IWF barbell 20 kg 50 mm

The Stainless Steel Powerlifting Bar is a competition barbell specifically designed for the powerlifting disciplines of squat, bench press, and deadlift. With a weight of 20 kg and a grip diameter of 29 mm, it complies with IWF standard specifications and is equally suited for competitive use in club and high-performance sports as well as for structured training in a well-equipped home gym.

Minimum deflection and secure hold under maximum loads

The shaft made of high-quality stainless steel is characterized by significantly lower flexibility than that of conventional barbells. This increased rigidity is crucial in powerlifting, as excessive bending under maximum load can impair movement control and stability. The aggressive knurling in the grip area ensures a reliable hold on the palm, even without the use of chalk – an essential factor in deadlifts, where slipping hands are a frequent source of error. The additional center knurling improves contact between the bar and the upper back during squats and prevents unwanted shifting of the bar during execution. The IPF-compliant markings on the bar ensure a standardized grip width that guarantees direct transferability from training to competition. The stainless steel construction also gives the bar high corrosion resistance, which supports durability even with intensive use.
