“Superb bar”

“My gym got this bar and ever since I used it for deadlifting I wanted it. The knurling is not messing around on this bar. If you don’t like aggressive knurling you’re going to struggle with this bar. Personally I love it and achieve the best grip I’ve ever felt on any barbell. Build quality is top notch.”

“Just got the Absolute black oxide power bar. Shipping was good, came in a few days, I think 3. It was packaged better than other bars I’ve gotten, it had foam around the shaft, collars, and sleeve ends. There were some scratches and scuffs that were clearly there before shipping though, I wasn’t super happy about that. The bar itself is very nice. The sleeves have a unique rubbed pattern on, I believe, a matte chrome coating. The collars are also unique, with Vulcan lasered on, which is very nice looking. The shafts is a black oxide coating, which is obviously very thin, which gives the knurl a great feel, but isn’t very oxidation resistant. I’m not sure if it was rust, but there was some brown buildup on the shaft last night, maybe 2 weeks after I got the bar. It might’ve been caused by sweat or humidity. Wipes off easily with 3in1 oil. The knurl is perfect for what I want. Very grippy fine mountain knurl without beefing sharp or aggressive, and passive knurl in the center, which I like a lot because I front squat. It wouldn’t be great for gripping your back during back squats though. The sleeves have a little lateral movement to them, so not as tight of a tolerance as I’d like, but nothing unusual, similar to other bars. Overall, good bar, I just don’t love having a coated bar. I’d love to get this exact bar in stainless steel.”

“The power bar is extremely stiff so I love it for my SBD days. The knurling is very aggressive but I like it. It far outshines a rogue or texas power bar imo. The coaches in the gym love the bar for benching and squatting as well. It is definitely worth it.”

“Simply an awesome bar. Grip/knurling is perfect. Looks amazing with the black and silver. Great construction. The packaging was incredible - no way it could have been damaged without somebody purposely going out of their way to do so and even that would require tremendous effort. Ecstatic about this purchase. Looking forward to using this bar for years and years.”
