“I purchased a B-side Vulcan 20 Kg V3.0 Elite 28mm Olympic Barbell because I wanted everything the barbell offered and I was fine with cosmetic "blemishes," because I'm here to lift heavy weights. Mine had a minor scratch on the end of one of the collars, and that's it, so this was a fantastic buy. The barbell is otherwise flawless and fully functional. It is my first home-gym barbell and it's still better than any I've used in my black iron gym. Fantastic buy!”

“Either the employees are drinking on the job, or they have a quality control inspector with some serious OCD, because the “b” side/clearance barbell I received is perfect in every way. If it really is a “b” side/clearance (my lifting partners and I all agree that it must be a first quality barbell sent by mistake) then Vulcan Strength Training Systems “seconds” are better than most top quality barbell from other companies. I am extremely happy. Thanks. That said, DO NOT buy a “b” side/clearance barbell… if you do, they may sell out, and there will be less of a chance for me to get another.”

“B side Absolute barbell delivered quickly, package damaged but this stainless steel barbell was still pristine. Not a scratch on it, sweet blue endcaps. Discounted due to imperfect knurling but still felt amazing for snatch doubles and C&J singles--grippy and aggressive compared to multipurpose bars but not painful. It turns over like a dream, best bar I've ever handled in that regard. Works unbelievably well for me and the discounted price is more than fair due to it working amazingly well. I am a big fan of Vulcan; great customer service and high quality products. Their bars, Alpha bumpers and kettlebells are the backbone of my home gym and I am happy to support them.”

“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”

“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.”

“Overall, the kettlebell is not competitive with Rogue or Dragondoor. The main difference is in the handle. When the kettlebell is in overhead position or racked position it sits too low on the forearm and weakens the wrist. The KB is perfect for swings, DL and/or Windmills.”
