Texas 2" Fat Axle Power Bar

Versatile and fun

We use it for so many lifts and it’s so much fun! Deadlift, clean and press, bench, Zerker squats, back squats… and discovering even more way to use it. We loaded a 100lb bag onto the bar at shin height and am using it as additional weight to train bag over bar. Worth the investment!

Amazing Bar. 10/10!!

I have over 10 barbells, and this is bar is by far one of my favorites. From benching, to pressing OHP, to barbell curls, squats, and deadlifts, this bar is absolutely amazing in every way. Doesn’t get better than this for axle bars! Axle bars are typically basic thick pipe bars that have fixed sleeves. TPB took the axle bar to the next level and made the best axle bar money can buy. Only thing I wish they had was a fully stainless steel version, but for cost reasons, I understand why they don’t have one. 10/10 recommend

Poor Quality Control

Knurling on the bar is nice and I like the 2" diameter of the shaft. The sleeves have poor tolerances, with play in them. They also spin worse than a cheap bar. While they charge a premium for shipping, the bar came with no protection other than a rigid tube. There was a small chip in the Cerakote, but I'm not worried about that because the bar is intended to be used... However, my biggest concern was the the metal shavings still left in the sleeves. Fortunately, I was able to clean most of that out because I could imagine that it wouldn't be fun to get in your eyes...
