The Texas Bench Bar was created for the big bench pressers. This bar will stay straight with big weight on it without feeling too big in your hands. The least amount of flex equals the shortest distance of travel from top of lift, to chest and back again. The Texas Bench Bar is the standard bench bar in the APC. This model is coated with a Cerakote Shaft in your choice of color, with Chrome Sleeves.
When I started lifting weights with Olympic bars back in the 1960’s, Inoticed that there was hardly any grip.The knurling on these bars was so light when the bars were new, that now years later they were almost slick.The sleeves were held on to the bar with a threaded end cap and the inside collars were held in place with a set screw.Each sleeve consisted of three pieces.
The Goalwas to create a bar that would have and keep a better knurled grip.A bar, whose sleeves wouldn’t slide in to the center.A maintenance free bar.
The Result - The Texas Power Bar
Proudly Made in the USA Since 1980.The shafts are center less ground, demagnetized and oiled to the max before shipping to Texas.Once at our production facility, we machine and then knurl each shaft to create a grip that is still the best in the industry.Texas Power Bars have different finishes available including black zinc and chrome plating.The sleeves are are available raw or chrome plated.
Big tensile strength numbers sound very impressive and we have them but, the proof is on the platform.Hundreds of state, national, international and world powerlifting records have been and continue to be set and broken on the The Texas Power Bar.

Amazing ordering process
I think too many companies have become complacent and forgot how important customer service and efficient shipping is. These guys have it down. Ordered and shipped in the same day. I already know it’s a quality product and I am so impressed and happy I will have it well before the other things I ordered from a different company. Great job Texas Bars!!

Texas Bench Bar Review
My son and I love the Cerakote bench bar. We have Kabuki bars and an Eliko bar and this is by far the best knurling we have ever experienced. The ordering process was very efficient. we received our Texas power bar within two days. We ordered some items from Rogue and Rep Fitness the same day and the Texas power bar order came almost a week earlier than the other companies . Outstanding!

Deadlift Bar and Bench bar
I ordered a Bare Steel Deadlift bar, and a Cerakote Bench bar. Both arrived within a week of purchase in perfect condition. Loving both bars, TPB Knurling is awesome! I’m eyeing that monster squat bar.
