Solid Bar Fitness Midwest Bar with Black Zinc

The Solid Bar Fitness Midwest Bar with Black Zinc is a versatile, high-strength barbell designed to perform across a wide range of Olympic lifting, powerlifting, and general strength-training movements. With a 165,000 PSI tensile strength and an impressive 1,800 lb. static load capacity, this 45 lb. bar is built to handle demanding training sessions while maintaining a dependable, controlled feel.

The 28.5 mm shaft features medium diamond knurling for a secure grip without an overly aggressive feel. With dual knurling rings for Olympic and powerlifting, lifters can easily identify proper hand positioning for different movements. The bar does not include center knurling, providing a smooth center section for exercises where center knurl is not desired.

A bushing design provides smooth, low-friction sleeve rotation, while the available needle-bearing configuration delivers significantly more spin for lifters who prefer a faster rotating bar. The 15.25" loadable sleeves provide plenty of room for progressive loading, and durable steel end caps feature permanent markings designed to stay in place through years of use.

Finished in Black Zinc and built around a strong 165,000 PSI shaft, the Solid Bar Fitness Midwest Bar offers a balanced combination of durability, versatility, and performance for serious strength training.
