New Powerlifting Bars | What is the Best Barbell for Your Home Gym
The Double Black Diamond Power Bar is REP’s top-tier powerlifting barbell with very aggressive knurling. REP was founded in Colorado, and the Double Black Diamond name references the steepest and hardest runs on the slopes. This 20kg (44.1lb) barbell features deep, mountain-style knurling to provide maximum grip for heavy bench presses and deadlifts, and center knurling to keep the barbell in place during back squats. It also has IPF-standard knurl markings to help you get into proper position for your lifts, and it features smooth sleeves for easy loading and unloading of the plates. This power bar has a stiff 29mm diameter, which complies with International Powerlifting Federation standards.
Bronze bushings allow for consistent rotation, while ensuring incredible strength and stiffness to withstand heavy loads. In fact, this bar can handle up to 1,500lbs. The Double Black Diamond comes in six styles: fully stainless steel; a stainless-steel shaft with hard chrome sleeves; or a black, blue, green, or red Cerakote shaft with Duracoat sleeves. Duracoat is a chemical process that hardens the outside of the steel, making it more wear resistant than other finishes while also adding a high degree of corrosion resistance. The bar is topped off with premium metal endcaps with unique designs. This is a powerlifting barbell that stands out from the rest.
The 20kg Colorado Bar was made with a 28.5mm diameter shaft and smooth sleeves for easy loading and unloading of weight. Composite bushings provide a smooth and consistent rotation with added durability. The bushings also create a dampening effect that reduces noise if you drop the barbell. The Colorado Bar is finished with premium, metal endcaps with unique designs and laser-etched branding on the inner sleeves.
The Helios Squat Bar is a top-tier, specialty barbell designed specifically for squatsThe very aggressive knurling cut into a deep, mountain-style pattern also has powerlifting knurl markings and a center marking to help with proper positioning. The Helios Squat Bar is offered in a black Cerakote shaft with Duracoat sleeves for a distinct, blacked out look. Duracoat is a chemical process that hardens the outside of the steel, making it more wear resistant than other finishes while also adding a high degree of corrosion resistance. The sleeves feature a bushing construction, which is great for slower, strength-focused lifts, like squats. And the sleeves are smooth, so they’re easier and quieter to load than ribbed sleeves. This bar is rated for 1,500 pounds, and we have tested it with some of the strongest people on the planet. Take your squat PR to the next level.

I may have to pick up a Double Black Diamond. Been rolling with a Rep Sabre for 8 years now, but I'd like to have that center knurling for squats and add some colors for my barbells.

[@NoFate247]

It looks fantastic. What color would you get?

[@path4061]

@@NoFate247 I like that Red + Black. I'm going to be getting a 6 post PR4000 in Red & Black also. I wish I would have thought of the black and red scheme when I bought my AB5000 a year ago - I would have ordered that in red, but I had just gone with the standard black for the bench.

Yeah that'll be a life long barbell

Yeah the space savings is crazy when you compare it to an additional functional Trainer

I ponied up and blew my wad on the full stainless steel double black diamond. This will be my first real nice bar, and after testing it at Home Gym Con, I knew I had to have it.

[@jasondobson7719]

I have the BOS Bare Naked power bar and ISF deadlift bar and love them both! With all the other bars costing twice as much as what I have, I just feel that those bars aren't twice as better.

If you have a bar you like no need to upgrade. I still love my black Sabre bar and use it for everything

“Home gym multiverse” is great

Different strokes for different folks

[@joecowan3719]

Nice rundown Captain Ahab. So many options for bars these days, I wonder if REP will provide discounts on theirs if you bundle it with a rack and plates. One cart checkout for those uograding their gym.

[@NoFate247]

I hope so. Like when companies reward big purchases. Might be able to get a discount if you buy in person...maybe PA road trip?

Holy topic coverage Latman! There's so much to discuss, I forgot most of it. You did say you grabbed the golden Moby Dick? I laughed when it 1st popped up on screen, then it started giving sexy winks and won me over.

I don't collect barbells. I don't really see the need to. I have an olympic bar and a power bar. However, if I did collect barbells, I really like that TITAN bar.

[@NoFate247]

Titan does stand out but hoping it performs nearly as good as the photos look

[@carps_gym]

Here for the Shaft Talk!

[@NoFate247]

Two things in life that give ultimate satisfaction. Slapping a bag of dirt at home depot and rubbing barbell shafts like you are reliving your teenage years 😂

[@samrmills]

I’m posturing to make room for a red double diamond . Something mental about using a red shaft on heavy lifts from experience…not sure what it is…but I like it. Have you ever lifted with a nice red barbell?

[@NoFate247]

No the ones I got before looked much better online than in person. Hoping this db diamond is the charm

[@samrmills]

What kind of Colorado did you order? Do you know if REP has offered cerakote before? What do you think about cerakote these days? Saw your synergee cerakote video…use it much ? How’s it holding up? Blemishes? I’m afraid of worrying about babying a barbell for blemishes Haha that was a lot of question marks

[@NoFate247]

I got the cerakote Colorado bar. I don't believe they've ever done cerakote before. Liked the Synergee Cerakote but had to sell it to make room for more gym equipment. It held up ok while I had it. Def. different "levels" to cerakote with some companies doing better than others. If you're worried aobut blemishes go SS.

[@samrmills]

@@NoFate247 thx for the insights! Double diamond in SS PRE ordered…I’m back and forth with the Colorado in HC or Cerakote Red. Colorado not available in SS

[@babygiantbarbell1014]

Every bar you covered is fascinating. If Titan can deliver it in good working order, the Mobey Dick Power Bar looks super cool and is priced pretty well. Also, it is cerakote so way cooler (don’t @ me Brandon 🫶). The REP squat and deadlift bars are cool, and I love their endcaps. The 29mm TPB is my favorite release!!! Exciting times!

[@NoFate247]

Titan may have a great power bar or just a quick grab of people's money for a bar that looks flashy but isn't backed with quality

[@TrainerBigMike]

Bro REP Fitness is the shit! I wish I could convince myself to pay the little extra for their products 😅

[@NoFate247]

Money management is a serious thing. I am very cheap but often don't mind with gym equipment cause the life span is so long

[@TrainerBigMike]

@@NoFate247 straight up facts

[@markhalstead2386]

I am in the market for a deadlift bar and Hades has my eye. Helios is another interest that I don’t need, but would love to have in my gym. Hades is a most likely buy and Helios is a possibly buy. I am satisfied with my Rogue stainless power bar, so I am not in the market for one.

[@NoFate247]

How long you been rocking that ss rogue? That thing does it all huh?

[@markhalstead2386]

@@NoFate247 Two years, but never used it for deadlifts. Just bench and squat.

[@l0rd0f0xygen]

That titan bar is giving me flashbacks to the disaster that was the midas bar from fraud sport. I've yet to handle a rep fitness bar that I liked for the money. There is currently no reason to buy anything other than an ohio power bar. It's better than everything else on the market for that kind of money.

[@NoFate247]

Funny cause when I saw the Moby dick bar I am like please don't be like the midas bar! There is something to be said for getting an Ohio power bar, haven't heard any real complaints about that tried and true bar

[@fivefalcon6010]

How about the Rogue Ohio Power Bar?

[@NoFate247]

I mentioned that for price comparison but it is definitely a beloved power bar in the community. What bar do you use?

[@jamestonbellajo]

I think a lot of people will buy REP’s new bars because they have a lot of fanboys, but to be honest, they’re not really compelling for the price. You can buy American made versions of those bars from Rogue that are proven to be good for not much more. So if you’re going to go with imported bars, you might as well go for something cheaper unless you just want a cheaper deadlift or squat bar and at least with a deadlift bar, you can still find a proven imported option that’s cheaper in ISF and maybe some others. Honestly it seems like the contract ended with their old supplier that made their old bars (Sabre, Deep Knurl, etc.) so they’re just using this new opportunity to over market and overhype. For remakes of what they already have, they aren’t much better than what they already have/had. Mostly just different. For the net new bars, there are just better options for the price. Pass from me, clearly.

[@NoFate247]

I do agree if their prices get too close to similar American made offering, then you should go American. Rep's options do come close to Rogues offerings. I can't speak to the quality of rep since I haven't even gotten a chance to touch them

[@jamestonbellajo]

@@NoFate247 I’m sure the bars will be a good but their current bars are great so I doubt they’ll be vastly superior, at least when we’re talking about Colorado vs. Sabre and Black Diamond vs. Deep Knurl. I do appreciate REP marketing everything the way they do and when the product is a home run like the Ares or Athena, it looks great. But when they’re hitting singles and doubles (again, not bad products but not home runs either) like with these bars and some other products, the marketing feels more cringey.

[@ak-zw8jv]

How did you get 10% off at titan? I usually try to find random coupons online but nice that they sent one to you. I want the moby dick bar solely because its price point and cerakote finish.

[@NoFate247]

They randomly send them out to people who bought in the past but haven't in a while. I got it like 4 months ago but never used it. Came through via email
