Powerlifting Bar
Intended explicitly for powerlifting and to match IPF specs, the Powerlifting Bar is designed for people whose three favorite words are squat, bench, and deadlift. This is one of the best powerlifting bars you can get for the money. A bold claim, I know - but the Barenaked Powerlifting Bar won Garage Gym Reviews' Best Budget Power Bar in 2022 & 2023. Add it to your gym to hop on the gainz-train to Muscleville.

I had the luxury of upgrading to this from a standard off the shelf bar after using a proper bar at a local gym. The knurling is impressive, the weight is exactly as it should be, and it requires little maintenance. I have the bare steel and it's worth acknowledging some patina but that's because I am in an unfinished basement. Considering its been nearly 5 years though, it's not as bad as I would expect.

It’s an ok power bar. It has bolts to tighten the sleeves, so that’s the level of quality you’re getting. It used to be cheaper which made it more desirable.

I got this bar when it was $200, and it was a fantastic buy at that price. It has an aggressive knurl, so squatting is great as it will not slide (low bar). I am not a huge fan of it for deadlifting, but maybe that's because I use a hook grip. For the current price, I'd probably look at something from Rep Fitness or other companies around that quality.

At one time this bar was one of the best value powerlifting bars on the market. It was comp spec, aggressively knurled, and could be had for around $200. These days the price has crept up and it makes better built bars a lot closer in price/value.
