19.5” Sleeves

25 kg 55lbs

57.5” inside collars

32” hand space ring

190k tensile strength

Center knurl

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).

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.

Beautiful bar.Knurl is perfect Bar stays where you put it.If you get one ....you are gonna love yours too

Best bar for many reasons

For squats it is super comfortable if you have shoulder issues, even if you don’t the extra length allows for easy walk out.
I also use it for deadlifts, I like it is thicker and doesn’t bend making it more challenging. It also has the longest sleeves I have found so you can load +500 of bumper plates, even more if you mix them with iron ones. That way my wife doesn’t bother me because the house is shaking.
The knurling is aggressive, I like that.
I look at it and I think “this thing is a piece of art”. It is really beautiful, you’ll want to use it.

Excellent Bar

Squat bar has excellent balance and feel. The larger bar diameter is immediately noticeable and feels very comfortable on the back. The knurling is wicked grippy, and once you have the load, it doesn’t move around. The longer bar length is really nice when walking back to re-rack. I got the bare steel model, and it has a wonderful feel to it. The sleeves are really slick (I use Rogue HG bumpers), so I do use collars, which doesn’t bother me.
Overall this squat bar is solid and of excellent quality and value.

Nice bar

Shipping was fast. Product is quality. Would purchase again.
