Hades™ Deadlift Bar

The Hades™ deadlift bar is REP’s top-tier deadlifting-specific barbell. This 20kg (44.1lb) bar features no center knurling and very aggressive, deep, mountain-style knurling to provide maximum grip support for heavy deadlifts. The thinner diameter shaft (27mm vs. 29mm for a standard powerlifting barbell) and longer total length (7.6’ vs. 7.3’) allows for more flex under heavy loads. The added flex in the shaft allows the lifter to pull from a slightly higher position as the weight leaves the ground, which is more optimal, and can contribute to heavier lifts. All measurements of the Hades™ bar adhere to powerlifting standards for federations that use a deadlift bar. Powerlifting knurl markings help with proper hand placement. The Hades™ deadlift bar is offered in a black Cerakote shaft with Duracoat® sleeves for a distinct, blacked out look. Duracoat® is a chemical process that hardens the outside of the steel, making it more wear resistant and adding a high degree of corrosion resistance. The sleeves are smooth for easy loading and unloading of the plates. And the 15.75” loadable sleeve length, longer than most other deadlift bars, means space for more weight plates on the bar. Bronze bushings are great for slower, strength-focused lifts and allow for consistent rotation, while ensuring incredible strength and stiffness to withstand heavy loads.
