Summary
The Nike Coated Premium Barbell is a 20-kilogram barbell with good specs and even better aesthetics. The barbell comes in black with the “Just Do It” slogan on the center of the bar, or in orange or red, with the Nike swoosh. The barbell has a shaft diameter of 28 millimeters and needle bearings—ideal for Olympic weightlifting, although it may not have the right specs for a dedicated powerlifting bar.
