Curl Bar

No, this curl bar is not designed to be rackable. REP does offer a rackable version though.

REP’s barbells are designed to work with any standard plates with 2” diameter center holes.

 Both bushing and bearing sleeves produce sufficient sleeve rotation, but ball or needle bearings allow for a faster, smoother, quieter spin and have a more reliable turnover for maximum loads, which is a better fit for Olympic-style lifts. By comparison, a bushing sleeve is more efficient for powerlifting movements, which are slower and more strength focused.

Stainless steel is a higher grade of metal. It is more resistant to rust than chrome or zinc-finish barbells and more aesthetically pleasing.

You’ll want to remove dirt or chalk from the knurling with a brush and oil on a microfiber cloth. You also should occasionally remove the external sleeve to oil and fully clean it. Check out the REP Barbell Maintenance Video in the Video Gallery section above for more information.

Yes, the hard chrome comes with a 5-year warranty, and the stainless steel comes with a lifetime warranty*.
