International Olympic 7ft Bar (650kg Test)
For all intents and purposes, the same bar as the 350kg test International Olympic 7ft Bar. Made from the same grade of steel, but being slightly thicker (32mm) and, therefore having a higher loading capacity of 650kg. Some people might find a 32mm grip on a bar is a litle too big to comfortably perform a heavy deadlift without gripping assistance, such as lifting straps however a 32mm bar can offer a greater degree of comfort and significantly less flex during bench press and squat than a 28mm spring steel olympic bar without moving up to a specialist axle bar or thick bar. Something to note, the hard chrome finish and knurling of the York International Bars proves far more grip-able than the typical cheaply chromed greasy olympic bars.
As a further update we have introduced a new 28mm spring-steel bar to our range which is aimed at Olympic lifts and crossfit use. Much more cost-effective than the Texas Powerbar with less aggressive knurling, bearing closer resembelance to the American Pendlay range of Olympic bars (recently discontinued).
This is a great olympic bar for bench and squats and the slightly thicker shaft can provide a little more in the way of grip training on deadlifts without going to the extremes of using a 2" thick (fat) bar.
If you can deadlift with a 32mm thick, stiff bar, come competition time a 28mm spring steel bar should enable greater weights to be lifted and PB's to be smashed!
