Independent reviews of the bar,
"The bar is lovely, nice knurling, good flex and spin! In that price range I've used rogue bars and the again faster klokov bar, even used the Taishan bar, and this bar to me feels the most comfortable and is definitely the most versatile of the lot! Super pleased with it! Will definitely point people towards this bad when asked! It's one of the best if not the best bar for crossfit that I've used, and as great a quality that rogue bars are, I would definitely take the bastard bar over the Ohio or rogue bar!" - Jordan - July 2015
I bought the bar for my son’s use in the Olympic lifts, based upon the performance of the15kg Junior/Women’s bar which we’ve used for 5yrs faithfully. I have no doubt this new bar will perform just fine. Thank You for the prompt service and zero shipping cost.

Great bar, amazing customer service
Great bar. Have been using it for the last 5 months for powerlifting, general use. Knurling is sharp for secure grip in heavy deadlifts but also not too aggressive to rip your skin off after 3 heavy sets, as usually happens with specialist power bars. Over the years I have used all sorts of powerlifting, Olympic, general purpose bars. This one is one of the very best general purpose with bias towards powerlifting, I think. Also AMAZING customer service! That is a very reliable, decent company that cares for its costumers, products and its reputation.
