What is a deadlift bar? As you probably guessed, a deadlift bar is designed for deadlifting. These bars use a narrower diameter, have a longer distance between sleeves, and have more aggressive knurling. Therefore, it’s easier to grip for this lift, and the bar has more “whip,” which allows it to bend more than a traditional bar when coming off the floor. This helps to increases speed at the beginning of the pull. You should be able to deadlift more with this over a traditional power bar.

Who is a bar like this for? A specialty bar like this is best for someone training for powerlifting. However, lifting with a deadlift bar is just different. Some may even call it fun, and anyone who loves “deadlift day” would appreciate this bar. While it’s not necessary for the average lifter, if you have space/budget, a deadlift bar will make a nice addition. For gym owners, this would be a nice toy for your members!

Now, let’s talk about the ISF Deadlift Bar.

This is a very impressive bar. Some initial specs with comparisons to a typical power bar include:

• 27mm shaft diameter (power bar is typically 29mm)
• The overall length of 91.73″ (about 5″ longer than a typical power bar)
• 15.75″ of slightly grooved sleeves (a bit less than most power bars)
• No center knurl (a must for traditional power bars)
• Below are some pics with a traditional power bar on the bottom.

The I Sell Fitness Power Bar is a solid bar, especially for the price. It’s designed for powerlifters but will serve anyone looking to bench, squat, and deadlift well. For anyone needing a bar to bang around, this is a high-value option to consider.

Who is this for?

This bar is primarily for very serious squatters because much of the benefit will not be realized until quite a bit of weight is loaded on. Also, most squat bars are priced quite a bit higher than a basic power bar, which can be used for all lifts. Therefore, it’s not an item that most would call “essential.” Plus, other specialty bars are more versatile than a squat bar.

However, if you are on the fence, this option from I Sell Fitness is the most budget-friendly option available right now. Many of its specs line up with other well-known brands like Rogue and Kabuki, but the overall quality is average. Nevertheless, this may be an option to consider.

What is a Squat Bar?

Squat bars are designed quite a bit thicker than your traditional Olympic barbell. This helps remove the up and down swing you’ll see when the bar reaches a heavy load. Plus, a wider area in between sleeves helps to ensure an easier and safer racking experience. Lastly, the thickness allows for more contact on the back is more comfortable on your back compared to using a traditional power bar.
