Goplus 400Lbs Olympic EZ Curl Bar for Strength Training, 47’’ Solid Steel Barbell Weight Lifting Bar, Home Gym Equipment with Copper Sleeve and Bearing Connection

The curl bar paint job is scratched up. Upon opening the package it smelled like a spray can paint. It literally looked like someone sprayed a thin layer of flat black paint over metal. Besides this, the grip is very nice. I bought this product because the sleeves has bearing/bushings to eliminate the squeaking sound of metal rubbing against metal.

A very good bar especially for the price; I had once another Olympic Cambered Bar that was $150.00 over a decade ago, so it was high quality; and this one is very comparable. E.g., this bar is balanced or weighted perfectly; it has a great matte black finish on it and the diamond-cutting for one's grip is very nice as well. Further, the bar weighs 45lbs, which is great as most Cambered bars weigh 22lbs-25lbs tops. Great price and a great bar. ***[UPDATE}*** the bar is ONLY 20lbs (barely over it), so it is NOT the listed "44lbs." Nevertheless, it is still excellent, but the weight should be CORRECTED in their Description and is why I purchased it, i.e., thinking it was the stated "44lbs."

4 stars... and i'll tell you why.Negative: The bar was not fully coated with the black rust resistant spray, there were small parts at the knurling that had silver/iron streaks where it was not fully coated.Positive: Structurally solid!! Comes oil sprayed for rust prevention, knurling on this bar is superb! Grips better than any curl bar i've ever used. Feels heavier than most curl bars i've lifted at the gym, which I like! I really dig the fist decal, doesn't seem cheap. As I'm writing this review I see that the GOPLUS black coated curl bar is out of stock and its only showing the chrome one.OVERALL: Worth buying! Just not having the knurling fully coated in black was a tad disappointing, but I know this bar will last years to come!

Looks like a very well made product. Knurling is not too aggressive but definitely prevents slipping. Chrome finish looks really nice but I don't anticipate it sticking around as I've used the bar once and am starting to see scuffs on the chrome finish. But the bearings on the weight sleeves are nice so far. Spins smoothly but with a little resistance so it doesn't just keep spinning indefinitely. A little short but as advertised and sufficient for the amount of weight I use. purchased for about $68 and I am very satisfied with the purchase.If anything changes I will update this review.

Very nice bar. I upgraded from the golds gym ez bar. This one feels quite a bit better.

I needed a solid EZ Bar for my home gym and researched many of the options available on Amazon. I was a bit unsure which bar to purchase as its difficult to choose without being able to put hands on the bar. In the end, I choose the Chrome plated GOPLUS based on its good reviews, high weight limit and shape. I'm so glad I did! The bar shipped in a heavy cardboard tube and was well protected. The sleeves are very smooth and the chrome plating is very consistent. I'm most happy with the overall shape of the bar, how solid it is and the knurling, which is a perfect texture for me. It's not too aggressive, but allows a strong hold. I only wish it extended further into the middle of the bar for close grip exercises. That's the only reason I subtracted a star. Highly recommended.

I decided to finally just get an EZ bar, this one turned out to be a good choice. The knurling feels fine in hand. The overall quality of The bar is pretty good. Overall I am very satisfied. overall I am very satisfied. The black color works very well for the bar, better than any kind of cheap chrome bar that you might find at a similar price range.

just got mine. minor scuffing of black coating mentioned by others but that's the only down side i can see. arrived a week early, works fine. good bang for the buck, given the current high-demand, high-price situation. you probably won't get a better one for the price.
