Bought for private training at home to me this barbell. The shipment was quite fast, actually how it is also used on Amazon. The rod is kreuzgerändelt at the handles and with its 1.60m length to handle and 30mm-diameter well. The disk-mounting surface is about 25cm on each side, making it once sufficient. I myself am now more than a year (3 times a week) during training and needed for warming up, a second barbell. Have decided on this because it is quite easy and the price-performance ratio is just right here. Two spring clips are also included, making the total purchase rounds off well. * IMPORTANT *: For a higher disc weight / off-30kg around, however, I recommend buying a massive rod, because this is a so-called hollow rod. Otherwise -as already said- for Beginners highly recommended.
