Games Barbell

The 10 needle bearings allow the sleeves to spin smoothly and independently of the shaft. This is essential for Olympic lifts like snatches and cleans, as it reduces the torque on your wrists during explosive movements.

The 1.2mm diamond knurling is designed to be secure without being overly abrasive. It provides a reliable grip for high-repetition functional fitness workouts without tearing up your hands during longer sessions.

Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it much more durable against rust and wear than standard bare steel or chrome finishes. It helps maintain the bar's professional look even with frequent use in a garage gym environment.

The 20kg version is the standard men's Olympic barbell length with a 28mm shaft diameter, while the 15kg version is the standard women's length with a slightly thinner 25mm shaft diameter for easier grip.

With a 190,000 PSI tensile strength and a 1500 lb weight capacity, this bar is more than capable of handling heavy deadlifts. However, because it features needle bearings designed for Olympic lifting spin, it will have more 'whip' than a dedicated, stiff powerlifting bar.
