I ordered the 1st version when they were selling them cheap to move inventory and have been more than pleased with them. They fit snug on my bar and don't even really need collars so making quick changes is effortless. Plan on buying a full set of change plates next so I can hit PRs more frequently.

Very pleased to have a standard 28mm bar in my collection. Makes oly lifts so much cleaner with the needle bearings and the ability to hook grip with ease. Haven't tried a better bar at this price point. Definitely recommend to those who practice oly lifts and wish to improve upon them.

I compared these handles to a lot of other manufacturers' handles before ordering them. The best feature is that they use normal Olympic size collars. This eliminates the need to buy pairs of axle collars to hold the weights on. This also saves a bunch of money! Rogue or OSO axle collars run about $40-50 per pair! The knurling is fairly aggressive, but it's useful for those workouts when your hands are covered in sweat. I've done multiple long (400m) farmer carries in the heat and humidity and I have not torn up my hands yet. The handles can also be used for some axle type workouts like deadlifts and OH lunges (just don't hit yourself in the face with the handle!).

Just got these yesterday and spent the evening having a blast with them. Fit and finish: Better than any pair of handles I've seen (rogue included, their handles went ratty really quick). Very thick and heavy duty powder coat, these suckers will last me a long time. Best Feature: REGULAR CLIPS! In a pinch you can use traditional spring clips and they'll hold on ok, but a pair of OSO's or Lock Jaw's and the plates are locked on solid. Least Favorite Feature: Knurling. It's above every bar I've used except for weightlifting bars (DHS, Werksan and Eleiko are the three I have experience with). On top of the heavy knurling there are two "spikes" that I have to figure out a way to knock down. I worked around them by making sure I used the bar in a specific hand, but I need to address it. I really wish it was more mild like an Ohio bar or Bomba. Summary: This is an awesome pair of handles that will survive anything you throw at them and would work great in an affiliate (take some sandpaper to that knurling though). No regrets about this purchase and will definitely get these again if I need another pair down the road.

Very high quality barbells! We are an olympic lifting and strength & conditioning facility and love the bars and bumper plates. The Farmer Carry handles are wonderful and we really like that the handles have knurling which makes the grip a breeze and regular metal collar fit on the FC bars unlike the Rogue handles.

This is second Vulcan standard olympic bushing barbell I purchased for my garage gym. The customer service is great and delivery was fast. I recommend this barbell.

Purchases the "scratched" version due to the amazing price, being an owner of the bar already I knew it was a great deal. When I received the bar I was shocked to see the condition of it in a good way. This bar looked just like the full price version I had. There was one small cosmetic scratch about 2" long on the coating between the center knerl and outer and that was it. Bar could have easily passed as non-blemished. Super happy I purchased it. If anyone is questioning buying this bar, don't!!! Buy it, the rotation is like butter for a bushing bar and the best I have ever felt, whip is great and knerling is grippy but not sharp. I keep my bar at my gym and it is the bar everyone ask to use. Great product, great construction, and great company. Thanks Vulcan

I scoured the web looking for great, color bumpers in kilos (everybody has them in lbs) and found these. My customer service experience was excellent and I received them the day after I ordered them. The plates themselves have good color, the markings are crisp and were defect free. The have a dead bounce and the steel centers are quality. There's no flash around the centers and fit really well on my bar and the weights are accurate. I continue to be impressed with the quality of the products and service of Vulcan.

Received V3.0 Elite Bar and it had noticeable movement between bar and sleeve on one side more than the other side. Loaded with 50# bumper plates and dropped it made a very distinct noise that something wasn't right. But I contacted Vulcan Strength Support Dept. "Amanda" sent me a replacement bar with no hassle, in a few days I received a replacement that is 100%.. Quality Product + Quality Service.. I look forward to a lifetime of training with it..The V3.0 Elite is a VERY Good Bushing Training Barbell.. I love it! Thank You Vulcan Strength. 50 year old Crossfitter from N.J.

Great bar with a nice whip. Definitely worth buying and having in your garage or box. Tremendous amount of spin as well.

Beyond trying to add to my routine and make myself better, I wanted to purchase some weights that not everybody else had and obviously didn't break the bank. These bumpers definitely achieved both.

Purchased the 260 lb set, and am not disappointed. They shipped quickly (and free!), and have held up well. They do give off a rubber odor at the beginning, but that seems to come with the territory. A few washes later and the smell has seemed to taper off. All in all, I'm happy with the purchase.

These plates are awesome. The unique look with the green dots mixed in is awesome. And the durability and medium to low bounce of these plates is great. They are sturdy and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
