Whether you're upgrading your home gym or just starting out with barbell training, the Bulldog Gear Cerakote 20kg 7ft Olympic Barbell deserves your attention

WORTH ITS WEIGHT

If you’re in the market for a barbell for your home or garage gym, comfort, versatility and aesthetics are likely top priorities. Similarly, if you’re outfitting a commercial gym, durability and visual appeal are key considerations. The Bulldog Gear Cerakote 20kg 7ft Olympic Barbell ticks many boxes.

Design

This is one of the best-looking bars on the market. If you’re someone who films your own training to post on social media, it’s sure to get you some extra attention. It also comes in Olive green, Black, Blue and Teal. You can’t say that Bulldog haven’t thought about aesthetics with this one.

Bulldog is big on the small details, too, with subtle branding in a couple of places on the bar. And I like that the specs of the barbell are added to each end. You won’t be forgetting that this is a 28mm, 20kg Olympic barbell made by Bulldog Gear anytime soon. However, good looks don’t always equal decent strength and performance.
