Certified by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) this bar is designed specifically for training for competitive Olympic weightlifting and used by professional lifters in training halls and facilities around the world. The training bar delivers the feel and performance of our competition bar but with less sharp knurling making the bar appropriate for a higher volume of lifting. Crafted in Sweden, the bar’s high performance is the result of precision needle bearings that disperse the load evenly through the shaft to deliver uniform rotation at all loads. Proprietary steel and chrome coating provides the optimal balance between strength and elasticity to deliver the ultimate lifting experience.
