Ideal for Benching & Squatting
The Original 2032 Power Bar is ideal for bench press and squats. The shaft has a diameter of 32mm and is therefore thicker than regular powerlifting barbells. The result is a more rigid bar shaft that also offers an increased bearing surface. Many athletes feel more comfortable during pressing exercises, such as the bench press, but also in the back for squats. The stiffer bar reduces slack/whip with increasing loads.
Here is why you should Deadlift with this bar, too
Test your grip strength. Even though this barbell has its strength in bench presses and squats, it should not stop you from doing deadlifts with this bar. The thicker handle combined with the reduced slack makes for a pretty good grip-strength workout.
Black shaft, chromed sleeves
Our original 2032 Power Bar comes with a black coated shaft, centre knurling and standard powerlifting markings at 81cm. The sleeves are 40cm long and 50mm in diameter, smoothed and chrome plated.
