Description
Raising the bar. These barbells were over 10 years in the making – the fusion of customer insights, rigorous testing, thousands of reps by different types of athletes, and our decades of experience in both lifting and designing quality, innovative gym equipment. That’s how REP know these will be the best barbells you’ll ever put your hands on.
The Badlands Bar is a great powerlifting barbell for lifters who want a bar for all three powerlifting lifts. It features aggressive, mountain-style knurling to provide maximum grip support for heavy deadlifts, although the bar can also be used for bench press, and its center knurling helps keep it in place during squats.
The knurling ends 13.97cm (5.5in) before the sleeve collars for easier barbell adjustments in the J-cups. International Powerlifting Federation-standard knurl markings help with proper hand placement. The Steel Badlands bar is offered in two different options: with a black chrome shaft with nickel sleeves, or a nickel shaft and sleeves. Both offer excellent wear and corrosion resistance. Black chrome is considered a premium, industrial-grade finish with higher levels of protection. It has a dark, metallic appearance with a reflective sheen. Whereas the nickel finish, as featured on the REP X PEPIN adjustable dumbbells, has a unique gold hue that offers excellent wear and corrosion resistance but provides slightly less protection as compared to the black chrome. The sleeves are smooth for easy loading and unloading of weight on the barbell. The bar can handle a load of 680kg (1500lb). It features bronze bushings, ideal for slower, strength-focused lifts. These bushings allow for consistent rotation, while ensuring incredible strength and stiffness to withstand heavy loads. Note: If you’re looking for a top-tier powerlifting bar, check out the Double Black Diamond Power Bar.

● REP Badlands Bar does not include Olympic collars. Collars are purchased separately.
