The B.o.S. Powerlifting Bar is the best Powerlifting bar you can get for under $200. A bold claim, I know, so here’s why having this bar in your gym will put you on a gainz train to muscleville.

The Specs
Intended explicitly for powerlifting and to meet IPF specs, it is designed for people who’s three favorite words are bench, squat and deadlift.

An aggressive knurl with a bare steel finish gives you a superior grip and will prepare and callous your hands for meet day.

With a 210K PSI tensile strength, 1,500lb weight capacity and snap ring design, the Barenaked powerlifting bar is tough enough for both novice and world-class powerlifters

A thinner block allows for more plates to be loaded onto the bar and less whip, while the ribbed shaft helps prevent plates from shifting while lifting.

A powerlifting barbell differs from an Olympic weightlifting barbell in that it is more rigid to better accommodate the heavier weights. Our power bar is 1mm thicker than the Olympic weightlifting bar and has slightly different markings on the bar. Power bars do not have needle bearing and instead have brass bushing as they don’t really need for the sleeves to spin so freely as they do on Olympic bars.

Please note: being bare steel barbell we take extra precautions to reduce any small oxidization while in storage/transit by coating the barbell in oil. Even still, tiny spots may be visible when receiving. We advise to clean the bar with a microfiber cloth and some simple green cleaner and remove any spots with a BBQ brush.
