Budget Short Barbell
4 Stars
Budget Short Barbell
This is an acceptable short 5 foot barbell. Due to my garage space constraints, I had to purchase a shorter barbell. The paint is cheap and chips, the ends are held on by a hex nut, and it is only possible to do close grip bench press. It takes a little adjustment for squat as well. This barbell is $50, so don't expect it to be a Rogue. It's cheap, it works, don't overload the crap out of it. Budget barbell.
