Description

🏋️‍♂️ CAP Barbell The Beast Olympic Barbell (7 ft, 44 lb)

This is a solid Olympic‑style barbell designed for weightlifting, powerlifting, and general strength training in home and garage gyms. Built on a professional‑grade foundation with strong materials and standard dimensions, this bar is a versatile choice for a wide range of compound lifts.

🔑 Key Features

📏 Standard Olympic Specs

• Length: ~7 ft (≈2185 mm) — fits most racks, cages, and benches.

• Weight: ~44 lb (~20 kg) — standard men’s Olympic bar weight.

• Sleeve Diameter: 2″ Olympic standard — accepts all Olympic weight plates.

• Shaft Diameter: ~28.5 mm — a comfortable grip size for most lifters.

• Loadable Sleeve Length: ~15 in — plenty of space for plates on each side.

🛠 Heavy‑Duty Construction

• Built from cold‑rolled alloy steel with high tensile strength (~110,000 PSI).

• Medium‑depth diamond knurling ensures a secure grip during heavy lifts.

• Bushing rotation system allows smooth sleeve spin to reduce wrist/elbow stress.

• Black oxide or black phosphate finished shaft with polished chrome sleeves for corrosion resistance.

• No center knurling — preferred by some Olympic lifters for comfort in clean/snatch positions.

🏋️‍♀️ What It’s Best For

This barbell is ideal for a full spectrum of strength and performance training:

✔ Squats — back and front variations
✔ Deadlifts & Romanian deadlifts
✔ Bench presses — flat/incline/decline
✔ Overhead presses
✔ Rows and accessory lifts
✔ Olympic lifts (snatches, clean & jerk) — practice and moderate loads

Because the bar accepts standard 2″ Olympic plates, you can pair it with iron plates, bumper plates, or training plates to suit your workout and progression.

📦 What’s Included & Needed

⭐ Pros & Cons

✔ Pros
• Solid construction & grip: Cold‑rolled steel with medium knurling feels dependable for compound lifts.
• Smooth sleeve rotation: Bushing sleeves help reduce strain on wrists and help plates load/unload easily.
• Versatile training bar: Works for strength and Olympic lifts, conditioning circuits, and functional routines.
• Standard 2″ sleeves ensure compatibility with over 99% of Olympic plates.

⚠ Cons
• No center knurl: Some powerlifters prefer center knurling for back squats; this version omits it.
• Not a competition‑grade bar: At this price point, it’s great for training but may not match the refined spin or whip of elite barbells.
• Plates & collars not included — additional costs required for a full setup.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this bar suitable for heavy lifts?
A: Yes — with strong construction and durable steel, it’s built to handle everyday strength work. Though official max load varies by source (~1000 lb+ claimed by some sellers), always stay within your comfort zone.

Q: Does it fit all Olympic plates?
A: Yes — the sleeves are standard 2″ Olympic size, so any Olympic plates you own should fit.

Q: What does “no center knurl” mean?
A: It means the knurled texture doesn’t extend to the bar’s center, which some lifters prefer for Olympic lifts (snatches/cleans) to prevent chest discomfort; but it may offer less grip for back squats.

Q: Does it come with collars?
A: Typically no — collars and plates are usually sold separately.
