1 / 7CAP OBIS-85-3 Olympic Barbell, 7 ft
The CAP OBIS-85-3 Olympic Barbell is listed as a 7-foot bar for home strength training. Its stated 500-pound capacity, knurled grip and rotating sleeves suit common barbell lifts, but the listing disagrees about its material and construction, so confirm those details before buying.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about construction: the details field says Aluminum, while feature text says durable steel with 100,000 PSI tensile strength. It also gives 34.8 pounds in details but calls the bar 35 LB in a feature, and describes the finish as both Chrome and hard chrome. These specifications are unconfirmed, so verify the selected listing if material, exact weight or finish matters.
