Features & Highlights

• Bright Zinc Finish – Bright Zinc is a cost-efficient plating that does an OK job at fighting off rust. You won’t get the same feel as you would with a non-plated finish like bare steel, stainless steel, etc… but you get a good blend of feel and rust resistance without the larger price tag.
• 28mm Shaft – The 28mm shaft on the Vulcan Standard Bearing Bar is consistent with Olympic Weightlifting bars. This diameter will offer a comfortable grip and a whippy shaft ideal for Oly lifts.
• Tensile Strength – The 196k PSI tensile strength is in the wheelhouse for quality Olympic Weightlifting bars.
• Grooved Sleeves – The grooved sleeves will tend to keep the plates on the bar better than a smooth sleeve when not using collars, but they will also be louder. The sleeves are finished in bright zinc.
• Needle Bearings – The bar offers five needle bearings per sleeve, for a total of ten bearings.
• No Center Knurl – The Vulcan Standard Bearing Bar does not offer a center knurl, making it ideal for high volume/rep training. It will generally be a more comfortable bar.
• Strong Warranty – This bar offers a lifetime warranty against bending, breaking, or seizing.
• Made in America – This bar is made in the USA.

What They’re Saying at Vulcan Strength

The Vulcan Standard Bearing Bar receives very positive feedback from users. With a 5/5 average rating at vulcanstrength.com, here are some of the things people have said:

Positive

• “The construction and tolerances in this bar are tight and really well done. The sleeves have No Side To Side Play Whatsoever. It’s exactly what it should be for a mid range training bar that can double duty as a multi use bar, a deadlift bar, a gym bar, and really the only limitation it might run into for some people is really heavy squats as some folks will not like the amount of flex.”
• “Extremely pleased with my purchase. Replaced my old box store bar with this and cant rate it high enough. Solid feel, gorgeous finish and a smooth spin. 10/10 would buy again.”
• “Although I’ve only had this barbell a short time, I can comment on a few things. It is very well constructed. The finish is very nice. The knurling is close in feel to a Swedish training barbell. I’m very happy with it and I’m sure it will be a gym favorite.”
