Why Choose An Olympic Weightlifting Barbell?
To begin with if you are not doing any olympic lifts, like the clean, snatch, or clean and jerk, you are better off getting the B.o.S. powerlifting bar. If you are actively doing the olympic lifts, then a needle bearing bar is essential for these reasons:
A hardened chrome finish strengthens the bar and to provides excellent corrosion resistance compared to a zinc or black oxide finish. The other main benefit being little to no maintenance is required for this finish unlike a zinc or oxide finish which requires regular maintenance.

CAFinally got it, super worth it!
BoS are simply my first recommendation to anyone and everyone wondering about a Canadian fitness equipment supplier. They have been for years. Picking up the BoS 2.0 Weightlifting bar has cemented that even more for me. Bar arrived packaged secure enough to survive a nuclear holocaust and came exactly as advertised. While it’ll never be confused for an Eleiko I can at least still afford to take my dog to the vet and not have to go on an all Ramen diet. I love that BoS provides high quality gear I don’t have to sell a kidney for. Customer service is always on point. And maybe I’ll even get strong enough to bend this bar one day - maybe… Thanks BoS! Ya’ll are as lovely as you are beautiful. Keep up the great work!
