CAP Barbell Workout Bar, 20-Pound

Item arrived damaged, though usable. After reporting this, I was given a discount, which was the appropriate thing to do. Otherwise, the bar is what I expected.

The weighted bar works well, but the foam cover over the bar itself does not seem to be very durable. So far after just a few hours of use it shows some signs of wear and small cuts.

I bought this bar to practice olympic lifting since I''m brand new to it, and my regular 45lb bar was a bit much for me. I love that the bar is padded, so it doesn''t hurt my boney collarbones when I''m trying to do cleans. However, the padding makes the bar thicker than a regular bar, preventing me from using the proper hook grip. Not a huge deal when you''re only lifting 20lbs, but I kind of wish it were the same circumference as a normal bar.

If you''re just using it for everyday exercises, it''s truely awesome. It seems to be made of good quality materials. You won''t want to lean it against anything sharp because it could cut the padding around the bar, but that''s just the nature of anything padded like that. It is shorter than a normal bar, so you probably can''t use it in a squat rack or bench press rack if you were thinking of buying it for that.

Overall, I think it''s good quality, and it could be perfect depending on what you plan to use it for.
