Squat, Bench & Deadlift - Competition Style
Optimised for powerlifting, the 29mm shaft diameter offers a comfortable grip with enhanced stability during heavy lifts. The nickel-plating not only protects the bar from wear but also minimises maintenance, making it a long-lasting addition to any gym With a shaft diameter of 29cm and a medium sharp knurling, it provides a good grippy feeling and the centre knurling securely sets in the neck/back area during squats. The Barbell comes with 81cm grip marking, as is common in powerlifting.
Eines der Herzstücke in meinem Homegym, in der Stainless Steel Variante eine absolute geniale Griffigkeit, bzw. eine perfekte Rändelung. Die Powerpar macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck, die Gewichtaufnahmen haben kein Spiel. Eine Große Freude jedesmal mit dieser Powerbar trainieren zu können. Dazu ein sehr fairer Preis für eine Stainless Steel Powerbar... Klare Empfehlung
I've only used commerical bars for a while and this is an absolute gamechanger for deadlifts. Knurling is verry sharp, even after 5 months of heavy usage the grip is verry nice on this bar. It is also verry stif, what makes it ideal to practice the big 3!
The knurling is perfection: not too sharp, but super grippy. I’m starting to wish that everything in my house was knurled like this bar. Knurled doorknobs. Knurled toilet handle. Knurled silverware. Knurled refrigerator handle. Knurled coffee pot. Knurled car door handle. Knurled cups. Knurl it all! Oh yeah, the rest of the bar seems solid too.
Great bar. I leave it at the gym tight next to a friends ohio power bar. They look pretty close but I personally think mine looks a little nicer with the nickel and the bands around the collars. The knurling is more aggressive than the ohio bar both work well so its personal preference.
It is my first olympic barbell, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I love the knurl. Have used it only for flat bench press and deadlift, so I do not have a lot to say about the spin.

Strength Shop Power Bar is quality.
Decided to upgrade and replace my old bar that had a smaller diameter. This one is 29mm and perfect. Great feel with knurling deep but not too deep that rips your skin. No chalk required for heavy deads or rows.
Prompt delivery without issues and very well packaged.
Thank you
And the knurling is quite aggressive indeed. Pro tip: If you're going to bench and you might end up going to failure, wear a shirt. Doing the roll of shame with this aggressive of a knurling turned the middle of my chest down to my belly button into grated cheese. Ouch.

I would highly recommend this Power Bar, the knurling just seems right and the bar is stiff and feels good when bench pressing. The IPF markings are clear and the 29mm thickness makes it comfortable in hand.
