Description
What Is A Closeout or Blem Bar
Our Closeout and Blem Bars are fully functional, competition-quality barbells that didn’t quite meet our strict cosmetic standards. While these bars may have minor visual imperfections, they deliver the same legendary performance and durability that made Texas Power Bars famous. If you’re looking for a training bar, backup bar, or a discounted option, this is your chance to own an authentic Texas barbell at a lower price point. *Closeout & Blem Texas Barbells Come In Randomized Finishes (Bare, Chrome, Zinc, etc.)
The Value
Lower Price Point – get a Texas barbell at a discounted rate.
Training / Backup Bar – great option for practice, gyms needing extra bars, or lifters who don’t mind cosmetic flaws and for those looking to save their new bars for competition use only.
Legendary Performance – despite minor imperfections, each bar is still a genuine Texas Power Bars product ready to be put to work.
The Trade-Offs
Plating Issues – minor finish flaws or discoloration.
Scratches, Dings, or Nicks – typically on the sleeves or shaft surface.
Knurling Variations – irregular patterns, double knurling, or slight differences in aggressiveness.
Alignment Irregularities – misaligned start/stop points in the knurl.
Random Finishes – no ability to choose the barbells finish (Bare, Chrome, Zinc).
Important Info
Sold As Is – all sales final, no warranty coverage.
No Refunds, Returns, or Exchanges – discounted due to cosmetic conditions.
Availability Varies – stock and imperfections differ from bar to bar.
Please Note – Product condition and availability vary. If cosmetic appearance and peace of mind are important to you, we recommend purchasing a new bar.
