Discover the Power Bar ideal for strength training and powerlifting competitions. This bar is designed to offer the rigidity, grip and quality sought by top-level athletes, at an affordable price.
Features of the Power Bar for Powerlifting
- Extreme rigidity: With a resistance of 210,000 PSI, this 29 mm-diameter bar ensures maximum stability for heavy squats without flexion or parasitic movement.
- Aggressive grip: The deep, aggressive knurling ensures a perfect grip for pulling exercises, essential for a solid grip on the deadlift. Knurling is the key element of an athletic strength bar. A bar that slips on your back or in your hands can mean the difference between a successful lift or a failure. Many bars in this price range use the terms 'powerlifting bar' or 'athletic strength bar', but settle for superficial/passive knurling, a far cry from the requirements of serious athletes.
Choice of finishes:
-
- Bare Steel: Better grip, but requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion.
- Black Oxyde: Good compromise between durability and grip, with slight resistance to corrosion.
- Black Cerakote: Offers excellent protection against rust while maintaining effective knurling.
Ergonomic design and competitive performance
The Power Bar CS is manufactured to IPF standard specifications. The narrow Olympic sleeves ensure the bar's rigidity, bringing the weight closer to the centre of gravity.
Maintenance tips to preserve the bar
To ensure the longevity of the strength bar, maintenance is recommended. Clean the bar regularly with a nylon brush and apply oil to prevent oxidation, particularly on uncoated finishes such as raw steel.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, this power bar for athletic strength allows you to practice in near-competitive conditions without sacrificing quality.
