OVERVIEW
Designed with everyday powerlifting use in mind, this fully stainless-steel barbell offers medium-depth knurling for the ultimate in performance and feel. The Stainless Steel Power Bar’s medium-depth knurl provides excellent grip, but it’s less aggressive on your hands than a deep-knurl bar. This power bar is end-to-end stainless steel, on both the uncoated shaft and the sleeves. Stainless steel is more resistant to rust than zinc or chrome-coated sleeves.
The Stainless Steel Power Bar also has center knurling to keep the barbell in place on your back during squats. International Powerlifting Federation standard knurl markings (32” between marks) provide visuals for even hand placement on the barbell. This bar features a bushing design with snap rings, ideal for slower, strength-focused lifts. The smooth, steel sleeves make it easy to slide iron plates on and off the bar. This bar is tough, with a static rating of 1,500lbs, and it comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

FAQS
-
Are your barbells compatible with other branded plates?
REP’s barbells are designed to work with any standard plates featuring 2” diameter center holes.
-
What is the difference between chrome or zinc finish and a full stainless steel barbell?
Stainless steel is a higher grade of metal. It is more resistant to rust than chrome or zinc finish barbells and more aesthetically pleasing.
-
What is the purpose of the knurl markings on a barbell?
There are two major standards for where to put knurl markings on a barbell: designed by the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) and the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The knurl markings themselves allow for athletes to set up properly for the lift they are attempting and provide a visual for even hand placement on the barbell.
-
Which barbell is best suited for me?
This will depend on the type of training you do and your training goals. The Stainless Steel Power Bar was specifically designed for powerlifters, although it’s useful for all kinds of other lifters, too. If you are not sure how to decide on a barbell, email us at info@repfitness.com and one of our customer service representatives will help match you and your training style with a barbell.
-
What is the difference between bushing and bearing sleeves?
Both bushing and bearing sleeves produce sufficient sleeve rotation, but ball or needle bearings allow for a faster, smoother, quieter spin and have a more reliable turnover for maximum loads, which is a better fit for Olympic-style lifts. By comparison, a bushing sleeve (like the Stainless Steel Power Bar) is more efficient for powerlifting movements, which are slower and more strength focused.
-
How do I take care of my barbell?
You’ll want to remove dirt or chalk from the knurling with a brush and oil on a microfiber cloth. You also should occasionally remove the external sleeve to oil and fully clean it. Check out the REP Barbell Maintenance Video in the Video Gallery section above for more information.
-
Does the Stainless Steel Power Bar have a warranty?
Yes, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
