20kg PRO Powerlifting Barbell Hard Chrome (Bushing)

The 360 Strength 20kg PRO Powerlifting Barbell is designed specifically for powerlifting and heavy strength training across squats, bench press and deadlifts. Measuring 2200mm in length with a 28.5mm spring steel shaft and 50mm Olympic sleeves, it is suitable for commercial gyms, powerlifting facilities and home gyms.

The 28.5mm shaft features light coarse knurling with a centre knurl for additional grip and contact during heavy lifts. Brass bushing sleeves provide smooth, controlled rotation under load, while IPF knurl marks provide consistent reference points for hand positioning.

Features

The bar uses a spring steel shaft with a tensile strength of 215,000 PSI, providing excellent resistance to permanent bending under heavy or repeated loading. Combined with its 28.5mm shaft diameter, the bar is designed around the stability required for heavy powerlifting movements.

The shaft is finished in black hard chrome, while the sleeves use silver hard chrome. Hard chrome provides a durable plated surface with strong resistance to wear and corrosion, helping protect the bar through repeated handling, racking, loading and unloading.

The shaft uses light coarse knurling with IPF powerlifting reference marks, providing a secure grip during heavy lifts while giving lifters consistent reference points for hand placement. A centre knurl extends the grip through the middle of the shaft, providing additional contact against the upper back during squats and helping keep the bar securely positioned under load.

The sleeves rotate on four heavy-duty brass bushes. A bushing-based sleeve system provides smooth, controlled rotation while maintaining a stable sleeve assembly, making it well suited to the slower, heavily loaded movements associated with powerlifting.

Rated to 907kg (2,000lb), the bar is designed to comfortably handle heavy strength training across powerlifting facilities, commercial gyms and other high-traffic training environments.

The 433mm loadable sleeves accept all 50mm Olympic weight plates, providing generous loading space for heavy strength training. Compatible Olympic collars can be used to secure plates during training.
