Starting Strength 20KG Bar

Ideal for all ages & strength levels.

The Starting Strength bar lineup was designed in 2018 by Buddy Capps and Texas Power Bars at the request of Mark Rippetoe for Starting Strength Gyms. These bars are bare steel all the way, a comfortable 28.5 mm* in diameter with the best knurl in the industry. The collars on the SS bars were redesigned with a bigger (3.25”) **diameter, shorter overall length, which also increases the plate space. The collars and sleeves are machined to a near smooth finish. The shafts have a center knurl (20 kg only) and dual ring marks. The 3-bar lineup includes a 20 kg, a 15 kg, and 10 kg option for all ages and strength levels. A natural steel bar that will age gracefully with your gym, The Starting Strength Bar will be your favorite piece of equipment for decades.

I Love This Bar!

Bar arrived in a timely manner and was very well packaged. The knurling on this bar is perfection! Aggressive enough to really get a secure grip but fine enough to not chew up your hands on those heavy lifts. Truly amazing job. I look forward to lifting with this bar for years to come.

Excellent quality, build, and feel - now THIS is craftsmanship

Texas Power Bars' customer service provided quick answers and delivery was fast as well, with only a few days between order and delivery. The barbell itself feels amazing; it is beautiful and feels great in my hands. I specifically looked for a barbell with a 28.5mm diameter with a center knurl for squats. The knurling is perfect for me, as it is a blend of aggressive and non-aggressive. It won't tear my palms apart but it'll definitely feel firm on heavy lifts. And while it does cost $329, one pays good money for good quality. I see myself using this barbell for decades and I doubt I'll ever need to buy another barbell!

Good initial impression however one sleeve doesn’t rotate as smooth/freely as the other

Order was delivered quickly. Good initial impression of the bar with using it for about a dozen lighter work outs. Negative is that one of the sleeves doesn’t rotate as smoothly as the other with somewhat of a rubbing noise. It is a bit disappointing as the one side is really smooth and the other isn’t….impression is somewhat of a negative in quality. I had sent a message to Texas Power Bar where they asked me to send a video….I sent a video and hope to hear back.

Great Bar

Bar is well made and good for all lifts at lower weights. If you are just starting out and don’t know which bar to select, make the decision easy and just pick this one.
