I have a Strongarm DL bar on my side. Got this bar since 2y. Fantastic bar really. It's sadly often forgotten with all the new bars and the good classic oldies out there. It's bare steel, but the alloy is kinda special... It doesn't rust, somebody commented about it it's close to stainless without being so. I maintain it well, but I've notice it doesn't need a lot of attention compared to other bars I've got. I never saw any rust patch and doesn't develop any patina. Look exactly like when I've pulled out of the box. Knurl is really good and sharp and the price is crazy nice. In hand, it feel it's very close to a TPB and Mike from Strongarm knows his stuff and he's nice to deal with... And he's a fellow Canadian too! Strongly recommended. I'm sure REP is a nice one though...! Good review!

I’ve seen some other people mention it, but I’d like to see a deadlift bar comparison between Rogue Ohio, Rep, Texas, Kabuki, and any others out there. I have a hard time quantifying whip and it’d be cool if you found some way to test whip for each. From everything I’ve heard the kabuki bar had an insane amount of whip, but is really hard to get right now. I’d like to see a whip comparison between the Rep Hades and the Texas Deadlift bar.

I bought a Texas Deadlift Bar. It was not quite as long as the Rep bar, which was important to me since my deadlift area has vertical boundaries on each side. Rogue’s was out due to black zinc. Kabuki’s was out on price. Rep was just too long. Texas Deadlift Bar checked all the boxes and I bought it on sale.

I don’t disagree much but something to consider is if you’re going to buy a deadlift bar to practice for a comp, as far as I know most people are using Texas deadlift bars, or kabuki. I’d go with whatever you’re using in comp. The difference is pronounced between them. There is a ton of difference between the whip of a rogue and a Texas deadlift bar, and even more from rogue to kabuki. So you should buy whatever your fed uses. As far as I know, no feds are using rep so this purchasing this doesn’t make much sense to me. Not saying don’t do it. But if you’re not powerlifting for comp wasting money on a deadlift bar is pretty nonsensical. If you are wasting money on on, I’d go with Texas over rogue. It’s like 30 bucks difference and way more fun to pull heavy on. If you’re powerlifting then buying a bar your fed doesn’t use makes almost no sense. Just something to consider.

@thomasbaughman9941Ай бұрын
@@ericomfg Kabuki knurling is awesome, just like the Texas DL bar, but 4-500 still isn't enough weight to have an appreciable difference in how the bar performs compared to a normal power bar. It's like lifting with calibrated plates, it doesn't make a difference, until it does. Anyone who tells you they can feel a difference in a Texas or Kabuki DL bar (outside of the diameter) at 500 is lying, mostly to try and justify the purchase. If you have the money laying around and just really want a top end deadlift bar, by all means knock yourself out. The problem is too many people think that the thing holding them at a 455 deadlift is that they aren't using a $500+ bar.

So these high whip thin dead lift bars take the part of the lift you want the hardest, and make it easier, why? There seems to be growing evidence in the literature to get the most benefit from the movement in terms of muscle hypertrophy and strength, which is probably what the vast majority of people who train this movement want, you want as stiff a bar as possible. Why? To make sure that the muscles you are using are in the most stretched position possible while under the full load. In other words, it seems the opposite to want to make the part of the lift that will give you the most benefit, the easiest part of the lift. Now if you are on the platform, and pride or money are on the line, sure, add that whip. However for a home gym owner a nice Rogue Ohio Power Bar or equivalent is the better choice. Of course you can only make so many videos on standard 29mm barbells I suppose! This videos as always are great though!!
