The Troy Texas Power Bar is a sturdy bar that I plan on getting years of use out of. Already we used two in a powerlifting research lab for several months with several subjects squatting, benching, and dead-lifting every day. Neither bar shows any wear, or bend. These bars have each been subjected to 500lbs loads. Around the 400 mark, the bars may show a slight bend during a lift, but every bar has maintained its shape perfectly when the weight is unloaded. The deep knurling is excellent for dead-lifts.
Im happy I ordered mine on wayfair because I got a great price. Actually, a price that had me pretty skeptical at first. Upon delivery I was able to confirm that this bar is the same Troy texas power bar available from other distributers for much more. They no longer have the texas stamp on the inside of the bar but I was able to call the distributer and confirm why this changed. So rest assured (if you receive one without a stamp) it is THE troy texas power bar."..." Read more
