Hero Barbell Co.Olympic Competition Barbell for Weightlifting, Functional Fitness, and Powerlifting. 8 Needle Bearings, 28 MM and rated for 1500 LBS

Use furniture pads from a box store on your J Hooks so the bar stays nice. It’s sexy AF

I think this may be my new favorite barbell. I have been using Rogue bars (2.0 & Ohio) at my affiliate for years, we also have a few Luxiaojun and Eleiko XF bars. And although I like every single one of them, the Hero barbell is quickly becoming my favorite. It feels and spins great, the needle bearing a great upgrade over the typical bushing bars we have from Rogue.And when you factor in the price and warranty, I don't think you can beat the Hero Barbell. Cheaper than Rogue and Eleiko training bars, and if you like a 28mm bar for extra whip and bearings for good spin, this is the way to go.Awesome product! I think we will be buying these in the future for my gym.

The bar is AWESOME. Shipping was faster than what was shown. Comparing to other high end bars, it is the same if not better. Knurling is AWESOME, not too aggressive but it grips well. I Love my Red bar. I plan on getting 2 more. AWESOME.- Bar is rated @ 1500lbs, only used up to 315lbs so far, but will only go up to 500lbs due to my rack being a wall mounted rack. in any case I cant squat, bench or deadlift that much anyway... LOL... but it holds good. very well balanced, it takes a good beating. As the saying goes, " Takes a licking and keeps on ticking." I approve this message.

This bar feels incredible and seems to be made with great precision. Unfortunately, the bar's blue paint is wearing thin after only a couple of weeks of use where it rests on the rack's J-hooks. (I believe the bar is probably designed more specifically for Olympic lifts and isn't intended to be used on a rack as often as I have beenusing it.) The bars ability to spin is amazingly smooth. I love the feel and action of the bar.

This is the BEST barbell I have ever used! The colors pop and don’t wear. It’s tight and rivals rogue or any other high end equipment.When I ordered my 2nd for the home gym, I accidentally had it shipped to my old address and they bent over backwards to make sure it was rerouted to my new house.

I did my research and found that everyone that has one loved it. Then add a warranty second to none at 5 years. The bearings are excellent, it's balanced, the knurling is just right. It has been about a month and the only signs of wear are on the ends. I could not be happier.

I have this along with the bench on my back deck. It has endured rain, sun shine & snow. It is still holding up.

Great bar with good whip for Olympic lifts! Seems like a great deal so far. The bar came with a few scratches on the collars, which was unfortunate to see. Besides that, great bar!
