This is an above average made in USA bar. TSC doesn't make it directly so it looses a little bit of appeal, but still a solid option for any lifter!

At the time of purchase this was about $250 with free delivery. It's a Texas squat bar clone and my copy was awesome and very aggressive. Kind of regret selling it!

At the time I purchased this it was one of the cheaper DL bars available and was basically a Texas clone. I really liked it but sold it b/c I had too many and would prefer name brand.

This is probably one of the best bars SAS makes, but unlike their other bars it's not a bargain. That being said it's as sharp as advertised, I just have a hard time committing to the brand at this cost.

This used to be one of the best bargins you could get back in 2019. However inconsistency in production and higher costs has made this one I wouldn't consider unless you're in Canada.

Similar to the Okie power bar, this bar doesn't get talked about as much as it's Texas neighbor. That being said, it's a great bar with a lot of history. Newer bars are built better and have more whip, but this bar has more records set on it!

A classic! This bar doesn't get as much love as the original texas power bar but I put it in a similar category. The build quality is pretty low as there is a lot of clanking and I don't think they use bushings, but it's aggressive and cool! RIP Ricky!

I'm not a fan of lever arms, but if you own them these are a must. I was lucky enough to beta test these out and they actually make the arms functional!
