Eleiko has the most legendary barbells in the world. They're also the most expensive. Here's my Eleiko Power Bar Review. Eleiko has been around as long as anyone making barbells. Their Olympic Weightlifting Bars are some of the most beloved bars in existence (myself included,) however, the Power Bar doesn't seem to get as much love.
Today, I compare the Eleiko Power Bar to the Kabuki Strength New Gen Power Bar and the Rogue Ohio Power Bar and tell you who I think it's best suited for.

"Guess the bar price" Price in title Thanks Coop!

[@PieRow]

Also it’s written in the thumbnail in invisible ink

[@klino79]

Apparently, Eleiko don’t recommend this for home use, since it is “unchromed” in compliance with the IPF rules and therefore oxidates faster. Their cheaper performance bar is coated and therefore more resilient to rust. So there is a reason for them not coating the bar.

[@carlosacarter]

This is correct. Also, in Europe, the UK in particular, this bar has a lifetime warranty.

[@alanaliyev456GT]

@Ivan The difference is that the overpriced Eleiko won't even marginally improve your lifting like a custom racket would improve a pro's tennis. A $1000 bottle of bourbon won't taste much better than a $500 one, if at all. Other than specialty bars that no one else has replicated yet, the barbell has been refined to excellence at a much lower price point than this. Even the core material of the bar can't be considered premium, the fact that at this price it rusts so fast and has that corny sticker is inexcusable.

[@nerdonabudget]

Coop how you gonna tell us to guess the price when you told us in the title?

@4:24 The stiffness of a bar is measured by the diameter (which is the same 29mm) and the modulus of elasticity, not the tensile strength or the rockwell hardness.

[@Sealed_Chamber]

Oooh look we got a fancy science man over here.

Yup so many reviewers get this wrong! The modulus of elasticity is also nearly identical for all steel. The only bar specs that matter for stiffness is diameter of the shaft and the distance between the weights.

How refreshing to see an honest review on youtube, kudos to you Sir

[@lucifuge.777]

I think people are looking at this bar more as gear enthusiasts/home gym owners, when the reality is that it's marketed for environments where IPF competitions will be taking place. So basically, not your garage. This is like the Rolls-Royce of powerlifting bars, and carries a certain swag, if you own one. Is it overly expensive?...probably. Do you need it?...no. However there will be certain individuals who want to train on the equipment they'll be using in competition as closely as possible and for them, it's probably worth the investment.

[@bogdaniojescu5889]

I used many bars over the years but the Eleiko ipf one is just amazing in the hand.No grip isues on deadlifts and even feels better on squats

[@andrewchao9164]

I absolutely love the 20KG stainless steel variant of the ohio power bar. has the super thin collars like the Eleiko and a really well balanced knurling. also great that it costs like 1/3 of the Eleiko

[@padraigfoley310]

I have the bar in the video and the ohio power bar and I marginally prefer the Eleiko feel in my hands, but the ohio is near to just as good in every aspect.

I have this Eleiko power bar. I did buy it used last spring. I don't use chalk and like that the grip does not give. You just have to want an Eleiko. They are rated to hold like 3300 lbs before losing straight.

[@NiqolasCarl]

Don't underestimate rockwell hardness for bare steel bars. Harder steel will be more resilient to wire brush scrubbing, meaning the knurling will stay intact throughout rust busting and general cleaning over the years.

[@MD-ze6gl]

One of the best barbell on a planet. I'm just a guy who love lifting weight, nothing more. Tried both because "there's nothing better". Sold both and buy the bar i love the most again, Texas Power Bar. Everyone has different feeling, nothing wrong with that! Aside from that this bar is something you can consider yourself lucky to have money to buy. Just my opinion.

[@GAMERGEBITER]

3:32 Coop if you look up the Hookesches law you can see that every steel bar with the same diameter and lenght bends the same (Elastic bend, not plastic which is always the case unless you permanently bend the bar), because of the general E-Modul of Steel beeing 210000 N/mm² So it doesnt matter which typ of steel is used or its tensile strengt. Just lenght and diameter matter.

[@stevehoran6132]

What if it is an alloy?

[@GAMERGEBITER]

@@stevehoran6132 There can be differences in the E-Module of steel due to alloy components and manufacturing processes. But they are typically very minor and also they do not correlate to the tensile strength. Generally you just assume steel to have an E-Module of 210000 N/mm² because most manufacturers wont give you date for the E-Module

Thoughts on eleiko Weightlifting bars? And comparing them to others on the market?

[@ForeverDirt3]

You can NOT judge stiffness of steels by their tensile strength. Mechanical stiffness is determined by geometry (which we asume is the same here) and the modulus of steel. The modulus does not change with normal steel even though the tensile strength of a given steel variant might be twice as high. Best regards A german engineer that does not work in the field and might got that wrong ;)

Im not sure if you can use tensile strenght as measurement for stifness. Tensile strenght tells you how much pressure something can take bufore it breaks, not how stiff its gonna be before that break. What youre looking for is youngs modulus which tells you how much force is needed to deform something in elastic region.

[@monkmonkmonk]

So...basically, the bar is too expensive (as you’ve explicitly stated), even though, Eleiko as a rather long history of quality bars, which is (and as being) tested throughout many competitions (i.e. Olympics, IPF meets, IWF world weightlifting championships and so on) throughout the world, unlike, many of the company’s direct market competitors (including Rogue, Kabuki etc). From what I can gather, the bar’s target market isn’t for mere ‘gym enthusiasts’, but rather niche competitive strength athletes, whom prefers an high degree of ‘specificity’ (which you’ve slightly touched upon). Also, as you are aware, bare steel is primarily utilised because it (or should) provide superior grip to any such alternatives - during competition. I am also certain Eleiko does indeed provide lifetime warranty for the IPF bar. It’s seemingly quite purposeful to find unwarranted faults that can be easily explained to the general public - quite disingenuous, to say the least. 8:03 of a video to repetitively bleat about the cost. My gosh! Anyway, hopefully, the bar can be impartially compared alongside (or versus) Ivanko, Leoko, Pallini, Uesaka and Zaoba Bull powerlifting competition bars (largely focusing on performance of the equipment/s), in the near future.

The other bars have a chrome surface, which are more for performance and training, where the bars get a good beating.....The Raw Steel however is made for competitions where you make just a few lifts and you get it only on the power bar......i get your point, but that bar is like a supercar, you should take care of it.....which a lot of equipment doens't get much care in a garage gym......so, a performance bar would make more sense in a garage gym.

Man... I LOVE your channel but I think you missed the mark on this review. Please allow me to explain: 1. Eleiko bars are assembled by hand. 2. Eleiko bars have to be -10g/+20g within stated weight to pass inspection. 3. They use proprietary graphite bushing inserts. 4. Their website lists the bar as having a lifetime warranty. 5. They are dust proof and require no user maintenance on the sleeve interiors ever. 6. The sleeve collars being slim are intentional and help with heavy weight distribution over the bars you compared it too. 7. Buying one allows USAPL athletes to train on the same bar that they compete with which I love as a competitor. 8. Etc, etc. Eleiko is WILDLY expensive and overkill for 99.99% of people but come on man... It is IPF approved and used at world championship competitions for a reason. It’s the gold standard (only drawback being bare metal shaft - but some competitors actually prefer that feel over SS). All due respect intended here truthfully, but maybe you are making assessments beyond your skillset on this one... This is a high caliber bar for high caliber strength athletes. It’s used at World’s for a reason. Just my two cents.

My garage gym is literally a barbell and bumpers and some rubber mats on the floor, I believe if you can manipulate a barbell you can gain an infinite amount of strength with it alone. You want cardio/endurance go take a hike but people saying its to expensive when no one is holding a gun to your head telling you to buy this bar

[@tamoko9430]

Yes but ROGUE OPB probably only two times in the Year available )))

[@skovborgras]

To determine which one is the stiffest you should look at the Youngs modulus, the second moment of area and and the length to the weight center(at a given load) at one end to the point of support. The second moment for area is the same since the bars are 29mm in diameter. I believe tensile strength referes to the stress which is usual seen as the highest point on a "engineering" stress-strain relation curve.

[@zehuazhang2604]

hey coop！ can you review about which plates are better bewteen rogue and eleiko？ thanks！or just give me some advise about this two

[@alexhobbins7491]

Nice looking bar, eleiko are known for their build quality and performance. Personally; too pricey for me, but if someone has the money and wants to a good bar that’s not Rogue, Rep fitness, Titan, etc. Their total choice

[@nealsmear]

Don’t want to be a know it all, but, not a lot of people know that stiffness is not related to tensile strength, it’s related to Young’s Modulus, this is fairly consistent for steel regardless of strength. It is proportional to diameter as you rightly point out. Tensile strength tells you at what point the bar will bend(yield), permanently.

[@masken5989]

the bar can hold up to like 1500kg and well its much better quality I think that rogue barbells feel like they are going to break at any moment and they just feel more like a toy haha well the texas deadlift bar (the real one not rogue) costs like 1000 euro so its also expensive but that barebell feels pretty solid but not as solid as eleiko barebells in my opinion.
