IMPORTANT: For bare steel barbells, we take extra precautions to reduce any oxidation/rusting while in storage and transit by coating the barbell in oil. That said, small rust spots may be visible when you receive it. We advise cleaning the bar with some simple green cleaner and a BBQ brush, then wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.

Power bars are the most relevant to powerlifters. Our Bells of Steel powerlifting barbells are designed to have relatively no whip. They are stiffer or more rigid in order to accommodate heavier lifts. These don’t require sleeves to spin freely so they have bushings that are generally used for slower lifts.
You can get our Bells Of Steel Barenaked Powerbar and our best-selling Onyx Powerlifting Cerakote Bar for just $300.
Barbells are the best tool to train for strength, power, and muscular size. Barbells are the most ergonomically-friendly load-handling tool in existence. Their flexible nature allows you to target a full range of motion for all your major leverage systems; these small increases result in amazing gains in size and strength.
A powerlifting barbell is more rigid to better accommodate heavier weights. It also tends to be thicker (usually 1mm thicker) than an Olympic weightlifting bar, with slightly different markings on it. Powerlifting bars do not have needle bearings and instead have brass bushings, as they don’t need the sleeves to spin so freely as they do on Olympic bars.
In the box, you’ll find the barbell itself and a generous coating of oil in order to minimize oxidation during shipping.
Covered under our Limited Lifetime Warranty guarantees that your bar will not bend under normal use, and protects against defects in material, function and workmanship.
Tensile strength measures the strength of the barbell and its ability to withstand bending and still return to a straight level after a heavy weight. It is rated in pounds per square inch (PSI), which is the amount of weight needed to pull the bar apart.
Typically, power bars all follow a similar design. Our Bells of Steel powerlifting bars’ length is 2200 millimetres (86.6 inches) and 29 millimetres (1.1 in) in diameter. We follow the International Powerlifting Federation requirements using strictly the same kind of bar on all lifts.
Both barbells and dumbbells are perfectly ideal for gaining size and strength. However, they aren’t quite the same thing. Barbells allow you to progressively overload more effectively and are typically better for your heavy lifts. Dumbbells are better for accessory lifts, endurance-style training, and muscle building.
Our very own Bells of Steel Barenaked Powerbar is made of bare steel with a hardened chrome sleeve finish while our powerlifting Onyx Powerlifting Bar takes it to the next level as it upgrades with a Cerakote shaft and sleeves finish. Bells of Steel produces top-quality barbells that will last a lifetime in your home or commercial gym.
