Phenomenal whip & aggressive knurling

The Kabuki Bar design started with the competition specifications and from there on it was reverse-engineered, with material selection and geometry to maximize the amount of flex in the bar before it leaves the ground, while balancing the whip or oscillation of the bar. The Kabuki PR Deadlift Bar should enhance anyones pulling power immediately, but there is a learning period to maximize the results just like going from a power bar to a regular deadlift bar.

Key benefits

  • Helps you lift more through better positioning
  • Knurling design engineered to be sticky and enhance neurological output 
  • Safer deadlifts through a ramping of load vs. instant pulse as well as improved hip position

What’s the maximum load for the PR Deadlift Bar?

This type of barbell can not only handle individual PRs, but matter of fact, the current World Record Deadlift of 487.5kg by Danny Grigsby was made with this bar. In total, the bar is rated to 544kg.

Barbell perfection!

A deadlift bar is a totally different lifting experience. Once tried, there is no turning back to the stiff power bar.

The main advantage of a deadlift bar is its thin shaft which, combined with the aggressive knurling, ensures that the bar never slips out of hands during heavy pulls. It just feels great to deadlift with a thin shaft. Remember that since diameter is related to circumferance by Pi, the 27 mm shaft means a 6 mm difference in circumferance between a 29 mm power bar and a 27 mm deadlift bar!

The Kabuki PR deadlift bar is an amazing improvement over the classic (34 years old) Texas deadlift bar in that it is more whippy. With other deadlift bars the shaft desn't start to bend until about 200 kg, which is for advanced lifters. Kabuki PR deadlift bar lets even beginners take advantage of the great bar flex. Actually, the barbell has proven to be so innovative that there is some talk on YouTube like "Is the Kabuki PR deadlift bar CHEATING?" or "Should the Kabuki Deadlift Bar be BANNED from powerlifting?"

Kabuki is the most innovative fitness company in the world with Chris Duffin - the mad scientist - a real proof to the company's non-linear thinking.

Perfect deadlift bar

In my eyes this might be the best whippy and aggressive deadlift bar on the market. At 2,42m with big collars the weights are as far out from the middle as possible, resulting in great whip. The 27mm shaft has insane knurling on it, it’s really sharp so grip is never an issue. I pull conventional and as such I don’t really get shin skintears because there is no center knurl, but someone who pulls sumo might get their shins torn apart if deadlifting without socks. Definitely a purchase worth making if you want the best deadlift bar in my opinion.
