Summary
The Titan Blues City Power Bar is one of the best budget-friendly power bars available on the market. It uses a high tensile strength steel shaft for high stiffness on squats, a 28.5MM diameter shaft that is slinkier than 29MM for deadlifts, has a volcano knurl like the Rogue OPB and is at a great price. This is the best barbell Titan Fitness offers and it is one we'd recommend, although not above the OPB or Texas Power Bar.
