Stainless Steel IPF Power Lifting Chewy Bar

One and done: The quintessential daily driver power bar.

Probably the nicest barbell I own. I have the homegymcord discord one with 20 TPI and Mountain Knurl, I was told there were less than 80 of those made, not sure how true that is. The knurl is very aggressive and the bar is extremely quiet in use. I got an insane deal on FMBP on this and got it for $400, however I drove 2 hours in the wrong direction because I got the address wrong so it took me like 6 hours to get this bar when they were only maybe 45 minutes from my house...gosh I am an idiot.

Certainly the nicest piece of equipment in my entire gym. Very high quality fit and finish: the bar thuds instead of rattles when dropped. The knurling terminations are very precise and my Home Gym Discord run of knurling is extremely grippy without being too sharp. The stainless finish is flawless. If you want the best of the best, this might be that barbell. But like most high quality items, this is a case of diminishing returns.

American Barbell makes some of the highest quality barbells in the world. Their attention to detail and build quality is second to none. Their big knock has always been passive knurling, but the Chewy looks to rectify that. You'll find there are several versions of this bar out there. These versions relate to the knurled density (TPI) and shape. The normal retail version tends to be a 20 TPI volcano knurl, which is very good, but it's not Texas Power Bar aggressive. There was a small run of 20 TPI Mountain which has a lot more bite. Lastly there is a 25 TPI Volcano which was a Home Gym Discord special. It was similar to the legendary Kabuki Power Bar knurl, but much better build quality. Great bar overall, but the high price tag is a huge turn off.

No doubt one of the nicest power bars that we have at Massenomics Gym. All the details seem pretty spot on. The only real downside to this bar is the price (very expensive).
