Got the bar bought because I wanted something home pumps. The original Bodypump rod is quite a lot more expensive. So, now to the bar: + The padding offers good tack + Very pleasant on the shoulder as a little thicker and softer + Very light, similar to the pump rod + Slightly wider as the pump rod, especially good for chest workout + Standard weights fit it + - For little hands on some exercises might be too thick + - The printed label has passed quickly, but I did not bother. + - Processing is OK, but not outstanding.
Bodybuilders etc. should better get a bar of solid metal, it is hollow inside.
