ZHANG KONG TRAINING BARBELL REVIEW

Today's video is a review of the ZhangKong men's 20kg training barbell.  The following are some key points about the barbell which require some mention:

- The barbell is made in China.
- The knurling is ultra-soft and is perfect when hampered with hand/callus issues.  I've never torn my hands on this barbell.
- The super soft knurling is a double edge sword.  Great on the hands but requires a considerable amount of chalk if you're prone to sweating a lot.
- This barbell is exceptionally whippy and flexible -- be prepared to make a new PR as the added flex helps.
- The sleeve ends do tend to chip after repeated dropping and through normal use.  Cosmetically, it's ugly but doesn't affect the barbell's performance.
- The spin is smooth with a slightly raw bearing sound, which is comparable to the DHS barbell.

Hope you enjoy the review.  Post up on either this blog or my YouTube channel if you have any questions or comments.
