“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.”

“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.”

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.

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.”

“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.”

“I did not receive the black OLY bar I ordered, it actually was a silver one instead. It seems to be/meet all other standards, but definitely not what I ordered. Definitely a good bar though”

“These collars make me feel secure when I'm lifting. I'm not worried about them snapping off or slipping at all. When you clamp them it takes a bit of effort so you can feel how snug they are. The material on the inside of the collar has nice grip to it.”

“I recently received excellent customer service on my order from Vulcan. There was a small mishap in packaging with my order and though it was on the weekend when I received my order, I sent an email and received a response in very short order. I was more than surprised to say the least. In a world where customer service has taken a backseat to profits, Vulcan went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and taken care of. I was very pleased to say the least. I will most certainly be doing business with them again and will tell others of my pleasant experience. Thanks again Vulcan until next time. Happy Trails from Texas.”

“I was looking for a quality but economical bar to use for training the Olympic lifts and this will more than suffice! Yes it is a "hybrid" bar which, to me, the idea of a hybrid women's bar is a bit silly. It's really just too small and light and the knurling isn't aggressive enough for powerlifting and why train with a 15k bar when, in competition, you're going to have to use the same 45lb/20k or sometimes even 50lb bar that the men use? So, at first, I balked at the idea of a hybrid bar but the price was right and I already had a 45lb bar for powerlifting and this bar fills a niche for me. So, if you're looking for an Olympic training bar or if you're not a competitor and you want to couple your Olympic lifts with a variety of high rep sorts of exercises for fitness where you're not putting hundreds of lbs of weight on the bar then I think this would be a good choice for you.”

“match well with my vulcan bumpers - the slide on and stay on in-place outside of the collars. And similarly to the bumpers they look really classy.”

“Title pretty much sums it up. The plates feel really well made. I like that the edges are totally flat - means they land solidly when dropped. They are also the best looking black bumpers on the market in my opinion.”
