Rogue IWF Olympic Weightlifting Bar – Bright Zinc The Rogue IWF Bright Zinc Oly Bar is an IWF-Certified Olympic weightlifting bar made in the USA with a lifetime warranty. Equipped with a 28mm shaft, Olympic knurl marks, needle bearings, a center knurl, and a 215,000 PSI tensile strength, it’s spec’d to handle all of your Olympic weightlifting needs. It is virtually the same bar (with the same price) as the Bright Zinc Oly Bar except it’s IWF-certified and it includes a center knurl. Here are some further details about the bar: Features & Highlights Bright Zinc Finish – Bright Zinc is a cost-efficient plating that does an OK job at fighting off rust. 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 good blend of feel and rust resistance without the larger price tag. IWF Certified – This bar has been approved by the International Weightlifting Federation to be used in competition. The IWF emblem is embossed in blue on the shaft. 28mm Shaft – The 28mm shaft will generate great whip and it’s consistent with Olympic Weightlifting standards. Center Knurl – The IWF Bright Zinc WL Bar from Rogue does include a center knurl. Tensile Strength – This bar offers an impressive 215,000 PSI tensile strength, which stacks up very well against the competition. Grooved Sleeves – The sleeves on this bar have fine grooves that help keep the plates on the bar better when you’re not using collars. The downside is that grooved sleeves make an audible zip noise when loading/unloading plates. American Made – This bar is 100% made in America.
