ATX® Power Bar Chrome with centre knurling is very similar to the ATX® Black Mamba Power Bar and the ATX® Power Bar Black, the only difference would be chrome finish and centre knurling.

The Power Bar is made of very strong and elastic spring steel. It has a massive 206,000 PSI (Tested!) meaning you will need quite a few plates to break it. Barbells under 190,000 PSI tend to bend over time from continuous use, while barbells over 190,000 PSI will remain straight even after years of lifting.

This bar offers dual markings (powerlifting and weightlifting) and central knurling. Bars with centre knurling will provide better grip during squats.

Weight Load Capacity

The weight load capacity varies between exercises due to the relevant load support of the different exercises. Squats are the lowest at 500kg because the load is only supported in the centre of the bar by your shoulders. Conversely, when you bench press your hands are spaced wider than the other lifts. This means there is less strain on the bar.

Regardless these capacities will not be an issue. The person that squats more than 500kgs will no doubt have back wider than the average bench press grip.
