Get RXd Oly Weightlifting Bar

This bar is designed with spring steel, which provides the necessary 'whip' or flex needed for explosive movements like the clean and jerk. Combined with a 28mm shaft diameter and eight needle bearings for a smooth spin, it is built to handle the technical demands of Olympic lifts.

The knurling is classified as medium. It offers enough texture to provide a secure, reliable grip during heavy sets without being so sharp that it tears up your hands during high-volume training sessions.

Hard chrome is one of the more durable finishes available, offering excellent resistance to rust and scratches. While it is low-maintenance, it is still good practice to wipe the bar down with a light coat of 3-in-1 oil occasionally to keep the steel in top condition.

While you can use it for powerlifting, this bar is optimized for Olympic lifting. The spring steel construction is designed to flex under load, which is great for cleans but may feel less stable than a stiffer powerlifting bar when you are handling very heavy loads on a bench press or squat.

Needle bearings allow the sleeves of the barbell to rotate smoothly and independently of the shaft. This rotation is crucial for Olympic lifts because it reduces the torque placed on your wrists and elbows as the bar turns during the turnover phase of a lift.
