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.

Great bar. Great customer service

I could never have a bar with another states flag. The texas power bar is a huge step up from my last bar and I am very happy with my purchase.

I love the bar, but the wait times...

I didnt realize how long the lead times were, I just wish it was stated more clearly how long it'd take to ship, I didn't think I'd have to wait nearly 3 months before it shipped, I love the bar its great and exactly as advertised and I appreciate the craftsman ship put into it. I just wish I knew ahead of time how long it'd take.

Beautiful Bar

The bar is awesome just like every other Texas bar I own. Great knurling, fantastic feel and quality

Delayed Shipping Times

Great product, but website says lead time of 7-14 days, took nearly 2 months before my order came

An American Tradition

Texas 'Original' Power Bar is all I have used for years and years. It's an American tradition. Just doesn't feel right lifting with any other barbell.
