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.

Love it!
Made it to NZ super fast and am so pleased to be training with a bar of this quality. Knurling is great, bar whip is such a different feeling to a stiff bar but I'm loving the process of learning it. Thank you so much for producing such a high quality deadlift bar!
