Olympic Barbell OB 86

There are lots of economy bars out there, I bought one such bar that came highly recommended. It rattled and even after taking it apart and resetting the internal rings, it had play in it. To top it off, the internal rings kept popping out. The company sent me a replacement and it did exactly the same thing. Turns out for the same amount of money I bought the IM barbell. It's a sleeper product, way better than any of the bars in its price range. This bar needs to be talked about way more, and reviewed way more. It's a top pick in my book and should be in yours too.

The quality and tight tolerances of this bar far exceed any other bar in this price category. The sleeves are ultra durable, the shaft coating has held up great with no damage from my jcups, and the shipping was done very well and secure. Seriously, don’t sleep on this bar, Ironmaster sells high quality products and this is no different. My bar was a gift from my girlfriend and she knocked it out of the park!

OMG! So happy I went with this barbell! I originally purchased a Rogue Ohio bar but sold it to get this bar and I am so happy with my choice/purchase. It is well balanced, has decent knurling and plates slide on and off with ease. The only gripe is I wish the finger markings were more pronounced but not a big deal as I still find them without too much trouble.
