Gold's Gym 100 lbs Pounds Cement Barbell Weight Set

I needed a good beginner barbell set and I decided to buy this onepros:-easy setup, just hammer the two pins in and your bar will be nice and tight and ready to go. the clips are also easy to set.-weights won't rust-the grip feels great (textured onto the bar itself), previously I had to deal with crappy plastic/foam grips on other bars that just felt terrible-easy to adjust the weights, just take the clips off and adjust as neededcons: (not really a con, little note)-very minor thing, but you should not go over 100lbs with this bar.I personally would not trust going over 100lbs, You would be better off buying a more solid bar once you are ready to go above 100lbs.Overall I love this set and I will definitely buy more products from this company in the future, again probably the biggest thing for me is how good the grips feel.

great product, very heavy so person who delivered did a great and a safe job.

The money I ended up paying for the amount of weight I received was a pretty nice bargain, I thought, but there are a couple of things that should be noted as far as the bar itself is concerned.First off, it's a two-piece bar as displayed in the picture. What isn't very clear is how the two pieces fit together. Included are two small, steel pins. The assembly instructions state that it's just a simple matter of tapping the pins into the appropriate holes with a hammer, but doing just that proved to be a wasted effort as the pins would go in one side and just fall out the other. The only way I managed to get the pins to stay in position was to find a hard surface and basically hit the pins from both sides until the ends flared out. This action resulted in the bar getting a bit scratched up from the effort, but otherwise it seems to be stable enough. It probably isn't nearly as stable as it would have been were it one solid, single piece, but that's what this comes to work with.The only other thing I think I should address is this whole idea that you could use this bar as a sort of starter kit and gradually get more weight and just slap it on there, exceeding the original 100 lb. limit. As bulky as these weights are, I'm not too sure how much more you could realistically get on there, and even if you could get more weight on there, I'm not sure how safe such an idea would be considering this bar's construction. That's not just my opinion either; the paperwork coming with this set implicitly states that the bar is only intended to hold up to the 100 lbs included with it and is not to be used with any other weights. Could you anyway if you really wanted to? Maybe, but I'm not about to try it because I could realistically see this bar snapping in half and causing some damage.

every thing you need for the basics in a workout routine and at a low price makes it a good buy

I ordered these back in 2013 and i cant get enough of how good they still hold up. I bought them for myself, because I'm always on the go and don't have the time to go to a gym. These are good quality, last long and will continue to do so. i do deadlifts with these weights and have worked wonders.

The box came in such a poor conditions the bag that brings the pins feel out, and with out the pins this thing is basically just waiting to fall on you.

fantastic bar and 100lbs of weights to start your home gym off right ! bar even has grips on it and feels great. great piece of workout equip i highly suggest it great price too !

I'm 6'2 245, my partner is 6'4 about 225. it checks out. we actually had to help the Fedex guy. he claimed he had a (Bad Back) & (that stuff is Heavy) but we had fun with it. load all weights and do 5 sets of 15 rest, do 5 sets of 10, then do another 5 sets of 15. you're chest will thank you later.
