Always a good video when Brandon is talking about shafts, snatches and jerks.
my man
Bought mine during Covid. It was the only place taking new orders, waited 3 months. I love it 4 years later!
awesome to hear!
Got to admit, the price you paid for that bar makes it kinda perfect no matter what. :)
I'm kind of intrigued with this one, but since I don't see me doing much oly lifting, I'll probably look at something else for a second bar.
Hah def happy to add it, will likely be ditching my ohio bar.
2 inches can mean a lot...on a bar...in terms of knurling.
especially on a black shaft.
Brandon Campbell Diamond truth. Although it's more about girth than length in my book. 28.5 mm seems like it would please most people though.
I read it with Brandon's voice ahah
Pops back up on thred. Awe the blue monster lite rack
Aha seems like so long ago
A all-a-round barbell so that means.
I can do calves raises and barbell curls with it ?!?
No you need a specialty calf bar for that, it's only $1000.
$1000 per calf.
Hey Brandon,
Not sure if you still have the bar, but if you can remember...
Are the sleeves grooved?
Did you clean and/or snatch with this bar?
You had the ipf rogue bar...how big a difference do the thick collars on this TAA bar make compared to the rogue?
Thanks a million. Buddy still taking orders so I may pull the trigger...Tired of waiting on everyone else to restock.
They're still several weeks behind. I know people who have been waiting for their TPB for almost 2 months. Sleeves are slightly grooved, collars on any Texas bar are going to be pretty thick, especially if comparing to a thin powerlifting spec one!
I'm in the market for a bar... had been leaning towards a Rogue but now thinking maybe Texas. Really haven't given Texas much thought because never really hear much about them. Thanks for the timely review.
I think it depends on what you are looking for. If you're looking for something to do the big 3 as well as a whole bunch of other things (and don't want super aggressive knurling) this would be something to consider. Rogue makes great bars as well though.
Brandon Campbell Diamond thanks for the info. Yes, I'm looking for a bar that can do big three and occasional OHP and hip thrusts.
Texas Power Bar is still my favourite bar.
I have a call with Buddy next week, he wants to talk to me about my video lol.
Brandon Campbell Diamond discount code incoming !!
My Texas power bar came in black oxide.. It didn't wear well either. So I took it apart then took a wire wheel to it... Night and day difference. It's great as a bare steel bar! Looks sexy as a bare steel bar too. I just have to wipe it down with some oil from time to time now. The bar is a work horse... I've abused it and it's still straight as an arrow. Very deep knurl... makes a man out of you.
Right on!
Nice review, bud. Looks like a nice bar. I love that iconic TB look with the recessed caps and the thick collar. I'd love to see some other finishes on the shaft, but that seems unlikely.
I think they did make a chrome plated one as well but I'm not sure if they'll make that a mainstay in their offering.
Real men lift with Buddy Capps Texas Bars.
No reason to, much better bars out there now for powerlifting.
@@BasementBrandon Rouge is for girlie crossfit men.
No
Awesome review man! Thanks for the info. Also, could you do a review on the Texas Power Bar?
I'm sure I could.
Congratulations, I have one too. And still nothing by Rogue
Nice!
Looks like my Rogue 1.2 Ohio bar. You're right the black zinc does wear off.
Thanks for the feedback!
Who's Brandon Camel?
Hah just that southern drawl.
Great review Brandon. I am curious about your statement regarding the Texas deadlift bar. Not sure if I remember you reviewing this or the Rogue deadlift bar but I was wondering if you ever compared them.
I have used the Rogue but don't own it. From my experience (and feedback I've heard from others), the Rogue version is a tad more stiff. However it's also built a bit better IMO and comes with a better warranty if needed. I think the TDL is a better bar to get more out of, but it's also about $100+ more expensive.
Thanks for the feedback Brandon!
nice man! It's really cool that you got the first unit.
i know you're a powerlifter but I think it's cool that you got a multipurpose bar in your collection. I have the Ohio Bar in Stainless, which i definitely prefer over the thicker, stiffer, and sharp knurled power bars.
Yeah I bought the black zine ohio bar for a "multi" bar but haven't ended up using it much since it didn't have center knurling.
bbw shirt nice
Closest I'll get to one now
Hi Brandon, how does this compare to the SS bar they also make besides the finish? Is the knurling different? Which of these two do you think is better as per description they seem like the same bar. Thanks.
knurling prob feels a bit better as it's raw vs coated. I'd go with the cheaper one personally as the SS ones seem to up the price for no reason.
I seen the collars are a bit thicker on the ss at 3.25inch. I am also torn between the two .wonder if they have the same knurl.
Brandon how does the knurling on this compare to say the B&R bar?
Haven't used a B&R bar in years so hard to say
I stopped working out for like 8 months now , but I love the reviews on the equipment 👍🏽
Appreciate you still taking a look
The inner rings must be 32 inches and not 34 if you are talking bench press width? No way that is just one inch on each side if I had to guess. Nice review thanks for posting
Right
OK your video says 34 that's why I mentioned it
You should come out with your own bar Brandon. Call it diamond bar.
comes with a box of tissues to dry your tears.
Brandon Campbell Diamond cuz its so bad ass
Hi Brandon ;) How do you compare the black zinc of OPB (looks like painting..) with that of Texas bars ? Texas Bars looks much more natural, thiner, more like black oxide treatment than a form of coating (altought its not advertised as black oxide)... Do you think the finish of texas bars feel more like bare still than the zinc of OPB ?? Also, does the texas bars finishing lasts longer than OPB zinc ? Thank you once more ! Cheers from Brasil!
They both are similar and will wear over time, the TPB sleeves are usually raw and wear much quicker however.
Ayee I have the same shirt, oak and kiger killing the game
BBWs
What do you think about the Texas Squat Bar? Is it worth having? Or is better the Rogue Squat Bar?
Depends, both can be great. Texas has more history and is more aggressive. Rogue has a full knurl and better finish.
Is the All American bar ok for doing deadlifts on or should I purchase the Texas deadlift bar that’s specific for deadlifts? I would like to know your suggestions
The all american bar can be used for all lifts, so no issues doing deadlifts with one.
If only they would sell rebuild kits for the bar, got a Texas deadlift bar that has the brass bushings basicat non existent at this point. Tried to contact Texas a bit but no reply at this point
Try through their IG, they've been super responsive.
Do you have issues with any of your black coated bars, with the finish coming off? I have a 1 year old rogue ohio 2.0 and the finish is almost pure silver in the unknurled section. Very disappointed.
My black zinc WPB def started to fade and have seen OPB in the wild that were basically stripped.
If one were to "Snerk" ©, how's the spin on the collars?
Not the best
Best All Around Bar there is! Shout out to Buddy Capps! Everything is bigger and better in Texas, boys n girls!
Not even close lol
@@BasementBrandon Name one bar better ??? Cant be done.
Edison b&r
@@BasementBrandon Gimme a break. Bare steel, no whip. Hell no!
@@PokerStarsPA brandon is just a tpb hater. ... These are great bars despite how much he tries to hate on them. He hates on them because of specs... Then uses the bar and you can tell he was conflicted because the knurl was good and he expected it to be whippy.
I guess when rogue treats you like a king, it's hard to say you like other manufacturers
I have made up my mind to definitely buy the Texas Deadlift bar (I just pulled 233kg today with a TDB and I am 53) but, I am undecided on a bar to bench with and I truly value your expertise. I stopped doing squats about a decade ago. I want to use this bar for shoulder press, bench press (I only bench 315lb but can do more), close grip bench is 315lb, What bar is the best in your professional opinion for this middle age Brother benching over 315lb
I still think the value and quality of the Ohio Power Bar are tough to beat.
Do bars get whippier over time (lets assume Ray Williams squat bar), might be a dumb question idk
I think that's the thought, but not sure if it's true.
Looks like it compares to B&R bar, but with a diff finish
Yeah it's similar although slightly less diamter. Could also compare to a Chan or Ohio bar, just depends
Tks for your time. It this the same with Texas power bar?
Which part?
Hello Brandon, In your opinion whats the best all around bar to buy for home gym? I powerlift and looking to buy something not to expensive, please let me know. Thanks,
OPB!
Brandon has been using this bar twice a day every day for the last 2.5 years.
Nah sold it.
Im a power lifter between the Texas bars vs the rogue west side power bell which do you recommend I want really aggressive knurl
They both are aggressive, main difference is the Rogue bar will be stiffer.
Nice review only part you didn't take into consideration about the whip is you're using calibrated kilo plates. If using metal plates or bumpers like in that overlaid video I bet it would be whipping all over the place. 🤷♂️
Well to be fair I was meaning whip compared to using my power bars and DL bar with kilo plates :)
Reminds me of a chan bar with more grip by the legs.
That might be a good comparison too, the Chan to me just has such passive center knurl it might as well not be there lol.
Did you keep this bar through your move?
This was one of the ones to go!
What exactly is different about barbells with snap-rings?
Easier to take off and clean IMO
Have you tried this bar for any oly lifts? I’m curious how it stacks up to the Ohio bar.
Can't say I have, I will say the ohio bar has better spin on the collars
What type of j-cups are you using on the front post to rack after you squat?
Ones that I had a welder make me. They have rollers built in to them.
how many deadlift bars do you own? maybe it'll be cool to do a comparison with each
KEKistani i just own one but have used the okie and rogue versions as well
Hey I’m getting a barbell thats 28mm 205k Psi and only using it for powerlifting, is that good enough?
I prefer a 29mm bar for powerlifting as 28mm will have more whip under heavy load. Can be felt most on squats.
@@BasementBrandon Ok, would you prefer a zinc or hard chrome finish for power lifting?
Hello. So question for you what's the difference from this bar vs their Texas Bodybuilding Bar vs their Texas Power Bar. I got to a commercial gym, 24hours 😂. Thanks in advance. ✌
Knurling, diameter, knurl marks.
@@BasementBrandon So, if I do the basics: dead lifts, squats, bench, and hang power cleans & power cleans along with "bodybuilding" movenments, what would you recommend? Thank you on advance.
@@soldragon666 If you want a bar from this company, I'd go with the all american bar or one of their starting strength bars.
@@BasementBrandon Great. Thanks for the advice and taking the time to answer my question. I appreciate it.
Where can I learn about their barbells?
They post some "history" videos on their IG stories.
Dayum. Auspicious...
You think?
hey Brandon. Im looking to add a second 28.5 bar. I do WANT a center knurl. Im up in air between this all american and the rogue chan bar. any thoughts on these 2?
depends how passive you want the center knurl. Chan bar is more passive in the center than it is on the sides.
Brandon Campbell Diamond ok. i think ill try the all american
Did you end up getting the AA Bar?
Why when I search for the Texas BENCH bar nothing comes up? I get that it's probably not in production but I'm trying to figure out the weight specs
Not released, so no specs. Even on their released bars they don't give a ton of info
@@BasementBrandon oh wow I didn't know that. I just used one this morning at Marc Lobliners gym here in Cincinnati but couldn't find anything on google at first. Found a deleted page image search that confirmed my suspicions that it was a 55lb bar at least
Sure it wasn't a squat bar?
@@BasementBrandon 100% positive. I squatted with the squat bar just before, but grabbed the bench bar for my other work. And I scrutinized the end cap because I was trying to find a kg or lb marker
@@BasementBrandon it's a longer bar with thicker collars like the other bars but the center knurling is narrow like a normal bench bar, and unlike the wider knurling of the squat bar
"Snerk" 😂😂
you know it
Nice
And you can do it 💪
Lol thanks!
Is this bar good for power cleans ?
Some people don't like the center knurl for cleans.
congrats on winning the first bar.
Yeah not every one was as happy as I was.
If you only have one barbell in your garage gym, this is the one to get.
Disagree, doesn't even make my top 5.
Brandon Campbell Diamond please do tell!
"If you're snerkin', you're werkin'" Put that shit on a t-shirt
Lol
sending love!!
J!
Will you ever do a review on the Texas squat bar?
If I ever get one.
a waste of money if none of us squats over 600 and its only suited for one purpose
If you compete in a fed that uses squat bars, then I could see it being worth it. Definitely has a different feel, and I don't squat 600, so it helps to be under one.
How long did it take to revive the bar ???
Which one?
Texas All American Bar is much better than a Rouge 2.0 bar or Ohio Bar.
No
@@BasementBrandon It's just as good. 2.0 bar has weak knurl and none in the center.
@@philivey4105 The all american bar has weak knurl as well, it also costs about $25 more to get similar finishes. The biggest issue with Texas bars is their thick collars cause the bar to whip more under heavy load. I would agree it's comparable to the 2.0 bar, but the Ohio bar is much better overall.
How did you win the first bar?
They had a contest. I entered.
cool
Thanks for taking a look
Why is everyone hiding the fact people say this bar is actually 55 pounds why doesn't anyone talk about it.always talking about irrelevant things.its like people are trying to hide it or something.I want to know if the Ohio power bar is also 55 and if the Texas power bar is really 55.
No it's not lol. It's 45lbs.
@@BasementBrandon yeah I thought it was the Texas squat bar that's 55 my mistake
The knurling is like Baby Bear's porridge.
You think? Too passive for my liking.
@@BasementBrandon
As I recall you said in the video that it was neither overly passive or aggressive.
@@palabrajot505 I like a pretty aggressive knurl, so even though it's probably a 5 out of 10 on aggressiveness, it's too passive for my liking. Does that make sense?
@@BasementBrandon
I've only had the luxury of a decently knurled bar once or twice in my life. That goes for home equipment and the shit that most commercial gyms provide. On the rare occasions when I've used good bars with aggressive knurling, the difference was noticed and appreciated. At present, I'm patiently waiting for my Texas Power Bar to arrive and it is expected to be a bar that I will have for the rest of my life. If I do add bars in years to come they will likely be Rogue or Kabuki. Regardless, even a substandard gym bar is better than the cheap Cap 3 piece bar I've been using since the day before the world went on lockdown. In any case, my initial comment was simply pointing out that you implied that the All American Bar's knurling was something of a sweetspot for the general strength trainer who isn't focused on one specific aspects of the iron game, be it powerlifting, olympic lifting or even bodybuilding.
Wow congrats
I just bought a SS bar from them.
Nice!
I was surprised to see the outline of Texas on each end of the bar, I figured that Rogue with its Ohio outlines would have copyrighted that particular schtick.
R32R38 the Texas bars did it first.
I think Rogue actually copied that idea from Buddy Capps. It's been on the Texas Power Bars for years...well before there was an Ohio Power Bar. Edit: Just saw Brandon's reply...beat me to it.
I have a texus power bar and i live in Australia. The kurning was to sharp for me i filed it down.
Good bar buy one over cheap shit bars.
I never found them too aggressive personally.
if ur jurkin ur wurkin
Going for a new PR every day...am I overtrainng? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
rpe 10 cuz u dont ave any left in the tank
must be twerkin
'in/by my estimation'
yep
You looked okay on your 457lb squat in this video!
More whip than other bars.
@@BasementBrandon Better for snerks and deadlifts
