Review: 60" black bar is a good bar if you have realistic expectations - My husband and I have had a wide variety from low to mid-range fitness and strength products over the years, so when he wanted a lower-priced Oly barbell, we thought of Cap as our experiences have overall been good with them for over 25 years. We have found that sometimes their chromed equipment has sharp edges or flakes, so we went with the 60in, Solid Bar, Black. My husband is lifting 300 pounds max - usually less - and I'm lifting 100 or under, so this bar seemed good. And it is just what we wanted. It's lighter than an official bar but heavier than a 1-inch standard bar, the black finish is attractive with no flaking or sharp edges at all. The knurling is comfortable and grippy. The sleeves don't stick, and while I don't think they have bearings or bushings, for this price, we weren't expecting any. The black finish is coming off of the sleeves in a couple small places, but for the price, we expected that. We're using it almost daily, with and without a small rack, and are completely satisfied. This is a budget-priced all-solid bar, so we didn't expect an Ohio Power Bar or something like that. We bought this bar as it will work for our needs and costs around 1/4 of the price of a value bar and about 1/8th of a price or less of a high end bar, but we don't need a high end bar. And to bring a solid bar in at this price range, there are going to be compromises, but we knew that going in. Overall if you don't want to spend too much money but don't want a hollow barbell, this is a solid option. We're getting a lot of use out of it, and plan to keep using it for years to come. Review: Great value, solid for three years - I've been using this bar 3-4 times a week for three years now. It is holding up well -- some of the paint / finish has started flaking off, but I don't mind as it hasn't affected my use at all. 5 foot bar can easily fit enough weight for my needs -- I use it in my tiny basement home gym. Excellent value, would recommend. ## Features - 25 LB OLYMPIC WEIGHT BAR FOR STRENGTH TRAINING – This 5-foot Olympic barbell features a 500 LB capacity and this compact Olympic weight bar is ideal for beginner lifters, youth athletes, and home gyms with limited space.

It is holding up well -- some of the paint / finish has started flaking off, but I don't mind as it hasn't affected my use at all. 5 foot bar can easily fit enough weight for my needs -- I use it in my tiny basement home gym. Excellent value, would recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for my needs *by T***H on December 12, 2025* This 5ft barbell is perfect for my bedroom β€œgym”. It slides under my bed and fits perfectly with some weights stored next to it. This bar is NOT meant for a bench system. The shaft is just too narrow. The middle shaft is 32.5”. The full bar length is 60”. This is perfect for at home workouts but not anything requiring a rack/ bench. It’s a compact bar, not a rackable bar. Regardless, it fits my needs perfectly. I can do squats, presses, thrusts, so much more with it. It’s a huge upgrade from my kettlebell. It’s sturdy, the grip is perfect, and it came with no scratches or anything. It is 2” thick on the ends for Olympic plates. Overall I would recommend it if looking for a compact bar, not a rackable bar. ## Frequently Bought Together - CAP Barbell 2-Inch Olympic Barbell Bars | 5 ft, 6 ft, & 7 ft | Multiple Options - Clout Fitness Olympic Barbell Clamps Collars Quick Release Pair of Locking Weight Clips Fit 2 Inch Barbell for Weightlifting --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/465020823-olympic-barbell-5ft-6ft-and-7ft-strength-training-weight-bars](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/465020823-olympic-barbell-5ft-6ft-and-7ft-strength-training-weight-bars) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
