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).
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 Texas Squat Bar is excellent quality, but that has been the case with every Buddy Capps product I have used.
Texas Squat Bar Cerakote
This bar is awesome. It has an aggressive knurling, the sleeves are nice and smooth. And the green is like a subtle olive green.
I own most of the collection: 2 TPB Cerakote, Squat Bar Cerakote, and DL Cerakote. I am extremely proud to own and lift with each and every one of these bars. The perform incredibly and are extremely low maintenance. As a bonus they’re absolutely gorgeous, affordable and even ship quickly. Thank you guys!!!
Great bar, very nice texture for a nice grip.
