LEEWAY OSTIN Olympic Barbell Bar 7.2 feet| Weight Bar 2200mm, 20kg Gym Bar for Heavy Weight Lifting Training Gym Fitness Workout| Weightlifting, Powerlifting, CrossFit| Gym Home Exercises rod Bar 28mm, Red & Black

This Leeway Ostin olympic barbell 7.2 ft is accurate in dimensions and has very good finish.

We can’t find better Deadlift at this price. Quality of paint(power coating) is good.It is better to purchase this rod . I am using this in my commercial gym set up.

The media could not be loaded.  Since second lockdown I was looking for a good barbell for home gym. But unfortunately any good barbell comes around about 18-20k rupees. Too expensive for home gym! I am not a heavy lifter and focus on hypertrophy so I wanted an economic barbell which can do the job and at the same time it should be safe. Came across Leeway's Austin 2.0 barbell for 9.5k only. This was a good price as per the flagship barbells in the market. I used it couple of days and it seems out this barbell is promising. I like this barbell but has some cons too. I will list pros and cons below.**Pros**:1. Look and feel premium quality2. Loves the black oxide coating. It doesn't protect from rust but definitely gives a good feel to hold the bar. Knurl feels natural unlike when it is coated with hard chrome (which is better to protect from rust)3. Grooved sleeves are big yess!4. Moderate sleeves spin which I like for hypertrophy5. Knurling is super good. It is standard 1.2 mm volcanic knurl which gives you a perfect grip to hold the barbell for heavy weights. Knurling is neither too light nor too aggressive6. Whip is moderate7. 28 mm shaft diameter is what I was looking for.8. Center knurl!Not a pros for the bar but have to mention that packaging was good.Cons:1. Bar seemed to be a bit longer (1.5 cm) than the actual length claimed (attached a picture).2. There is no mention of PSI value for the rod. It would be great if manufacturer provide PSI value. Though weight capacity is mentioned.Final verdict:This bar is super good for hypertrophy and home gym. As claimed it can hold upto 220 kg and it is a lot unless you are a heavy weightlifter/powerlifter. No bar is available in this price range with this quality. This bar is better than those bars you see in your local gym.But, if you are a serious heavy weightlifter/powerlifter and you do 300kg or 400 kg deadlift or squats then this bar is definitely not for you. I would recommend to got for better bar with PSI value between 190K-220K.Last but not least, this bar is made in India and this is an Indian company :D

The media could not be loaded.  The barbell just bended with just 30kgs of weight not at all durable, not at all worth for the money, even cheap barbells in the market will withstand a lot of weight.I will not suggest this company at all they make you pay more money for more cheaper quality barbells than those in the market and if you raise the complaint they will simply say it will not cover under warranty and just decline the replacement and they will say it was a misbehaviour drop but in actual even the cheaper barbells in the market will withstand a lot of weight and greater drops than these barbells with this type of quality you cant even do deadlifts and fail your repetitions.

The quality of Leeway products is really poor. Better Go for Bullrock

Its Just Perfect Barbell Under 10k. The only con i would highlight is the packaging. Please improve it.

It's a solid olympic bar. True to size and dimension. The bearings are also of good quality and the play is optimum. At this price point, it's an excellent purchase. I use it regularly for all compound exercises. Holding well till now. Highly recommended.

This bar is all I could ever ask for. The color is perfect. The grip thickness is perfect and isn't too rough on my calluses. The plates loading region is big enough. The barbell itself is very sturdy.
