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.

The "Original" Texas Power Bar

Perfect knurling

Before ordering I was a little concerned the knurling would to aggressive. Even the wife and kids don't mind it.

Original Texas Power Bar

The "Original" Texas Power Bar is second to none! Our lighter lifters use it to squat and we all use it to bench. Deep knurling ensures a tight grip for both lifts, and all the kids love the bar!

3rd Bar I’ve Purchased From TPB

This is a fantastic general purpose bar and bench press bar. I own 14 barbells but this one has become a staple in my training. I find the knurl to be perfect for benching, rowing etc.

Great Bar

Outstanding, quality, knurl, and price.
