The Performance Training Bar is American Barbell's USA-made 28 mm hard chrome bar for Olympic weightlifting and general barbell training. Composite bushings keep the sleeves turning smoothly, and hard chrome on both the shaft and the sleeves protects the steel.
How it compares
Choose it over the Power Bar when the bar will see cleans, snatches and jerks: it has a thinner 28 mm shaft, Olympic knurl marks and no center knurl. For a needle-bearing sleeve, look at the Performance Bearing Bar. If you want a bare stainless shaft, look at the SS Precision Training Bar.

- Hard chrome, shaft and sleeves. One coating on the whole bar, on both the grip surface and the loading sleeves.
- Composite bushing system. High-strength composite bushings for smooth sleeve rotation.

How to read an American Barbell bar
- Diameter. 28 mm bars (25 mm on 15 kg bars) are made for the Olympic lifts. 29 mm power bars are stiffer and add a center knurl for squats.
- Sleeve rotation. Composite bushings give smooth, quiet rotation in American Barbell's multi-lift bars. Its precision needle bearings are used in the bars built for Olympic weightlifting.
- Shaft finish. Hard chrome and Cerakote are coatings. A stainless steel shaft is uncoated and resists corrosion.
