Pyrros Bar - 28MM - Stainless Steel

If I didn’t get this used at a good price, I wouldn’t have gotten this. I’m far from an Olympic lifter, but like many, I like to dabble. This barbell is way too good for me and my crappy shoulders. I don’t deserve it but there you have it.

An amazing oly bar, everyone at our gym loves it, I Also like the really passive kurling in the center as it makes it more grippy then a bare patch

If you compete in USA Weightlifting, this bar is for you. It is used in all national level competitions. The spin is consistent and great. The knurling is very sharp which I personally prefer. I recommend taping it like shown in the picture to save your training garments from being shredded. Now some are wondering how a $715 barbell is a 5 on value. This IS the cheapest IWF certified bar out there. The tolerances that the IWF set are crazy specific which usually raise the price. Love is this barbell, and it will be my daily driver for squats and clean and jerks going forward.

This bar is incredible. The kurling is great for cleans in particular and allows you to have security of the bar in your hand without needing to cake on chalk which can sometimes be the case for some weightlifting bars that have more passive knurling. I prefer the whip on this bar for squatting over my Eleiko because it is a bit more stiff, and it does give more security on max cleans. This bar, however is absolutely AWFUL to do volume work with and I will always use my Eleiko for doubles or singles in the snatch, or if i ever have to do hang work for the clean. I also get frustrated using leather straps with the bar because the grip doesn't allow me to adjust the straps in my hand as easily and there are times that it completely ruins a set cause you're redoing your straps for 30 seconds extra before a big set. I think this is a great bar to have at a good price if you only want one bar. The stainless steel also means it requires almost no maintenance, which isn't the case with my chrome bars. As for me this will remain my squat and max out bar, but wont get as much use as my Eleiko day to day.
