CAP BarbellStandard 1-Inch Barbell Weight Set, 100-Pounds

Just built a little in-home gym after putting on the COVID 10. There aren’t many reasonably priced barbell sets available these days and we didn’t want to go crazy because we’re beginner to intermediate workout buffs. I found this barbell set and was reluctant to make the purchase because of all the mediocre reviews but I didn’t have many other options. We took a chance and went for it. My husband and I aren’t body builders by any means but this set turned out to be perfect for us. Seems solid so far and was easily assembled. Bought the matching dumbbell bars too. They are great as well.

Was nice happy with it

The weights are very solid and made of good hard materials. The bar on the other hand is made up of 3 separate metal parts that you have to connect together by aligning the holes and inserting a locking pin mechanism. I'm not too happy with the bar due to this, but the weights are worth the price. I would recommend getting another bar that's more solid and comes in one metal solid piece.

I am not happy with product I paid $120.00For 100 lbs of weights and a barbell.I did NOT receive all the parts to assemble the barbell. I don't have rolling pins to keep the barbell together I only received one lock collar.So basically I can't even use it till I go search out for spare parts. Really?

I am actually pretty happy with this weight set. The bar is a lot sturdier than I thought it was going to be, and it is legitimately usable. The weights themselves are great for the price. They have a nice thick lacquer coating on them. There are a couple of spots of like bean sized pits in the steel, but nothing really troublesome.That said, there is one major problem here. The packaging really needs some help. Luckily, I did receive everything (although one plate fell out as I first picked it up). I am not at all surprised that people have reported missing or incomplete sets. The package itself is rather small, and only made of like double thick cardboard. It did not have straps or anything like that holding it together. The two halves were connected merely by 6 single layer strips of packing tape. And even on the inside its a mess, everything is completely loose. It's kind of just thrown in with some light foam sheets in between things. For me, the foam was already shredded up and clearly did not serve its intended purpose.This package is 100 pounds! Stuff the box completely full of foam, and then wrap it with thick nylon straps! I would gladly have paid an extra ten bucks for this set if that meant the packaging would be up to par. So while thankfully I did manage to receive my weight set intact (barely), I have to take off two stars for the sake of anybody interested in buying these. It's a nice set, great value, but there's probably only like a 50% chance that the it will make it to you in one piece. I was considering buying another set, but it's not worth the risk now IMO.

I bought two of these sets when they were on sale for 66 cents a pound with free Prime shipping. I was only wanted the plates to use for making some heavy dumbbells, and with the price was so low, I decided to take a chance. I received all the advertised components in both sets. The plates are the standard gray CAP plates. All of mine arrived in good shape.I can only assume the reports of missing pieces are due to the boxes being damaged in shipping. The boxes I received had reinforced packing bands around them, and somewhere along the line, they were completely wrapped in packing tape. One of the two boxes was crushed a little during shipping, cracking the cardboard, but the tape held the box together and kept everything inside.Based on comments in some of the other reviews, I should also mention that the bar looks like it would be fine for a set like this. They are in three pieces held together with two tapered pins on each end of the center section. You're going to need a mallet to drive the pins home.

I used to work out at the gym for 3 hours, one hour for abs. 33 years later I bought this set to start pumping again and surprise the tricepes popped out first...lol This is a good set

If you have an Olympic size bench, you'll have to buy a separate seven foot standard bar. The bar that comes in this set is five foot and won't be long enough. It's what I had to do. My recommendation is to keep the five foot bar around as a curl bar and for things like that.Ultimately, I would recommend this set of weights. It's great if you're just starting out or getting back into weightlifting (like me) and once you're able to, you can easily supplement what comes in this set with larger plates.

Box was smashed up , because of the weight are 100 pounds and hard to move , but in the box everything was fine

It sucks, the weights are fine but the bar is impossible to assemble!! The pieces don’t fit together! And no I’m not talking about the bar sections I’m talking about the small little metal piece that’s supposed to keep it in place! This thing SUCKS

Breaks down very easily
