“I have used this bar's direct competitors such as the Ohio Power bar, the Texas power bar, and the Kabuki Strength power bar. I would say this bar falls in the same category as these barbells. The knurling is extremely aggressive, and the slightly smaller diameter makes deadlifting much easier. The only drawback is the lack of thickness for squats and bench press. Would 100% recommend, but the Ohio power bar is a close contender.”
“Nice aggressive knurling, looks like a Texas power bar, feels like one in the hands, but stiffer and better for squats and bench. Plus the coating will keep it from rusting if you keep it in your garage. If you are on the fence and it's a deal, just pull the trigger on it. You won't be disappointed.”
“I use the bar for every lift. Its is very similar to the Ohio Power Bar and the Texas Power Bar. Good consistent spin. I love the knurling! Really glad I bought the bar!”
