What is it?

The Texas power bars were developed by Buddy Capps (a Texas powerlifter) more than 30 years ago and have become the standard in powerlifting. Manufactured by Capps Welding, and coated with zinc oxide which means they're not slippy and weakened (which it is believed the process of chroming does), but they are not prone to rust like the standard "unfinished" Texas Power Bars.

What the Experts Say

The Texas power bar is one of the best there is, and are designed to last unlike generic/cheaper bars. The Texas power bars were developed by Buddy Capps (a Texas powerlifter) more than 30 years ago and have become the standard in powerlifting. Sleeves are made up of one piece construction with no bolts to lose and have brass bushings that never require maintenance. This bar can be put into any application without worry, one of the strongest most robust bars on the market, and virtually maintenance free. Manufactured by Capps Welding, and coated with zinc oxide which means they're not slippery, as chrome bars can be. Barbell Warranty Specifics This is an Olympic Lifting specific Barbell.

Maintenance is key for any piece of gym equipment, and importantly for barbells. Regular maintenance will keep your equipment in prime condition and lasting a lifetime. Regular oiling between the shaft and sleeve with 3 in 1 oil is essential for good rotation Incorrect usage (misuse) of barbells includes but not limited to: Dropping unevenly onto a non-Olympic platform surface, spotting arms, power rack, box etc Dropping the bar with no bumper plates (empty bar) Dropping the bar with weight plates other than bumper plates Dropping the bar in a way that part of the bar makes contact with any surface prior to the bumper plates Storing the bar for a prolonged period of time loaded with weights Key indicators for barbells that have been used for purposes that are unintended, and void warranty, include A slight or gradual and consistent bend in the shaft. Incorrect storage such as leaving the barbell loaded with weight for a prolonged period of time will cause this style of damage thus rendering misuse rather than a manufacturing fault A bend which is off centre is the result of trauma caused by uneven dropping of the bar. Generally accompanied by a a localised surface deviation or colour change on the shaft

Our Customer Say

★★★★★

So the benefit that I had with going with Industrial Athletic is they've been involved with a lot of fit-outs from start to finish, the professionalism and the experience. There's no other choice, they're at the top of their game.

Chris Burke - Owner/Head Coach

★★★★★

To get the quality of gear that can handle a high amount of usage, especially when you've got a particular budget to start with, you need to know it's going to last you and it's going to be fit for the use you'll put it through. Make sure you've got something that you are proud of, you're happy with, and is going to last is really critical.

If you want gear thats going to do the job and do it well and it's going to last, than I'd definitely say 'spend the money on it', and I'd definitely recommend Industrial Athletic because it ticks all the boxes when it comes to gym equipment

★★★★★

I didn't really look around too much to be honest. I have a good idea of what's out there and have dealt with a few different vendors. So it was a bit of a no-brainer for me - it was a trust thing. I knew the products were good quality, and I knew the service I was going to get from Rob was good and I could trust him.
