That’s how we know these will be the best barbells you’ll ever put your hands on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Helios Squat Bar is a top-tier, specialty barbell designed specifically for squats. It features a longer length (94.5\" or 7.9’) than a standard 20kg barbell (87.4\" or 7.3’). This helps prevent the weight plates from hitting the power rack uprights while racking or unracking the bar. The squat bar’s shaft diameter is also larger, at 32mm, versus a standard powerlifting barbell, which is 29mm. The thicker diameter adds rigidity to the bar and minimizes whip\/flex during heavy loads for a more stable squat. Due to the longer length and thicker shaft diameter, the Helios Squat Bar weighs in at 25kg (55lbs), which is 5kg (11lbs) more than a standard 20kg (44.1lbs) barbell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Helios features a fully knurled shaft, which ensures maximum points of contact to create a secure connection to the bar. The 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h5 uppercase text-black\"\u003eTech
