Intek Strength Olympic Power Bar – Women Features & Highlights Hard Chrome – Chrome is a cost-efficient plating that does a good-but-not-great job at fighting off oxidation. You won’t get the same feel as you would with a non-plated finish like bare steel, stainless steel, etc… but you get a nice blend of feel and rust resistance without the larger price tag. The matte finish is a cool-looking feature that is different from the standard hard chrome. 25mm Shaft – The 25mm shaft on the Intek Women’s Power Bar is standard for a female bar. This diameter is comfortable in the hands and generally ideal for a smaller hand. Bushings – The bar includes bronze bushings to promote a slow and steady spin, ideal for the big 3 lifts. Grooved Sleeves – The grooved sleeves will tend to keep the plates on the bar better than a smooth sleeve when not using collars, but they will also be louder. No Center Knurl – The bar does not offer a center knurl, which is again standard for a female bar. This will be comfortable in high rep situations and front rack positions especially.
