Raising the bar. These barbells were over 10 years in the making – the fusion of customer insights, rigorous testing, thousands of reps by different types of athletes, and our decades of experience in both lifting and designing quality, innovative gym equipment. That’s how we know these will be the best barbells you’ll ever put your hands on.
The Delta™ basic bar is a high-quality, powerlifting/mixed-use barbell for lifters looking for great value and versatility. With slower-rotating, strength-focused, brass bushing sleeves, the Delta™ bar is perfect for powerlifting. But dual knurl markings (both International Powerlifting Federation and International Weightlifting Federation) make the bar versatile enough for whatever kind of lifting you’re doing.
This bar is 20kg (44.1lbs) with a 29mm diameter shaft, which also complies with IPF standards. Medium-depth, volcano-style knurling helps enhance your grip on the barbell for heavy lifts, but it won’t tear up your hands during higher-rep workouts. Center knurling helps keep the bar safely in place on your back during squats.  It’s made from steel with a bright chrome coating on both the shaft and sleeves, and the sleeves are smooth for the easy loading and unloading of weight plates. The Delta™ basic bar is compatible with all standard, 2”-diameter plates and can handle 700lbs of them. Note: If you’re looking for the next level up, check out the Black Canyon, a mid-tier, mixed-use barbell. If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line, mixed-used barbell, check out the Colorado Bar.
