Love the shorts and informative content

Thanks G. Learn something new everyday.

Maybe you could explain the difference between the whip in an olympic bar vs a powerlifting bar.

great information !!! bravo

thanks for the info

great info, great attitude :D

Excellent content. Thank you. One clarification, i can use power bar and hybrid barbell for any type of barbell workout? Whats the length of hybrid barbell my rack width is 45 and i am looking for 56inch barbell, the 51 inch shaft always knocks the rack. I will use it for home. And i dont want huge collection of barbell. Just recommend one please

nice info ！

What is the width between the innermost rings and the outermost rings in centimeters on the powerlifting bar?

Great explanation! Why does the Powerlifting Bar not have center knurling though ? Don't you need center knurling for heavy squats ?

I actually have both bars my BOS bar has the one ring and the other company I order from in Florida has the two rings. The BOS bar has more aggressive knurling

Man I have been weightlifting for years and never knew this.

The rings for powerlifting are not only the IPF standard... ALSO its because there is a MAXIMUM grip width in powerlifting for bench pressing. If I recall correctly the max is your index has to touch the ring. No offense to this gentleman, i'm sure he is nice, but it did not seem like he knew what he was talking about, maybe do research next time OR get someone who knows what they are talking about.

Which one weighs more

great video, maybe you can promote your community at the end instead of the beginning xd

Sir should I buy 28mm or 29 mm

Are the “rings” or marks just so the lifter has an idea where he or she is placing their hands or in IWF / IPF are their requirements to have ones hands inside or outside of the marks? Say for IWF snatch, do your hands have to be outside the IWF marks? I just lift for fitness so it really won’t affect me, but just curious.

Ayyy TXST! Go Bobcats!

PK dropping that good info

I'm assuming they are both 2" thickness.

Very bad video, causes more confusion. Let me clear things up: 1. There's no powerlifting bar in this video, the one on top is a hybrid (multi-purpose) bar for people who want to train both weightlifting and powerlifting. They have a mix of bearings and bushings usually, the bar itself is mildly springy. Highly recommended for all-around amateurs but not ideal for snatches and cleans due to stiffness. 2. The IWF (weightlifting) bar has bearings across the sleeve, spins like crazy, and is as springy as it can be so you can snatch and clean like a god. 3. The IPF bar has bushings only or a mix of bushings and bearings, the bar itself is very stiff, ideal for bench, squat, deadlift. Both powerlifting and hybrid bars come with the double grip marks, so the confusion is understandable, but IPF bars will never NOT have a center knurl. Only hybrids. Most IWF bars also have a mild center knurl usually, although it's not needed or used in competition. The rest of the details like how aggressive the knurl is comes down to personal preference and training volume, can vary between the same type of bar even within the same manufacturer (Eleiko IWF comp bar is super rough, Eleiko IWF training bar has mild knurling). Coated / uncoated is also besides the point and is not a differentiator between types of bars, i.e. you can find coated or uncoated variations of most bars. If you plan to do powerlifting go for any bar really. If you plan to do weightlifting try to get a bar specifically for that as the springiness and spin make a huge difference in feel. 15 kg bars are a cheap way to get springiness at a lower price since the 25 mm thickness makes it naturally more bendy so the quality of the steel matters less while still keeping it springy. With that said, I own 3 barbells right now, and my next one will definitely be an Eleiko. Could have gotten one to begin with, the 3 I own right now put together cost more than 1 Eleiko but that's ok, I'll use them for deadlifts and land mine work. I do own a hybrid 15 kg bar and it's by far the springiest and spinniest of the bunch, and is also amazing for warmups. Its 20 kg bigger brother is significantly less springy, even though it's from the same manufacturer. I initially got it for my girlfriend but I'm using it more than her lol.

Jesus I barely got past the first minute. Otherwise good information!

This guy is kind of a cheesy presenter, but he's so damn earnest it's hard not to like him.

Cringe!!
