I recently designed a new bar for the bench press. In the past I have had issues with not being able to touch, because the bar would bend to much. Another issue was the spotters had no where to hold the bar at the ends. Hopefully, this will fix all my issues. The bar is 10 inches longer than the normal Texas Power Bar and is just slightly thicker. I will let you all know how it does after the weekend.

Loaded 1112 on the bar. Hardly any bend at all and plenty of bar left for spotters to grab. Should be a fun weekend.

That is the picture with 1112 on the bar. Not much of a bend and lots of room at the end for the spotters.

Thank you for posting the pictures. Again, 1112 on the bar. And just to let you know the bar does weigh 55 pounds, but it is just a little bit thicker than a normal Texas Power Bench Bar. The ends are 5 inches longer on each end.
