“I got this bar yesterday, I PRd with it today (18 hours later)… I seriously love this bar.” — Franklin M., Verified Buyer
The B.o.S. Powerlifting Bar is built to IPF specs. Train exactly how you’d compete, without paying competition bar prices.
- IPF-spec knurl marks + center knurl → Dual powerlifting marks so your grip is always competition-legal. Center knurl bites into your back for low-bar squats. No slipping, no guessing.
- Aggressive knurling → As coarse as we could make it without tearing your hands up. Deadlifts stick. Squats lock in. That’s the whole point.
- Hardened chrome sleeves on bushings + snap rings → Smooth, consistent spin session after session. Built to stay that way.
- Two finishes, one bar → Bare Steel + Hard Chrome for that raw feel and natural chalk response. Black Cerakote for rust resistance and a clean all-black look.
- 3 time award winner → Garage Gym Reviews Best Budget Power Bar three years running (At some point it’s not budget, it’s just best.)
Why a Powerlifting Bar?
Because a general-purpose bar is a compromise — and your squat, bench, and deadlift deserve better.
- Train how you compete → IPF-spec dimensions mean the bar in your pain cave behaves exactly like the one on the platform. No adjustment period on meet day.
- Knurling that actually grips → Most bars sand the knurl down to protect beginners. This one doesn’t. If you want grip, you get grip.
- Stiffer shaft, more predictable lift → Less whip means less energy wasted managing bar movement. More goes into the lift.
- Pick your finish → Bare steel develops character over time and loves chalk. Cerakote stays clean and fights rust. Pick what fits your gym and your habits.
If squat, bench, and deadlift are your three favourite words, this is your bar.
