Oly/Cross Training Bar (OLYCROSSBAR)
Price: $244.00 + $40 shipping/handling (continental US)
Bar has both Powerlifting (inside rings) and Olympic Lifting (outside rings) markings for grip. Proudly made in the USA.
Many distributors use an inferior 1 1/4″ (approx. 32mm) shaft for their bars. This enables them to use cheaper steel and still have an appropriate tensile strength. We use the higher quality American made 1 1/8″ (approx. 28.5mm) diameter steel. A thicker bar is a big deterrent to your grip, and also has a tendency to jam your wrist on overhead lifts.
We also finish our entire bar with a bright Zinc plated finish to deter rust. Be very wary of buying a bar with any Chrome finish. Chrome becomes very slick in humid areas and also slicker if any perspiration gets on the Chrome finish. Many Chrome finished bars have a tendency to flake and peel off over time, leaving razor-like edges.
We also guarantee the sleeves will stay in tact through your heaviest abuse. If not, send it back and we will replace it. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Q-Bar, IPF Approved (QBAR)
Price: $568.00 + $40 shipping/handling (continental US)
The Q-Bar is an IPF approved Powerlifting bar. Proudly made in the USA. It was designed by Powerlifters, for Powerlifting. It was the official bar for the Quest American Invitational at the 2008 Arnold Fitness Expo. The feedback from the lifters was exceptional.
It is 28 1/2 mm bar and has much less whip than many inferior American and foreign made bars. It also has a wider pattern of Knurling in the middle and is cut courser there to really sit solid on your back for squats. The sleeves where the plates load against is cut roughly 1″ thick instead of 2″ like most. This gives you more sleeve area for plates, about 2 1/2″ more space for plates and spotting. Many people have commented the knurling for Deadlifting is great being that it is course, but not too sharp.
Brian Siders has said that what he really likes about the Q-Bar is that he doesn’t have to change bars from exercise to exercise. A great all around bar for each lift!
Quest Training Bar (TRAINBAR)
Price: $320.00 + $40 shipping/handling
Proudly made in the USA. Quest Training Bar has the same shaft as the Q-bar. However, Q-bar’s sleeves have a bit better spinning and it has a better finish (look). Q-bar is IPF approved so it is great for a sanctioned meet. Training Bar is great for training. Please contact us if you have any questions.
