7' Competition Series Olympic Bar - 20kg IWF Spec | Iron Grip (OB-20KG) - The USA Made OB-20KG Olympic Bar by Iron Grip is made from premium, product-specific steel to provide the ideal balance of whip and elasticity. For optimal spin, a unique sleeve assembly was designed with a specific arrangement of slick needle bearings and hardwearing roller bearings. This combination provides free and constant sleeve rotation for Olympic lifts, while ensuring long-lasting, maintenance-free durability. The integrated collars are permanently joined to the sleeves, and an additional snap ring locking system secures the shoulder bearings in position to further reinforce the bars’ strength and improve safety. Iron Grip Competition Series Olympic bars are calibrated for accuracy before they leave the factory. Their carefully engineered construction and exceptional performance make them perfectly suited for Olympic-style weightlifting.
The Iron Grip OB-20KG weighs in at 20 kilograms (44.09 lbs.) with a 28mm diameter bar shaft made from specially formulated steel that provides an ideal balance of whip and elasticity. A tensile strength rating of 185,000 PSI ensures that the OB-20KG is ready for the heaviest Olympic lifts in the harshest environments without risk of failure. For the most comfortable and secure grip when pulling the heavy weight, Iron Grip outfits the OB-20KG with a medium size knurling pattern, including center knurl, complete with single ring Olympic hash marks and an industrial hard chrome finish that is as bullet proof as the rest of the bar. 78.7mm diameter round collars are cleverly integrated into the design of the OB-20KG and are permanently joined to the sleeves while an additional snap ring locking system secures the shoulder bearings in position to further reinforce the overall strength of the bar.
Iron Grip power bars, Olympic bars, weight plates, dumbbells and barbells are available for open market US Government purchases via Ironcompany.com, LLC GSA contract 47QSMA22D08NN.
