An excellent barbell!! Delivered in durable packaging within a day or two of me actually ordering it. I bought this bar to help with home training, it is extremely durable as described. It weighs almost exactly 20Kg. There are 2 knurled areas helping to find the perfect grip when deadlifting, bench-pressing and squatting etc. This makes an excellent training bar for home use and I would recommend it highly especially because it is competitively priced!!
