“This bar is phenomenal! One knurled end to the other knurled end of bar, is around 30.5 inches. With the weight maxing out at 195LBS there isn't uneven pressure or sore spots to worry about from having a shorter bar. To take workouts further I use a certain pro set of thick handle grips with great results too. I'm sure the photos will be updated soon to reflect it but the Block is now black, which matches perfectly with my set.
To recap the specs for those wanting the most compact gym, the total bar length including the polypropylene pins inserted is right around 52 inches. Overall useable bar to grip length is around 30.5 inches.”
“Purchased the Elite USA Straight Bar to expand options for including my set of Elite USA Dumbells into my routines. I got exactly what I was hoping for. Simple and well constructed design that plays upon the already flawless PowerBlock concept that allows me to have an additional straight bar in my garage gym. Easy weight swap outs during exercises such as rows and deadlifts make this ideal for both efficiency and space when working out in a home gym. Would love to see a PowerStand expansion for my current one to allow me to lift off and stow on the stand, really raising the bar so to speak.”
