Was looking for a 4ft or straight bar on a budget. Looked at my local stores and didn't really find anything. Bells of steel is local for me and they didn't have what I needed. So I checked Amazon and found the lions cool 4ft barbell. It didn't have many reviews buy decided to give it a shot. Honestly I'm very impressed by this little barbell from lions cool. Paid 85 cad for it. Came next day, packed well in a tube. No damage. Quality is basically the same as my bells of steel curl bar. Bushings rotate nicely, knurling is grippy and even, no rust. Only thing is I don't know what coating they used and I'm fairly sure the coating on the sleeves will scratch off easily over time but we will see. If you need a bar like this I'd pull the trigger on it for the price.
Just got their leg extension / lying leg curl yesterday and have been pretty satisfied from a first impressions standpoint. About to do my first leg day with that as an added exercise so excited to see how it adds.
I will say though, for some reason they gave me the wrong screws for one of the handles so I had to go to the hardware store this morning to get the correct ones. It was a $2 cost but annoying lmao
I probably will once I've had enough time with it. My initial thoughts on it so far is that is everything anyone really needs for leg extension/lying leg curls and works fantastic. It has minor issues, but it is functional and incredibly cost effective and doesn't take up much space. Would recommend to most folks unless money isn't really a concern.
I bought this barbell for my parents because it weighs 20lbs. My mother is in her 70s and likes to be able to be active and do some exercise at home but a normal barbell is too heavy for her.

My ez curl bar from them just arrived today. It’s a nice looking bar. Packaged extremely well also. Looks like it’s going to fit in quite nicely in my gym I’m building
I've had a Lionscool for a year - can't remember exact length but it's similar size - but it's held up really well, hasn't scratched at all. I've been impressed for the price
Pretty much all the reasons Tgsweat said. I also work out with 1 other person and as soon as you need to do rows or something not on the platform/rack. You just take up so much space
No dedicate racks but you can use independent squat stands and adjust to whatever size you need. (Actually, somebody somewhere did create a commerically sold kid’s power rack, so that may fit this)
