Product Summary
With its aggressive knurling patterns and wide grip diameter, this bar is designed with powerlifters in mind and would also be a great addition to your home gym if those are the type of lifts that you enjoy. While stainless steel might be more expensive than some other materials, it is designed for durability. Between the stainless steel and graphite bushings, you’ll have a bar that is made to withstand a lot of weight and reps.
The longer sleeve length of the bar gives you room to load a lot of weight and the ribbed feature helps the plates stay in place. This bar is easy to distinguish from others by taking a look at the details on the very end, which show the bold Odin logo, along with the shaft diameter and bar weight. The overall sleek design makes it a bar that not only feels good to use, but also looks good when not in use.
