The Basic Power Bar is an IPF Spec, dedicated power lifting bar. Perfect for the strong lifts and all slow movements. The sleeves were designed with extra loading space to allow for heavier dead lifts and squats when using with bumper plates. Center knurling allows for extra grip when squatting and the 29mm shaft allows for a stiffer feel than weightlifting or cross-training bars. This is great for people who bench or squat "heavy" who want more rigidity in their bar. The Basic Power Bar is made out of a lower tensile strength steel than our other Power Bars (Max Power Bar and Texas Power Bar), which allows for a more affordable price. As a general rule of thumb, when looking at "weight capacity" we recommend getting a bar that can handle double that of your heaviest lift. This is because most bars are damaged from heavy racking, dropping or missed lifts and not from the actual lift itself. If you are an ogre that lifts past the 750lb mark. Step up to the MAX power bar. If not, this bar is all you will ever need.
