These barbells are 7′ long and weigh approximately 45 lbs. We call them economy barbells because they’re the most inexpensive bars we carry. They’ll get the job done with most basic weightlifting exercises and are rated to handle roughly 300 lbs. At the end caps of each of our economy bars is a hex bolt which bears the weight in addition to the force added from exercises that involve dropping the bar.
Regardless of condition, we generally keep our economy bars priced at just $100.
Our economy barbells are very functional, but if you intend on using your bar for a variety of exercises with greater weight quantities, we recommend checking out some of our other higher-end barbells to ensure your satisfaction with a long-lasting bar.
