ATX Competition Powerlifting Bar

With the introduction of the new ATX Competition Powerlifting Bar and ATX Competition Powerlifting Calibrated Plates, I can’t help but think that it’s the German’s (ATX) showing off – the precision, quality, and price-point is unreal. The items are not just IPF specification – they’re deliberately better than. Take for example the 230,000 psi rated steel that’s used and independently tested in Germany – you can easily get away with 186,0000 psi (like the TPB). Adding the extra-coarse knurl to the bar is for the powerlifter – not to meet competition regulations. These are bars designed for the purest and to break some serious records. 

You’ll need to review the Calibrated weights separately. Not content with the usual 0.25% tolerance, ATX’s is less than 0.05% tolerance. WTF! This really is showing off! 

ATX ® Competition Powerlifting Bar

The ATX ® Competition Powerlifting Bar is a premium barbell bar for competitive powerlifting. With a tensile strength of 230,000 PSI, a handle diameter of 29 mm and an extra-coarse knurling this barbell bar is perfectly matched to the professional powerlifting (powerlifting – squat, bench press, deadlift). The perfect composition of the materials makes the added value of this bar for every athlete immediately noticeable.
