“I love the aggressive knurling on this bar and its dead stiffness, only complaint is that it arrived rusty and for the price and short warranty this can be a lemon if you don't receive a clean bar and care for it diligently.”
“Great Bar for the price! Went with this bar over the Ohio power bar because the shaft is slightly smaller in diameter. For me it’s an easier grip for the deadlift. Also great for squat and bench! The only con I could find was black finish was a little dull in color in some spots. No big deal though. The knurling is aggressive which I like! It sticks on your back and stays in your hands!!
Great Bar!!”
“This is a great bar, it feels good in the hands and across the shoulders. The knurling allows for a good trip without having to squeeze until your knuckles turn white. I highly recommend this bar.”
“My barbell arrived securely packaged and undamaged. I was glad to find the sleeves are ribbed, not smooth. The sleeves are secured to the shaft with Spirolox® retaining rings (or similar) instead of stamped snap rings. The loadable sleeve length is only 15 1/2 inches, slightly less than advertised. The sleeve spin isn't enough to make you dizzy, but it's more than good enough for powerlifting movements. The shaft diameter measures 28.5mm and the raised-diamond knurling is satisfyingly aggressive and feels great. My bar does have a few cosmetic flaws (minor imperfections in the shaft coating and knurling), but nothing that'll affect the functionality. If I needed a power bar, I would definitely buy Titan's Blues City Power Bar again.”
