Bushing vs Bearing Barbell | Which Should YOU Choose?

[@SchneiderMediaConsulting]

Everything explained in under 5 minutes. Where has this guy been all my life?

[@ep1434]

Im actually shocked at just how well explained this is. Im a rookie lifter but am designing a smith machine, and just now learning that barbells have such technical specs. The information in this video is golden

[@RedwolfEDC]

This video is literally perfect, I reference back to this video whenever a beginner has a question because you explain and show everything a beginner needs to know better then anyone I have ever seen, again this video is literally perfect.

[@Izzy-qv5eb]

What an excellent teacher!

You should get much much more subscribers (100x) for the informatic breakdowns, explanations and efforts in the video you made

Digging my Wonderbar with plain bushing. Less expensive and works great for me.

[@FringeSportHQ]

Love to hear it!

[@GilGiovani]

Best explanation I’ve heard of this subject… Thanks!

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

Thank you for your videos! Very informative without being long winded

[@adwait_natu]

Ohh wow, the engineering terms quite well explained by fitness guy! Totally unexpected and amazing! That was helpful! Thanks and keep it up!

[@jamestonbellajo]

Love this breakdown. Can you guys do one of bronze vs composite bushings as well?

[@FringeSportHQ]

Good idea!

[@ThePrashantrao]

This video needs more views!!! great content, keep em comin please. Subscribed thinking you'd make more knowledge vids.

[@TimJustice]

I heard Peter mention both Bronze and Brass when he was talking about the bushings. My understanding is Brass is softer and he didn't mean to mention Bronze. Also, I've seen where some manufacturers offer bars with BOTH bushing and bearings. Do you have an example of that and can you explain the benefit to getting a bar with both? Thanks guys, Great vid Peter!

[@1amughe]

Great explanation. Thank you.

[@CalvinWilliamRoss]

Hmm. I had no idea, thank you.

[@angelorolfojr6889]

Thank you! very informative.

The bushings came lose in the sleeve of my barbell. They just slide back and forth when the bar is tilted now. This is not only obnoxious, but it makes my bar feel cheap and junky. Why would they come loose all the sudden after being fixed for the rest of the time I had the bar? Any way to fix this?

[@drsalt4795]

Can you swap the bushings out with needle bearings or do you need to buy a new bar?

[@jwdshihan]

Solid

[@JosiasBernal]

Muchas gracias

[@Runner-Boy]

Feels like the weights are flat on it should I replace the bearings, lookes it up mine has 2 bushings and 4 bearings ?

[@PikesCore24]

Hi, I'm building a custom landmine using a standard bar. For this project, I was wondering if you could tell me where I can buy the needle bearings?

[@Doviruses.existbaileyonodysee]

So i train at home and occationally i have to pop out when i get stuck at tye bottom of a squat. The floor is concrete and the weights are basoc solid ones. my cheap barbell is bent possibly from this happening (and or close grip deads). Q: Would bearings get wrecked under those forces?

[@georgelawrence2775]

I like Olympic barbell

[@pkd.81]

I love lamp.

[@Timm129]

What is more durable? Which one can take more abuse?.

[@harrisonmerrick1256]

are these rotating sleeves a CrossFit thing?

[@protectork9831]

Do I need to oil the bushing

[@justplanefred]

How long would someone expect the bronze bushing to last doing stuff like crossfit?

[@oswelds]

Basicly forever. Oil empregnated bushings leak more oil when they heat up and they do last a long time in an actual machine setting. The load and spin a human can put on a bushing is very very marginal compared to industrial machines. Bushings do last longer than bearings also under heavy loads.

[@pkd.81]

What if I currently do the main compound lifts (BP/Squat/DL/OHP) but might want to get into Oly lifting in the future. Would you recommend just going for the Wonder Bearing bar vs the Bushing version? It's only a $28 difference.

[@FringeSportHQ]

I think you’d be good with either to be honest. Bushing can still do oly lifts if you’re just starting out. You won’t see the BIG advantages of bearing until you get into a more intermediate level.

[@RobDyrdek713]

What if the bar has neither

[@FringeSportHQ]

Axle bar?

[@RobDyrdek713]

@@FringeSportHQ what’s that?

[@RobDyrdek713]

@@FringeSportHQ just saw the one on your website, that’s not it. The one I have looks like a normal Olympic barbell, 2” removable sleeves, powerlifting style knurling, but the end caps are small plastic caps that can be pried open to reveal a hex bolt and a single washer, then to remove the sleeves they must be turned counter clockwise because they are threaded to the collars. Searched online but I haven’t found one that fits the script, not seeing any logos or branding on it doesn’t help either.
