The difference you feel on heavy lifts
The Weightlifting Competition Bar is for anyone serious about Olympic lifting. The difference to an all-rounder bar: flexible spring steel that works with you during heavy cleans and snatches. The whip – the bar's elasticity – stores energy you can use during the turnover or standing up. This isn't marketing, you feel it on every heavy lift. Add to that aggressive knurling that holds even with sweaty hands and max attempts. The IWF markings show you exactly where your hands belong – for snatch, clean and jerk.IWF Standard: Built for competition and training
This bar meets all International Weightlifting Federation standards. Exactly 20 kg, 220 cm length, 28 mm grip diameter – the same specs you'll find at competition. The chrome-plated spring steel withstands a tensile strength of 216,000 PSI. If you're aiming for competitions or simply want to train with the same equipment as the pros, this is the right bar. We use it ourselves in our box – for everything involving snatch and clean & jerk.Technical Specifications
