Created by Buddy Capps in January 1986. Designed to handle really big squats with the least amount of flex. With the inside collar measurement at 57.5” The Texas Squat Bar allows the biggest of lifters room to set up and find the right hand placement. Buddy updated the knurl pattern at the end of 2017 adding more knurl to grab your traps and real delts. (This changed the center knurl to 6” with 2” smooth on either side and then knurled to the hand space ring).
The Goal was 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.
