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.

Frequently Asked Questions
It has a 29mm diameter and 2,200mm/86.6″ length.
It weighs 20kg/44lbs.
It has a bare steel shaft for a superior feel, with hardened chrome sleeves.
Yes, regular 2-inch collars and Olympic weight plates will fit this bar.
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.

Everything you want in a powerlifting bar. Came for the price, stayed for the knurling. Garage gym reviews sent me here.

I led this up on a flash sale as I wanted a second power bar. The knurling is great if you like aggressive knurling. Super grippy and deadlifts feel awesome. Shipping was quick. The tube the bar came in had some tears and was pulled apart when my bar arrived. Despite this there was no issues to the bar. Both ends were supported by packaging and the shaft had oil on it and wrapped in plastic wrap. No issues of rust on the bar.

Have wanted a second bar for my home gym for a while. Saw there was a flash sale and this bar was on sale. Shipping was quick. The cardboard tube was broken but there was no damage to the bar. Bar was packaged well with packaging on the ends of the bar. The knurling had a good amount of oil and wrapped in plastic wrap. No signs of rust on the bar. Knurling on the bar is great and so are the sleeves. I have started to use this bar as my primary powerlifting bar and would highly recommend.
