“I love the bar! I am a raving fan. I sent a complete review to Amanda. Please check with her. Customer service was excellent, website and website pictures and e commerce gateway was clunky and not up to common standards and not reflective of my interaction with staff. Reaction with staff was awesome and I love the bar.”

“First i had done a lot of research before purchasing my first set of bumper plates i ended up on Vulcan brand coz i read good reviews in the internet about it. They came like after a month coz they were out of stock of the 45 lbs. i was really amazed how great this bumper plates are, they were really well built with smooth finish. The odor of the rubber wasnt bad at all and i know it will gone after few day/weeks. They were free shipping through fedex freight and the guy who delivered it has able to unload it for me and brought it infront of our house. All in all i am happy with my purchased it just taken so long to be delivered.”

“This is my second Elite and the Event bar was in perfect shape. I basically received a brand new Elite with a $75 discount. The Elite is an incredible bar.”

“it may be because of the are are i live in (houston, TX) but my bar within the first week my bar started to rust. Not sure if this is a normal thing but its definitely something to consider. Aside from the rust, i love this bar. one of my favorite features is the 28mm diameter of this bar. the knurling is more aggresive than ive been used to and i really like that. i havent tested the whip on this thing because i havent really loaded it with maximal weights. overall i think i made the right choice. maybe vulcan can address my rust issues and why on the first week it was already rusting. i use this for strictly oly lifts and there is little to no sweat involved.”

Hi Jose, Thank you for your review. No coating is 100% rust proof unfortunately. In order for a bar to rust there must be moisture or humidity to facilitate the rust. Coatings are sacrificial in nature, meaning they rust to protect the steel underneath from rust. If there is rust, the environment is supporting it. If you are training in a garage which is not climate controlled there may be a great deal of moisture present. In the Houston area most recently there has been severe flooding, which definitely could increase the overall level of humidity. Please view the Barbell care instructions listed on the product page and here in this link: http://www.vulcanstrength.com/kb_results.asp?ID=2

“Very competitively priced, very well made. Really like the handle and the fact they stay the same size regardless of weight. They take chalk well too! Will be buying another 20k set soon.”

“Great quality and construction. The measurements are what they are supposed to be. Most specifically, the collar opening, which unlike other brands, is accurate thanks to the insert not being stamped in and taking away millimeters. I look forward to future orders from Vulcan.”

“Bought a bar for my wife and I for our garage gym. Bar is perfect, good balance, good spin, works well. Haven't had it long enough to see the durability, but I suspect it will be fine.”

“This bar is amazing. The knurling is deadly - in a good way! You'll lose your fingers before you lose the weight. It has just enough spin to keep the weight where it's supposed to be. There's no whip at all and the bar flexes only a tiny amount if the sleeve is full. Not to mention, it looks fantastic. I have several bars from several manufacturers and this is easily my favorite. Great job!”

“I purchased a 230 lb bumper plates set and the Vulcan One bar. Everything shipped Fed Ex and only took five days from placing the order to receiving the shipment. The bumper plates are great quality (low bounce and noise when dropped on rubber mats). The bar is very nice as well. The knurling has that perfect balance of providing solid grip, but without destroying your hands and shins. The spin on the bar is also very nice for cleans and snatches. I will definitely be purchasing more plates in the future.”

“I purchased the 13MM Vulcan Power Lifting Belt last year and was thoroughly satisfied with the quality, value and delivery. So, when it was time to purchase additional bumpers, I came back to Vulcan and bought the 260 Lb black set. Once again, I am thoroughly satisfied with my order and delivery, I like the almost dead bounce when dropped. Thank you all at Vulcan for your service and keep those quality products coming.”

“Researched alot of sets as a gift for my sons home gym and decided to purchase from Vulcan. He said that he liked Rogue and that would be what he would buy. After receiving the bumper plate set he said that he was surprised at the quality and design of the Vulcan plates and said he really liked them a lot.”

“I researched a number of bars before buying this one and the deciding factors for me, over the other bars at this price point, were finish and bushings. I dont need a needle bearing bar so those were not on the table for this purchase. I wanted a hard chrome finish with no black zinc and great bushings. I got that The bar arrived well packed. really well packed-it was tough getting into the package. The feel of the bar is excellent. the knurling is perfect for my all around use-not too much; not too little. I love the bar and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an all-around bar. The bar makes me want to lift more and that is a good quality to have.”

“Awesome customer service -Amanda was great she answered all my question. I ordered the Vulcan Strength bumper plates (set with bar ) and I used them once so far and I can tell these will last for a long time. Customer Service 10/10 Product quality 10/10 Price 10/10 Overall experience (with Vulcan) 10/10 Only problems I had was with the shipping company (not part of Vulcan). They did not deliver my product on the day stated in the shipping info they provided. I had made arrangements for someone to be there to receive the shipment. I called them and they told me the shipment would be delivered the next day. I had to work a half day to assure I would be at the property to receive the shipment. The person I spoke to on the phone ask me I would be unloading the truck? I said yes I was. She then said if I would be able to carry off 305lbs in a pallet form of the truck since it would be an extra charge to use the lift gate!? I ask if I could just unwrap the pallet and unload it at which she said no! I felt like my shipment would being hold for ransom. Vulcan made me aware of the lift gate fee so I don’t blame them. To make a real long story short we agreed that they would charge me $25 to use the lift gate. When they went to u”
