“I've was using a cap "the beast" barbell for everything (bench, squat, deadlift, oh press, etc) and this is leaps and bounds better. I'm a big fan of the knurling and, for me, it feels great for deadlifting, bench, and oh press. I haven't used it for squat, because of poor mobility, so can't say how it would fare. I think as long as you are wearing it shirt it should be fine. The center knurling probably wouldn't feel great without one. I don't feel that the bar has a lot of wipe/bend, which is what I wanted.”
“The knurling is pretty good! I love the that the bar isn’t too thick for my small hands and allows for a great grip. I don’t see a downside to this bar and I highly recommend it for the cost compared to rogues bar.”
“Solid powerlifting bar. Rough knurl, nice middle knurl to hold on your traps in back squatting. Has subtle give when coming out the hole for perfect momentum. Highly recommend.”
