Troy TLW-40G Lightweight Barbell System

This bar is exactly what I needed to advance my workout regime. And the free shipping was great! Arrived in great condition and ready for use. Very well packaged for shipping.

I have had this for many years. It is great with my Cathe workouts. As for clips being stiff, you get used to sliding them on and off. In the Cathe workouts the pace is fast and you have to change weight quickly. I wish they could hold more weight though.

I purchased it for my daughter who's a personal trainer. She likes it a lot just the right balance of weights for the ladies in her class.

These weights are well made so the quality is there, but, I think supplier/retailer could drop their profit margin slightly because this set is a little expensive for what you are actually getting.

This barbell system is just like what they use in the Group Power workout class. Nice one-piece bar with subtle texturing. The spring clips are a little stiff and hard to slide on and off, but I'm guessing that they may loosen up just a bit with use.

I use this lightweight barbell system for a women's Powerflex class ... the bar is lightweight and hollow, I can lift it with one hand. The weights are some sort of plastic vinyl covered weights and perfect for our Powerflex group class. We load two 2 1/2 pounders and two 5 pounders for our approx 5 min warmup routine. For squats, I usually use two 10 pounders, but I've seen other girls load up 17 1/2 pounds on each end of the bar. I love this set, and I'm thinking it would make a great Christmas present to go with my Cathe' STS home workout system. I don't STEP with these, as I hurt my knee with my husband's heavier bars, but I intend to try stepping with this set, either at the gym or if I do get one of these as a gift ...
