The OB-85B is an affordable Olympic weight lifting bar that is perfect for integrating with strength equipment such as an Olympic bench press or power cage. Use this bar in your garage gym, school weight room or fitness studio for increased strength and lean muscle gains.

The 7′ long OB-85B Olympic barbell has a finish consisting of black oxide throughout the entire bar including the gripping area and sleeves.
