Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between Bushing and Bearing barbells?
This is a critical distinction for performance.
Bushings (usually brass or bronze) offer a slower, more controlled spin, making them ideal for powerlifting movements like squat and bench press where stability is key. Needle Bearings (used in this Elite Barbell) allow the sleeve to spin freely and quickly. This is essential for Olympic lifts (Snatch, Clean & Jerk) as it prevents the inertia of the spinning plates from torquing your wrists and elbows.
Why is 210,000 PSI tensile strength important?
PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) measures the steel's break point. A standard gym bar is often 130k-150k PSI. At 210,000 PSI, this bar provides excellent "whip" (elasticity) without staying bent permanently, even after being loaded with heavy weight. It is the gold standard for commercial-grade equipment.
How do I maintain a hard chrome Olympic barbell?
While hard chrome is highly rust-resistant, proper care extends its life. 1. Brush the Knurling: Use a nylon brush to remove chalk and skin cells after heavy use. 2. Wipe Down: Occasionally wipe the shaft with a light 3-in-1 oil to prevent oxidation. 3. Check Sleeves: Ensure bearings are spinning freely; add a drop of lubricant if needed annually.
Is this barbell suitable for dropping?
Yes. Because it uses high-tensile steel and quality needle bearings, it is designed to withstand controlled drops when used with bumper plates on a lifting platform or rubber gym flooring. Never drop a loaded barbell on concrete or without plates.
Does this bar have a centre knurl?
Yes. This bar features a passive centre knurl. This provides crucial friction on your back during squats to prevent the bar from sliding down, but it is not so aggressive that it will scrape your chest during front rack positions.

G25 Multifunctional Gym from “24/7 Gym Equipment”.
G25 Gym from 24/7 Gym Equipment. Precision, Quality, Smooth. Solid and Beautiful to look at means 100% satisfaction. Installation is lengthy but worth the trouble to appreciate the quality and how good it is. Very happy with my purchase and definitely recommend over the competition.
24/7 were on point, very flexible and nothing was an issue. Sam is equally a genuine salesperson without the pushing hype to sell. He listens and fits in with you.
Thank god I found this and it's local. So sick of reading about bodgy workmanship or crap customer service...nd that's after paying a fortune for something you thought was quality. This bench is a beast. Looks like you could ride to battle in it yet it's easy to put together and move with the wheels. No it's not foldaway: it's an incline bench not a picnic table. I can lift with confidence knowing it's not going to wobble or buckle.
Sam easy going and helpful, I picked it up the next morning. They deliver too. Cheers.

These dumbbells exemplify the outstanding quality you’d expect from all 247 Gym Equipment products. I bought them specifically for their ability to handle variable weights, ideal for exercises like chest presses, shoulder raises, and rows. To expand their versatility, I added six 5kg machine Olympic iron plates, which has been a fantastic choice—they easily convert the set into 10kg, 20kg, or even 30kg dumbbells. However, I’d caution against using plates heavier than 5kg. One review noted they are a perfect alternative to hex dumbbells, even though the plates can be a bit too wide.

Great product and very convenient as tou just mix one packet to 600ml water. I use these at work and when out mountain biking.
Love the mix pack as you have a good variety of flavours.
