Product Summary
The Rep Sabre Bar is ideally suited for benching, squatting, and deadlifting – along with Olympic movements. Medium depth knurl gives good grip without tearing up your hands. Our 20kg bar comes in two options: with a center knurl or without. Center knurling is helpful for keeping the barbell on your back during back squats and helps with low rep Olympic Lifting. For anyone doing high rep workouts or more Olympic lifting, consider the “No Center Knurl” option, or check out our Gladiator barbell.
