" ... sturdy olympic bar. ... It is textured and grips just right. ... "
" ... Packaging - This was packaged really well and came in a long cylindrical cardboard box with a lot of tape on the ends. ... "
" ... It weighs exactly 45 pounds, the ends spin freely and it arrived in pretty good shape. ... "
" ... I haven't bought any plates yet to be fair but it's sturdy and can't beat the free shipping! ... "
" ... Very sturdy and very well bulit. ... "
" ... Working great, but I don't put much more than 260 on it, holding up well and no bending at that weight from what I can tell. ... "
" ... The black coating feels better to my hands and doesn't slip or mess with my clothes or shoes. ... "
" ... I would not point blame at Body-Solid whatsoever, I'm just saying don't expect that cardboard tube to make it across state lines unblemished. ... "

" ... I am not sure what function this serves but it makes me question the quality, also this bar was covered in grease. ... "
" ... I started cleaning the bar with WD-40 and a rag which shows the amount of rust after just getting started. ... "
" ... I wiped mine down with soapy water and a rag to dry it in order to get some of the petroleum oil off. ... Messy to open but still, can't beat a solid hunk of metal for some squizzzots! ... "
" ... It was a pain to clean off especially with all the rust. ... I think ill have to use a rust cleaner to clear all of the rust unless I want rust all over my hands every workout. ... "
" ... Also, when I received my second bar, the bar was dirty. ... "
