Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Buddy Capps bar different from other Power Bars? Unlike mass-produced bars, the Buddy Capps bar is manufactured with a specific steel heat-treatment process that allows it to be extremely stiff yet retain "memory" so it returns to perfectly straight even after massive loads.

Is the 28.5mm diameter standard? While some modern bars use 29mm, the 28.5mm diameter of the original Texas Power Bar is preferred by many lifters for a more secure grip on deadlifts while still providing a rock-solid feel for squats.

What is the condition of this "Used" bar? This bar is rated "Like New." It has been kept in a climate-controlled environment, shows zero rust, and the knurling remains sharp with no skin or chalk buildup.

Care & Maintenance

Easy Cleanup: Because this bar is in like-new condition, a simple wipe-down with a dry cloth after use is all that's needed to maintain the finish.
Bushing Longevity: The bronze bushings are self-lubricating; no oiling of the sleeves is required.
Straightness Guarantee: This bar has been tested and is certified perfectly straight.
