Buffalo Olympic Barbell

Perfect accessory, great value

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely love this for squatting and bench. It sits a bit awkwardly on the rack when the bar is empty, but once loaded with weights it's no issue.

Great quality, no complaints. Will fit your rack better if it is a 49 inch width.

Great deal

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This is the best bang for your buck bow-type bar I was able to find easily available in Canada. You can tell it isn't a 600 dollar bar, but it also doesn't cost nearly that much.

I was a little apprehensive about shipping damage because the box was DESTROYED, but there wasn't any. (The cause of the box falling apart is that it wasn't rigid enough to resist the bar's irregular shape rolling inside.)

Buffalo bar - huge stretch, amazing price

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I have been using this bar for bench pressing and squatting for the past several weeks. I had never used a Buffalo bar before. On squat the load is distributed differently than with a straight bar, sort of draped across the shoulders. It is a nice variation, not unequivocally better, but nice. And the lower centre of mass might let you open the hips and squat more upright and so hit the quads a bit harder, I'm no biomechanic.

For bench pressing it is a revelation. I have used it with flat and low incline bench pressing. The stretch in the bottom position is wild. It's about an extra 3" ROM when I grip it with my regular bench press width with index finger on the knurling ring. Great pec stimulus. I hit it at ~50 pounds less than my straight bar bench weight for several weeks, tried flat bar bench the other day, no loss of strength. Stretch mediated hypertrophy rules OK!

The bar is great, especially for the price. As someone else mentioned the packaging was terrible, the box was destroyed when it arrived. The bar had a small ding on the end of the sleeve, but it's a Barbell, who cares? Lol

The part of the barbell that is straight is too short. Long story short , it will destroy your j-cups completely in a regular rack because the barbell bending starts right where the j-cups holds the bar so it’s going side to side when you put it down on it. If that makes sense …
