History

The Starting Strength bar lineup was designed in 2018 by Buddy Capps and Texas Power Bars at the request of Mark Rippetoe for Starting Strength Gyms. These bars are bare steel all the way, a comfortable 28.5 mm* in diameter with the best knurl in the industry. The collars on the SS bars were redesigned with a bigger (3.25”) **diameter, shorter overall length, which also increases the plate space. The collars and sleeves are machined to a near smooth finish. The shafts have a center knurl (20 kg only) and dual ring marks. The 3-bar lineup includes a 20 kg, a 15 kg, and 10 kg option for all ages and strength levels. A natural steel bar that will age gracefully with your gym, The Starting Strength Bar will be your favorite piece of equipment for decades.
*15kg & 10kg are 25mm

Raw shaft w/ sleeves only.

When I started lifting weights with Olympic bars back in the 1960’s, I noticed 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 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.

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.

Starting Strength 10kg

Bought this for use as a technique bar. We love it. It is as fantastic as our other TPB's. The feel and quality are perfect. That's why we will keep buying only TPB.

Thanks Buddy - thanks Rip

Expectations Exceeded.

I ordered the SS 10KG bar for my 11 yr old son to begin training with. We wanted something that would fit in my power rack. I couldn’t be happier. This bar is built with the same craftsmanship you expect from a Texas Power Bar. My son is so proud of his bar and to add it to the bar rack in our garage gym. I have two other younger boys and I know this bar will last long enough for all of them to use when they come of age and are ready to train with the family. I highly recommend this bar.

Good first purchase

I’m not familiar with “Bars” in general, but this will fill the bill to get me started, for sure. Comfortable and effective knurling, appears to be a quality piece,
