Next Gen Bearing Barbell Key Features

201,000 PSI Tensile Strength

  • Why 201,000 PSI? Research shows that this is the perfect tensile strength for weightlifting barbells. It is possible to heat treat something too much and while it may have tensile, it won’t have durability. The Next Gen Bearing Barbell utilizes the perfect amount of tensile combined with durability. Thank you science.

  • Manufactured, tested, crafted, and handled in the USA every step of the way.
  • From USA sourced steel to it's manufacturing in sweet home Alabama, the Next Gen Bearing Barbell is built from premium materials head to toe.
