Identify barbell that came with Ivanko OM weights

[chexmix78]

I haven’t really been here for years, but need help and didn’t know where else to go

I just picked up from offer-up a really nice Ivanko OM set. It looks like it’s part of the 302lb set. So I assumed at the bar might be like OB-86 cheaper Ivanko bar it seems to be 30 mm but I’m not sure

and it looks older

It looks like a cheaper bar, maybe an old Jesup or Body Solid bar. If it's the one I'm thinking of, the set screws at the end of the sleeves are really short and fit in grooves at the end of the shaft, which is what keeps the sleeves on.

That said, I had one or two of these at various points and liked them for squats and bench press. They're very stiff, and I kind of liked the knurling. I think it may actually be 32 mm.

Those Ivanko's look great. How do you like the Rep rubber plates?

They are good. I had a lot of Good equipment And Good benches and cheap mismatched plates And cheap dumbbells for years

I recently redid the gym to allow a car in garage. I sold all benches and weights and simplified. The hope was to buy ivankos 632.5 set

Shipped though I think it was nearly 1800.


Instead I bought the reps for a lot cheaper and they are awesome. I deal with rust issues in garage. But besides that, look nice and if I recall are pretty precise on weight

The ivankos In picture I just bought yesterday, I couldn’t pass them up. Used them today

[chexmix78]

To clarify the reps were purchased because of the rust issues

Hope the rubber helps

Same reason I sold my Matt Chan bar to buy a Cerakote bar
