Texas Squat Bar

You’ll feel the difference the moment you unrack this bar. The Texas Squat Bar was purpose-built with one movement in mind: heavy squats. Featuring our stiffest 31.75mm diameter shaft and made from 190K PSI tensile strength steel, this 55lb / 25kg barbell is engineered to deliver maximum stability, stiffness, and virtually zero whip. **USPA & IPL Approved**

Proven Under Pressure

From 800-pound openers to 1,200-pound world records, the Texas Squat Bar has been under the backs of the strongest lifters on the planet. When the bar stays rigid, your position stays locked, and your only focus is on the lift—that’s when you know you have the right tool.

Handbuilt in Texas since 1980 and carrying the legendary stamp of approval from founder and former powerlifter Buddy Capps, this bar is trusted on the world’s biggest platforms by the strongest lifters alive. Backed by industry-leading warranties and approved for competition by the USPA & IPL, it’s no coincidence this bar has been used to set the heaviest squat records in history.
