Don't have the time or money to showoff in a gym? Then get the versatile BAR
The best bar I ever owned. Don't go for bars that don't come with their own locks because you'll be wasting your money. I once bought a bar said to secure standard weight plates thinking I can use the same locks I used for my dumbbells which also supported standard plates and the bar ended up being like a millimeter short and my locks wouldn't fit it. Yes standard size bars or locks are not always the same size.
I've had bars that would rust on me in less than a month but this one is holding out. The locks screw on and off so easy I love it and I can usually complete two or three workouts before having to tighten them again. It may seem skinny and hard to feel in my grip but all bars feel that way to me. It sometimes falls too short when I do the overhead press. I'm 6 ft so if I'm not careful where I place my hands the weight hits the side of my forearm when doing this particular exercise and my 20lb plates are small designed for dumbbells. I have the same problem with the bench press. But with everything else (bent over row upright row squats deadlift or even curls if your wrists can take it) this bar makes a tough workout comfortable.
I use to do everything with dumbbells but I find bars make things so much easier when doing compound workouts using both arms or legs. Especially with bent over rows or presses because I spend less time concentrating on maintaining equal distance between hands and more time focusing on movement muscle contraction and good form which is essential in preventing injury.More detail ...
