Anyone saying that is probably comparing an older generation bar. The only differences in the shaft is how the knurling is cut. Any claims of one bar being stiffer than another or using different steel are not true for the current generation of bars. These Eleiko bars all use the same steel, same 28mm shaft, same chrome plating, from the same batch. The downside is bumpers are harder to slide onto the bar smoothly. Not too bad though. No more re-adjusting to make sure it’s tight. The advantage is it ensures the collars will never move through multiple drops. Rogue started offering this too, with their new Russian Bar. The “Power Lock” bar is exactly the same as the other WL Training Bar except its sleeves have huge grooves in the old Russian WL bar style. Otherwise, the rest applies to them too, including the 2018 upgrades.
The women’s bars are made with a thinner 25mm shaft and shorter sleeves to hit the 15kg weight, and no center knurling. There’s enough to say about them alone.įor women’s bars, most of the same stuff throughout this article would apply.
I want to keep things focused here on the WL (weightlifting) bars.
