Product Information

Earlier this year (2023), Rep discontinued all of their barbells and introduced a completely new lineup of bars ( we built you a handy guide to all the Rep bars you can read here).

So just because someone advertises their bars as having “the highest tensile strength on the market”, that doesn’t mean those bars are good. This is where “sleeve play” comes in. If you go up to a cheap barbell and try to wiggle the sleeve, you’ll notice it has a ton of play in it. It will move side to side and sometimes even rattle up and down. The more play there is, the more unwanted movement and wear. At a passing glance, Olympic barbells and powerlifting barbells can look largely similar to the standard barbells we've mentioned above. However, Olympic barbells are around seven foot in length and powerlifting barbells feature a slightly short length at five to six feet, with a higher tensile rating for heavier lifts. Similarly, there will typically be more knurling to help you shift tin more safely during your barbell workout. Trap Bars and Hex Barbells I trained with these bars as my primary barbells for almost 3 years. The SS Power Bar V2 was GymCrafter’s number one barbell recommendation for years. It’s still the barbell I recommend the most when cost is a consideration.That’s why we always test every product ourselves, usually for at least 6 months, in our own home gyms before we ever review or recommend anything. I can’t tell you how many times that real-world use doesn’t agree with the specs! This bar is 20kg (44.1lbs) with a 29mm diameter shaft, which also complies with IPF standards. Medium-depth, volcano-style knurling helps enhance your grip on the barbell for heavy lifts, but it won’t tear up your hands during higher-rep workouts. With slower-rotating, strength-focused brass bushing sleeves, the Delta bar is perfect for powerlifting. But dual knurl markings (both International Powerlifting Federation and International Weightlifting Federation) make the bar versatile enough for whatever kind of lifting you’re doing.

Home strength-training equipment is having a moment. Devoted gym-goers have settled into at-home workout routines as the pandemic continues, and items like adjustable dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands—after gaining unprecedented popularity and, as a result, suffering from widespread shortages—have remained hot commodities. Add a brand-new piece of equipment to the in-demand list: Bowflex’s SelectTech 2080 Barbell with Curl Bar, which debuted in June 2020 and, according to a company representative, sold out in about 24 hours. The American Barbell Chewy bar really is the best barbell I’ve ever used. It’s been my main bar for the last 6-7 months and every time I use it, I’m more than happy I spent the money. The bar is topped off with premium metal endcaps with unique designs. This is a powerlifting barbell that stands out from the rest. Someone who prefers a more modular design can add additional pieces of equipment, like a lat pulldown or cable pulley system.

The Rep Delta bar is the lowest-price bar I’d recommend buying. And in this price range, it stands out. Most bars at this price have terrible knurl, bar spin, and finish. The Delta delivers in all 3 of those areas.

Why power bars and not Olympic lifting bars? I wrote an entire article about that, but the short version is that most folks shouldn’t be doing Olympic lifting movements at home, alone, without a spotter. All home gyms should start with a power bar and go from there. Once you've found the perfect barbell for you, make sure you choose an appropriate weight load, says Delgado. You don't want to go too heavy and risk injury. "Start light with good form and increase over time. If the load compromises your form, decrease the load. Remember it's always form over load and reps." If you need help figuring out proper form, seek help from a trainer. Since I’ve never gone for any “premium” options in my garage gym, I decided to treat myself. (I’ve always opted for the least expensive thing that was well-made and fit my needs) This heavy-duty bar is constructed with an American-made stainless-steel shaft that has been precision machined with a 20 Teeth Per Inch (TPI) aggressive knurl. The sleeves are hard chrome plated and machined to our smooth and jewelry-like precision standards.That said, you're going to want to spend your hard-earned cash on a barbell that's *actually* high quality. Wondering what that might look like? "The barbell should match your strength needs, should be strong enough to resist bending, and have a finish that will last and won't rust over time." Then, you should decide whether you're looking for a standard barbell or an Olympic one. FYI: If you're used to lifting a barbell at the gym, it's most likely an Olympic one.)
