The bars are usually pretty ****ty, though. I agree with the previous poster that you are better off buying a decent 300 pound set. You won't get the greatest bar, but it will be better than the ones they sell at Wal-Mart.

I got a wal-mart bar........nothing wrong with it yet.
I actually like it more than the one my gym has got.....
The grip is better, thats about it....and its like a few pounds lighter.
I paid like $50 for the olympic bar.
It's a bar, it holds weight, im no ronnie coleman, so it does what I need.
Period.

Link To Sears Weight Sets
Edit: Should ad that sears weights go on sale pretty regularly. The rubber encase set was $190 for about the last month or so - it's currently 335.99. So if you see a set you really want and it's not on sale, it's worth it to wait it out for the "sale".

I was probably a litte too harsh...The O-bars that I have seen at Wal-Mart usually have shoulder bolts that hold the sleeves to the bar. That is probably fine for home use. However, I run our high school weightroom and our bars get a lot of use and punishment (we use Texas power bars). Those shoulder bolts wouldn't last very long with high school kids!
But, like you said, the Wal-Mart bars are probably fine for most home use.
