Starting Strength Bar

Why The Texas Starting Strength Bar Designed in collaboration with Mark Rippetoe, renowned strength coach, author of Starting Strength, and authority in barbell training education, the Texas Starting Strength Bar brings the precision and feel needed to develop proper lifting mechanics. Manufactured by Buddy Capps and sold by Texas Power Bars, this bar combines decades of handbuilt Texas craftsmanship with coaching expertise to give athletes a tool that teaches technique while performing under real-world loads. With a 28.5mm shaft, 4" center knurl, fine knurling, dual knurl marks, and a weight of 44 lbs / 20 kg, this bar is ideal for high-rep technique work, learning proper form, and safely progressing toward heavier lifts. Its 15" loadable sleeves and 86" length make it compatible with standard racks and platforms, while the 190K PSI tensile strength steel ensures durability and stability for every lift. *Only Offered In Bare/Bare Finish Lighter Variant Options – also available in 33lb
