The Original Texas Squat Bar - Now available from within the UK at a great price. The Texas squat bar is one of the best there is, and has been designed to last unlike generic/cheaper bars. The Texas squat bars were developed by Buddy Capps (a Texas powerlifter) more than 30 years ago and have become the standard in powerlifting. The Sleeves are made up of one piece construction with no bolts to lose and have brass bushings that never require maintenance. This bar can be put into any application without worry, one of the strongest most robust bars on the market, and virtually maintenance free. Manufactured by Capps Welding, and coated with zinc oxide which means they're not slippy and weakened (which it is believed the process of chroming does), but they are not prone to rust like the standard 'unfinished' Texas Bars.
