Olympic Weight Bar | CFF Keystone 20 kg Olympic Needle Bearing Bar | 205,000 psi tensile, 8 bearing | Men's 20kg Olympic Weightlifting Bar | 2000 lb Weight Capacity

Top quality barbell, and as another review mentioned, make sure to clean the barbell of chalk and sweat or it will rust. My wife had hung damp shower towels on the barbell (we store it horizontally as suggested by the manufacturer to protect the needle bearings) and I noticed rust on the barbell, a quick spray of simple green and wipe of a rag, the rust was gone. It does everything a barbell should, spins effortlessly, holds Olympic plates, knurling is great, not too rough or too small, just perfect. No center knurling, it definitely prevented messed up shins and knees during dead lifts.

Good spin, aggressive but comfortable knurling. Easily one of the better bars I've used for the the price

During the covid epidemic weight training equipment has been hard to find. This bar was delivered promptly. I am not using it for super heavy weights but it is well knurled and overall is a nice bar

Seems like a great bar on the cheap! Great spin , I bought a second on Amazon warehouse deals all that was on mine was a sticky grease like substance that cleaned off pretty well, and a few minor end cap area blems other than that a really good bar for 200 bucks! What is the wieght rating on this bar?

More than I expected at this price point for a real Olympic bar! Most bars at this price are a beater bar, but not this. I have probably one of the best bars in my gym now!

Great product. This has the best spin of any of the bars I own. I would have liked the knurling to be more aggressive, but its up to the preference of the user, as many dont like the chafing that comes with a more aggressive pattern.This bar has a chrome finish to it that really makes it a bargain, especially when considering the fact that it is a needle bearing bar with over 200k tensile strength that puts other bars into the $700 and over range.If you plan on doing olympic lifts, there really isn't a better bar with a better price out there on the market that I have seen.

Great bar! Exceptional Value!PackagingThe Keystone bar was shipped via Fedex Home within a heavy duty cardboard tube. The tube had hard plastic endcaps and was wrapped heavily with fiber/filament tape. Inside the tube, the bar was wrapped in a clear plastic sleeve.Knurl: The bar has dual knurl marks and no center knurl. I would consider the knurl a softer knurl. That being said, I had no issue performing any lift without any chalk.Spin: This is a bearing bar, so people are mostly looking at it for the Oly lifts and want that bearing spin. I had an issue with one sleeve due to some shipping damage (I believe), but the good sleeve still way more spin than one would need for Olympic lifting. I was taking some longer exposure shots to show the spin and I finished taking the shot, moved my light around, changed some settings, and the plate was still spinning. On the sleeve with the issue, it still spun better than any bushing bar.Conclusion:Solid, solid bar! Hard chrome finish looks great, smooth spin, great-looking snap-ring endcaps. I’ve used this for oly lifts and some deadlifting - can’t really say anything bad about the bar. Knurling is on the mild side, but I had no issues doing the oly lifts and deadlifts with zero chalk.

The Keystone 20kg bar is a great bar for lifters just starting out to a few years of lifting. The bar spins great and has no catch at any point. The knurling is not super aggressive but sharp enough to get a solid grip on the bar. The only drawback on this bar is that it has a bit too much whip but if you have never used a high end bar you probably won’t notice. We have had numerous cleans on this bar over 350 pounds and the bar is still as straight as the day we got it! If you do not brush the chalk off of the bar it will start to rust.Jon ZajacLancaster Fitness and Performance and Lancaster Barbell Club
