Multi-Purpose Olympic Barbell – The Utility Bar

Excellent multipurpose bar!

Knurling is great, came without any blemishes. Excellent value at this price point. Easily one of the best bars you can get under $500. Recommended!

Great bar to start the big lifts with

I decided to go with the multi-purpose bar because I wanted to do a starting strength novice progression, and the specs on this bar (28.5mm, center knurl, bushing sleeves) checked all the boxes for squatting, deadlifting, and the power clean when I get to that point. I've been doing bench, squat, deadlift, and overhead pressing with the bar for a few weeks, and it is working out great.

Good solid bar!

I recently bought this bar to replace a cheaper one I had that had a much lower capacity. Debated whether to go with this one or one of the expensive ones from the “other guys”. Very satisfied with the overall quality of this bar especially at the price point. Seems like I made the right choice.
