end, not the seller's fault) and these were sorted without hassle.I would thoroughly recommend this barbell. I have had BodyMax and Mirafit barbells in the past and this is just as good and, in my opinion, definitely looks cooler!

Having never bought a bar before very pleased with this one. The finish is superb, the bearings are silky smooth and for the price what you get is fantastic. Probably won't need to but would buy again without hesitation.
