Lifeline Fitness Heat-Treated Steel Olympic Bar with Spring Collars - 45lb. Bar - Holds up to 1000lbs for Home Gym - Olympic Barbell For Strength Training

There seems to be a lot of bad reviews just because the clamps did not fit. Unfortunate since the bar itself is very sturdy and of good quality. I’m guessing they also updated the clamps because mine fit perfectly fine. Very happy with my purchase.

Bar Is great!! Used it for about a week for powerlifting. Only complaint is the clamps are to tight to fit on the bar.

I had pretty low expectations purchasing this product, due to not being familiar with the company and the lack of reviews, overall. I've been lifting for about 7 years and have used a plethora of different barbells. This is easily one of the highest quality barbells I have used. It is extremely strong, but not too firm, has a healthy flex for a deadlift. The knurling is aggressive, without being too much and the circumfrence of the bar itself is ideal for someone with average sized palms, like myself. With the recent increase in fitness product prices, I was afraid I massively overpaid. However, the quality of this product proves otherwise. It is better than 99% of bars I have used across over 15 different gyms that I have worked out at. Also, the included clips fit fine for me.

The bar isn’t bad but it’s only 40lbs rather than the stated 45lbs. This makes me not trust any of the other specs so I don’t know how much to trust. If it was either 45lbs or advertised with the proper specs displayed, it would be a good product. Edit: After reading my initial review several weeks later, I realize how salty I sounded. That said, I stand by everything I said. I wanted to update the review to address the million dollar question of the clamps and whether they fit; mine fit perfectly.

As advertised. Nothing to complain about. Knurls are good. Bearings seem smooth. Looks and feels like a high quality product. Worth the price.

Barbell....works like a barbell/ My complaint, the spring collars DO NOT FIT. Had to order separate collars and wait a few days to do some exercises. Clearly their quality control department is non-existent..........Seriously, the collars come taped to the bar and when fully compressed with pliers still wont clear the end of the bar. I should be sent proper collars instead of having to go after market.....Apparently quality control doesn't exist at this company with an oversight like that.

The weight clips do not fit the bar. How do I get a replacement without returning the bar itself?

Very solid bar, as described! Collars fit perfectly...
