Texas Power Bar PRO

Awesome Bare Steel Bar

I ordered the texas pro 29mm with bare steel shaft and the chrome sleeves. The shaft has the most aggressive grip I have ever felt on a bar. Like seriously, I don't think I will be losing any lifts due to grip. I was using a chrome cheapo olympic bar for a couple of years and have had to develop more grip strength because I used to not even be able to hold it at 315 lbs. The knurling was smooth and the bar would just roll out of my hands. Fast forward and I was deadlifting 440 with that old bar but barely hanging on. I just did 460 easy with this baby. It's almost too grippy but that is okay. On bench it feels solid, it is going to take some getting used to because it won't roll at all in the hand unless you make it so position is crucial. On squat it somehow doesn't even feel like there is anything on my back. I don't know how else to explain it. I should have bought this years ago. It arrived in 2 days from across the country. The machining is flawless. I could not be happier with the bar.

Texas > Ohio

After years of using Ohio Power bars, I wanted something with more bite in the knurling. This is it and then some. Want smoother collars? It’s here. I’ll be keeping this bar for years. Now to go load up some weightZ

Best bar ever and worth every penny!

Since I began, Powerlifting, Texas power bars are the gold standard for what we use. My new gym did not have one so I took matters into my own hands, and not only am I happy, but other members to get to use it and they cannot believe what a difference a solid bar makes.
