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 available in black chrome shaft with nickel sleeves. 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.
