I love this 2 inch fat axle power bar. It really feels like a fat power bar with great and Erling standard barbell sleeves. It’s just a joy to train with mine is the blue version. The only thing would make it better if I knew it was in red or black, but they have other colours for everyone depending on what your favourite colour is. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a high quality knurled axle bar. It’s on My Gym Radar and should be on yours as well.

Amazing. I’ve been using a 29 mm power bar for squat, bench and deadlift.

Using a dedicated deadlift bar makes it so much better. The 27mm shaft and longer bar makes a difference. Very pleased with this purchase and experience with Texas power bars! Great customer service and fast shipping!

This bar is amazing, aggressive knurling and great flex! First time out of the package took this for a 20# PR! Customer service was great and bar shipped and was delivered very quickly!

Love this barbell, very high quality for a very reasonable price

The knurling is perfect for squats, because I don't use a wuusy little barbell pad and prefer to raw dog my squats, stays locked on top of the trap shelf as I pump away

Outstanding purchase and I couldn't be happier, although, I may have to pick up the Squat Bar just to compare the two and see if it holds any tangible advantages over the OG TPB

I purchased a Texas Power Bar over three decades ago. It was a great bar. I used it for many years until I gave it to my nephew when he started lifting . The original bar was a great bar, and I always wanted to get another one. When the 7th gen barbell was released, I read all of the reviews, and they were overwhelming positive. I pulled the trigger and ordered a bare steel bar with chrome sleeves. I don't know if there is such a thing as a perfect barbell, but the 7th gen Texas barbell comes damp close. As I have said before, Great Company, Great customer service, a Great American Company.

The quality is amazing. The best bar just bigger. Knurling is superb. I don't have huge hands so it will bring a new challenge for me with deadlifts. I love how it feels in my hands on bench and any pressing movements. Zerker squats feels better on my forearms. No padding needed.

Great bar. I've used it for presses and overhead clean and press. Pressing it worked great and the grip and fell was very good.
On overhead clean press the sleeves worked really smooth during the flip/transition.
Really puts a lot more involvement in the forearms for grip.
I plan to use it for standing curls, deadlifts, not sure about squats yet.

Fit/finish is great. Mine was a tad porky at maybe 56.6lbs but that's fine with me.
Virtually no side to side play on the sleeves.

Sleeves look easy for maintenance with a unique double roll pin setup.

Great bar, killer knurling and fast shipping.

This bar is fantastic. Outstanding feel with the perfect knurl. I can’t say enough about how good the knurl feels in your hands, it’s what I always needed.
I’m very happy, thank you for making a great bar.
Highly recommend it

I am pretty new to the world of weightlifting, I come from a background of cycling. I realized pretty quick how beneficial strength training was going to be in conjunction with my cycling. I started off with an inexpensive online bar, and after some research I ended up with the Texas power bar. Coming from the world of cycling I already have an eye for detail and appreciation for high-quality equipment. My Texas power bar 29 mm is nothing short of a beautiful piece of equipment that is clearly built to last a lifetime. The knurling of this bar is what brought me to purchase it, even without being able to see or touch the bar I knew from others experiences, this was going to be an incredible experience. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t hesitate on supporting such a great legendary company. I hope to add more Texas bars to my collection in the future as my strength and ability increases so will my collection no doubt.

Top tier bar. I wanted a quality bar with an aggressive knurl. I went with the bare steel after researching numerous bars. I’ve always owned rogue bars but after going with the Original Texas power bar, I’ll be sticking with their product. Highly recommend.

I needed to take some stress of my shoulder while recovering from tendonitis. This bar is an ultra comfortable alternative to the good old low bar back squat. This is not just another safety squat bar. Give it a try and I think you'll love it. Texas Power Bars shipped out immediately and got it to MN in no time.

Hit a new deadlift PR the first time using it without straps. Great grip! Awesome bar. Saving up for the 2” axle bar now.

Bar is awesome was able to pull 405 without straps using it. Struggled with other bars without straps going to help my grip strength on my lifts. Looks incredible and performs as good as it looks.

These bars are AMAZING!!! I have tried a lot of bars and Texas Power bars are far superior!!
