Built for the Big Three
The Powerlifting Bar is for everyone who takes squats, bench press, and deadlifts seriously. Unlike all-rounder bars, it's precisely designed for the demands of powerlifting: 29 mm grip diameter per IPF specification, stiff steel without much flex, aggressive knurling that doesn't give up during heavy pulls. The center knurling ensures the bar doesn't slide down your back during squats – even when it gets wet. Whether training or competition prep: You always grip the same way you will on competition day.
Stainless steel for pure grip
Stainless steel means: no coating between you and the bar. You feel the knurling directly, the grip feels more natural and grippier than coated variants. Add to that: 850 kg load capacity and 216,000 PSI spring steel. This thing lasts decades – in daily box operation just as in the home gym. One customer review puts it perfectly: After almost two years still sharp enough for good grip, but not so aggressive that you constantly tear up your hands.

Customer reviews
If you train powerlifting seriously, you need a bar that's built for it. The Multisports is an all-rounder – great for functional training. But for heavy squats and deadlifts you want this aggressive knurling and the stiffness of a real powerlifting bar. The thicker grip gives you control, the center knurling keeps the bar on your back. And stainless steel? The grip is just more direct, no coating in between.
