This is a great everyday, multi use barbell if you do Olympic lifts. It has both the Olympic and powerlifting rings. It spins well for cleans and snatches. It has no center knurling but I have still used it for squats. If I was only a powerlifter I would not use this bar. For general strength training, CrossFit or someone doing Olympic lift variations this is a good purchase. It is less expensive than many bars but will hold up to heavy use. The knurling is good, not extremely aggressive like power bars. I use this for deadlifts at times and it works well. The grip is never an issue.
