I have no esp with that bar but it looks good for the price. I may have to get one if it does get a good review.

I think Bodysolid barbells are from Cap barbell.

I was thinking about it but decided to get a Pendlay HD bar instead. I could have picked it up also but knowing it was Cap, it actually bothered me.

Compared to the other BS equipment I own this bar is JUNK! The one they sent me had a horrible chrome job and the knurling was crappy. The quality was so bad I was convinced they sent me the cheaper model (there were no markings on there bar) by accident.
After discussing the matter with the distributor and BS I found out that the cheaper model uses an allen head bolt to hold the sleeves on (same as with their Olympic dumbbell handles which are MUCH nicer than this bar) and the PB uses an internal snap ring.
Anyway, I sent mine back and went with another brand. Although it could have been just an isolated thing I can't believe they let something that shoddy (it looked like it was galvanized) out the door.
BTW, the distributor I worked with said that the BS and Cap bars are not made by the same company. The similarity with the part numbers is just coincidence.
