New CAP Barbell 7' Chromed Olympic Weight Bar 11805-CAPOB85

A 7' Olympic weight bar is an essential component of strength training equipment such as squat racks and Olympic bench presses. They can also be used in conjunction with rubber mats or an Olympic weight lifting platform when performing Olympic style barbell lifts including deadlifts and cleans. The 7' Olympic weight lifting bar has long been recognized as the gold standard for increasing raw strength and gaining lean muscle mass throughout the body. Weight lifters aren't the only guys and gals utilizing Olympic weight bars to improve their physiques... athletes and first responders also use them to improve performance on the field and on the job. A consistent barbell training program with a good quality Olympic bar can produce impressive and long lasting results.

Each 7' long Olympic barbell has a gripping area and sleeves that are chrome plated increasing the overall aesthetics while offering protection from the elements. Independently rotating barbell sleeves have ample room for multiple plate loading and remove torquing on the users wrists during lifts caused by moving or spinning plates. A medium grade diamond knurling ensures a solid grip while not being too abrasive to the palms. The 500 lb. weight capacity allows even the seasoned weight lifter to pile on the 45 lb. plates when performing heavy pressing and squatting barbell movements.
