American Barbell 7' Stainless Steel Olympic Precision Training Bar -- American Barbell (OB20-SS-IWF)

American Barbell 7' Stainless Steel Olympic Precision Training Bar | American Barbell (OB20-SS-IWF) - This finely crafted USA-made power bar conforms to IWF specifications for competition-style powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting applications. The American Barbell Stainless Steel Olympic Bar is full commercial grade, perfect for heavy home use, high school, college, personal training studios, military, and commercial gym use. American Barbell Olympic bars were originally designed and distributed by GP Industries, and continue to be produced today under the American Barbell brand name with the same industry-respected engineering and commercial quality.

An IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) Bar will have more spring, wider hand grip locating points, and bushings in rotating sleeves to provide quick rotation for Olympic style lifts. The knurl area spans all the way out to the sleeves to maximize grip area.

What are the advantages of a Stainless Bar vs. a Hard Chrome bar?

Stainless Steel provides superior corrosion resistance. In Salt spray testing (accelerated corrosion testing) a Hard Chrome Bar shows signs of rust in approximately 24 hours and a Stainless Bar goes beyond 120 hours. The big advantage is the Stainless Bar can be cosmetically touched up as needed if it rusts, where chrome cannot. You may also soften the knurl with sandpaper if desired. Hard Chrome is a non-corrosion resistant coating and NOT desirable in wet or humid environments.
