With a 29mm diameter, this power bar adheres to International Powerlifting Federation standards.

This barbell is available in three styles: full stainless steel, stainless steel shaft with hard chrome sleeves, and black Cerakote shaft with Duracoat™ sleeves.

Duracoat™ is a chemical treatment that hardens the exterior of the steel, offering higher abrasion resistance than other finishes while providing a high level of corrosion resistance. The ends of the bar feature premium metal end caps, setting this powerlifting barbell apart from the rest. If you are looking for a powerlifting bar with even more aggressive knurling, we recommend the Double Black Diamond Power Bar.
