Built Texas Tough
We’re proud of our Texas roots, and the Austin Bar embodies everything it means to be "Texas tough." Built to be a workhorse, the Austin Bar is designed with a moderate flex, making it perfect for cross-training, powerlifting, or Olympic lifting.
The aerospace grade bushing strike a balance between the high spin needed for dynamic lifts and the stability required for heavy, controlled movements like squats or presses. This makes them perfect for lifters who engage in a variety of training styles. We wanted to design a barbell that feels at home in your hands, and we believe we nailed it with the Austin Bar.
Engineered with durability in mind, the Austin bar features a Glacier Blue cerakote finish option and a Stainless Steel option. Both Cerakote and Stainless Steel are extremely resistant to rust, especially in more humid climates. They also retain chalk very well, so you won't have to be running to the chalk bucket in between sets.
This Volcano isn't exploding, it's knurling
Medium volcano knurling offers the perfect grip — secure enough for heavy lifts but gentle enough for high-rep sessions.
Durable Blue Chrome
Not only do these sleeves look badass, but they’re also durable, staying scratch-free even after years of plate loading. The chrome finish resists scratches, dents, and wear, ensuring your bar looks brand new for years to come. This robust design protects the sleeves from chipping or flaking, unlike traditional coatings, maintaining their sleek, professional aesthetic.

Aerospace Grade Bushings
Aerospace-grade bushings makes them resistant to wear and tear, ensuring longevity even with frequent use. Unlike bearings, which require regular cleaning and lubrication, bushings have self-lubricating properties that reduce the need for constant upkeep, making them an ideal choice for those who prioritize hassle-free equipment.

Volcano Knurling
The volcano-style knurling features a grid of small, cone-shaped indentations designed to maximize surface area contact with your hands.
Compared to more aggressive knurling patterns (e.g., diamond or sharp knurling), the medium volcano style is less abrasive. This reduces the likelihood of skin tears or excessive callus formation during high-volume sets or CrossFit-style workouts.

Signature Metal Coin End Caps
Our signature Austin, Texas metal end caps do not trap dirt or moisture like sticker end caps might, ensuring better barbell hygiene and longevity. They're designed to withstand the impact of repeated drops during heavy lifts, making them ideal for long-term use in high-performance environments.
