I have large hands, talking XL or XXL gloves, and using other bars felt like shaking hands with a cat. This fat axle bar feels substantial.
The quality of the bar is undeniable. My lifts have benefited, and it just feels great.

Have black zinc squat and deadlift bars. Bright chrome power bar. All are fantastic. Own eleiko and rogue bars currently. The Texas bars have a course knurl which I prefer over the others.

Love it recommend it

Only used it once, and it has certainly made its performance gap between itself and a normal bar very very noticeable. It’s a must have for heavy squatters.

Love the bar! Never disappointed when using a Texas bars. Awesome quality and craftsmanship

Bar shipped immediately and had it in less than 5 days. Great bar, both looks and feel, can't wait to use it.

So impressed with first pair, had to buy second pair. Highly recommended . Excellent product! Thanks!

This bar has the right amount of knurling, the center knurling will be awesome for back squats. It also has the power rings and olympic rings marked. These bars are built for work and last a long time. Thanks for a great bar and BETTER customer service!

I’ve been lifting for over 20 years and have only used kit bars and whatever was at the gym. I recently decided to spoil myself by buying a nice bar. After seeing videos on YouTube of Buddy and his business I was set on getting a TPB. Since this would be my Swiss Army bar I chose the All American because it was marketed as the bar that does everything. It 100% does. The knurling is perfect, it still feels stiff enough to not create a ton of whip, and the workmanship is first class. If you are considering this bar, you will not be disappointed. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

just love it. if you don't have one, you are missing out a lot.

First off, let's call it as it is. This fucking barbell is incredible beyond measure. Its an absolute mother fucker of a beast and it's so fuckin perfect if you're looking to up your deadlift game. Day one with this precious fucker was brilliant and I'm beyond stoked to have such exceptional American craftsmanship at my disposal.

Starting strength bar, great looking bar with a perfect knurl. Well pleased. Thanks, JBW

The barbell is just great! Knurling suits perfect for me.

They work great and don't budge. Use them on my curl bar, trap bar, my strongman farmers carry logs. Just ordered another three sets.

Everything was great about the bar, just got it a couple days ago. But the bar definitely exceeds expectations. Awesome job packaging to make sure the bar arrived undamaged.
