Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Included on an instruction sheet with the package the manufacturer says do not load more then 60 pounds on the barbell... This is a 3 piece barbell that screws together (probably to save on shipping/packaging), so I imagine the absurd limitation is because of that. I've never personally seen a bar rated that low. My significantly cheaper dumbells have a much higher 'max' rating. I've seen duct tape hold more then 60lbs before in fact! I bought this so I could throw some of my 1in dumbbell weights on it and do various high rep exercises. However the max weight wasn't listed anywhere online, and I couldn't imagine it would be so low, so now I really can't safely use it how I intended. Keep this max in mind if you're really considering this set, I know there isn't much available in 2020 for weights, but 60lb can be maxed out near instantly by even some beginners, and pretty much every other bar ever made will have a significantly higher max then that. In addition I'm not a fan of the plates and the collars, they allow too much movement. I ended up returning this set. You can buy a cheap Cap 1" bar for 30 bucks that supports 250lbs, there's no reason for this bars vastly inferior quality. I know it's hard to find the bar and plates in stock in 2020, use a browser plugin/website like Keepa to get notifications when they come back in stock, because it actually happens often (but only for hours at a time until they're sold out), it took me an additional couple weeks to wait for stock on the bar + several 25lb plates, much cheaper then this set.
