Texas MONSTER Squat Bar (35mm)

King Of Squat Bars For Record Setting Squats

35mm Shaft — 66lbs / 30kg — FSA/HSA Eligible

The MONSTER Texas Squat Bar is a heavy-duty specialty squat barbell built for those who demand absolute stability, zero whip, and total dominance under the heaviest loads ever racked. This isn’t just a standard squat bar — engineered specifically for elite-level squat training and world-record attempts. With a massive 35mm shaft and weighing in at 66 lbs (30kg), it is the undisputed King of Squat Bars. Designed for lifters who laugh at limits, this bar provides complete confidence when the weight reaches its peak.

Why The "Monster" Is In A League Of Its Own

Top pick for when the regular squat bar simply isn't enough. Here is why the Monster wins:

• ✓ 35mm Shaft Diameter: Our thickest 200k tensile shaft creates ultimate stiffness for No Whip or Bend, even under 1000lb+ loads.
• ✓ 66 lbs / 30 kg Weight: Extra mass for maximum rack walkout stability. The bar feels completely dead in your hands.
• ✓ 18¾" Loadable Sleeves: Massive sleeve length provides room for the widest calibrated plate stacks or huge iron loads.
• ✓ 6" Center Knurl: Extra-wide aggressive center knurl bites into the traps to prevent rolling on even the heaviest grinder reps.

Built to Break Records

The Monster Texas Squat Bar is a barbell in a league of its own. Featuring a massive 35mm shaft forged from 200k+ PSI tensile strength steel, this bar is engineered for maximum stiffness and virtually zero whip.

At a staggering 101.5″ overall length, the Monster doesn’t just handle heavy weight — it was born for it. The added mass and oversized diameter keep the bar locked in position during unracks, walkouts, and max-effort squats where instability is not an option.

When squats are life, there’s no substitute.

Who Needs The Monster?

• Elite powerlifters chasing All-Time World Records
• Super Heavyweight (SHW) lifters who need a bar that matches their frame
• Equipped lifters (Multi-ply) needing massive sleeve space
• Lifters who find standard squat bars too "whippy" or unstable
• Gym owners who want the ultimate statement piece for leg day
• Strongman looking to train with extreme stiffness/thickness 

Warning: This bar weighs 66lbs (30kg). It is significantly heavier than standard bars.

Best Texas Power Bar for Extreme Squat Loads

Regarded as the best Texas Power Bar for extreme squat loads, the Monster delivers unmatched stability, stiffness, and confidence. Unlike standard bars that can oscillate (bounce) under extreme weight, causing you to lose your line or balance, the Monster remains perfectly rigid. This allows you to transfer 100% of your force into the floor without fighting the physics of a bending bar.

Engineered for Max Squatting

• Zero Whip: 35mm shaft guarantees the bar stays straight, no matter the load.
• Max Capacity: 18.75" sleeves hold more plates than almost any other bar on the market.
• Total Confidence: "It doesn’t bend. It doesn’t break. And it doesn’t back down."

This is not a multi-purpose bar. This is a dedicated squat weapon built for lifters who train beyond normal limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Monster Texas Squat Bar designed only for squatting?
Yes. This bar is purpose-built exclusively for heavy squat training and extreme loads. The 35mm thickness and extreme stiffness make it unsuitable for bench press or deadlifts.

Does the Monster Texas Squat Bar have whip?
Almost none. The 35mm shaft and 200K PSI steel are engineered for maximum stiffness and minimal flex ("zero whip").

Will this bar fit my power rack?
The bar is significantly longer than a standard power bar (101.5"). You must measure your gym space and rack width to confirm compatibility, especially with compact racks.

How much does the Monster Bar weigh?
It weighs 66 lbs / 30 kg. Always account for this extra weight when calculating your plate load.

Can I use this for bench pressing or other lifts?
We do not recommend it. The 35mm shaft is extremely thick for a pressing grip, and the bar weight (30kg) is non-standard for bench computations.
