🧱 Key Features & Benefits

✔ Solid Steel Construction
Constructed from chromed solid steel, this barbell is built to withstand regular use for arm and upper-body exercises.

✔ Threaded Ends + Star-Lock Collars Included
Threaded ends ensure plates stay securely in place during lifts, and the included star collars let you load weights confidently.

✔ Comfortable Grip
The knurled hand grips provide a non-slip feel, giving you better control during curls and other movements.

At roughly 47 inches long and around 11–12 lbs, this bar is perfect for home gyms, garages, apartments, and small workout areas.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What diameter weight plates does this bar take?
A: It uses standard 1-inch diameter plates, which are widely available and typically more affordable than Olympic plates.

Q: Can I use it for bench presses or squats?
A: You can use it for light presses or squats with lighter plates, but it’s best suited for upper-body accessory work due to its shape and length.

Q: What’s the weight capacity?
