29MM TEXAS POWER BAR - Is this the bar we've been looking for? 

I don't need this bar, but I want this bar...so yeah, give me a few months and it will in my basement where it should be. Thanks for all your efforts to make this bar commercially available for the rest of us!

On point as always. I got mine last week and it is awesome. Thanks for helping to push for this 29mm version.

One take wonder! This dude's the GOAT in front of the camera.

Always wanted a Texas Power Bar and I finally will got this one. I love it. The black zinc with chrome sleeves looks beautiful. It did have a gouge by the middle knurling that made me sad but overall it's excellent.The knurling is more aggressive than my black zinc rogue power bar. thanks for all the work you put in Brandon. I visit Rhode Island twice a year and hope one day I bump into you.

A major Thank You for your efforts in getting Buddy Capps/Texas Power Bars to release the 29mm power bar! I was one of your followers who Emailed TPB's to request the 29mm power bar. On 12/22/22 I sent an Email to TPB's in support of your/our request. I was thrilled when I got an Email from TPB's on 5/31/23 saying the 29mm bar was now available. I truly believe that if it wasn't for Basement Brandon and your followers this bar would not have been produced. I will be ordering mine at the end of this month when I get my paid (retired, paid monthly ugh). Again, Thank You for your efforts! Great channel, great review. God Bless.

Thanks for the side by side shots in comparing the sleeves. It helps put things in perspective.

Love your videos Brandon! So glad you pushed for this bar so us lifters can experience it. Just received mine and it immediately became my new daily driver. It’s an amazing bar! Thank you!

If they made a stainless bar, it would be the perfect bar… maybe someday

Definitely need this Power Barbell, great review Brandon, and thank you for pushing this barbell on to the market 👊👍 much respect

This is awesome, I'm glad they made it!

Got delivery of my TPBV2. It shipped in 1 day and was delivered in 3. Black zinc/chrome sleeves. My other bar is an Ohio Bar, Stainless Steel (not the OPB) The TPB has a more aggressive knurl as Brandon mentioned. It is eating into my Ghost roller J-cups more than the Ohio Bar. The collars are thicker than the Ohio Bar, which I like because it gives me just a bit more room with the plates as I'm walking the bar back into the j-cups. I did buy this for the 29mm and agro knurl and I do prefer it over the Ohio Bar's 28.5 and lighter sand paper feeling knurl. I do like the TBP and I'm pretty sure this will be my main bar but feel like the Ohio Bar has a slight edge on overall appearance of quality. Note: I can't give feedback on whip/stiffness because I'm old and can't push those heavy weights like you all.

Sick looking bar, looks like I'm going to have to pick up one soon

Just had the bare steel version delivered. Great bar. Far sharper knurl than my other bars from TPB. Extremely sharp!

Strong as a house, maintenance free, and now 29mm??? I’m sold!

👏🏼 wow checked all the boxes in one take! You are the man! What a great bar, maybe as a gift to myself this Christmas

I got the bare steel with bare steel sleeves (yes I know Brandon I’m stupid) I didn’t have any bars with bare steel sleeves so I thought. Heck let’s do it. This bar is amazing. I personally like the knurl much more than the Ohio power bar. I like the slightly thicker collars (compared to 20kg Ohio power bar) for sumo, and it just looks banging. I’ve kept it oiled and clean for just over a week now I’ve had it and I absilirlt love it. I probably should have gotten the chrome sleeves, but I just wanted to give a shot to bare sleeves on a bar and see how that goes. Love this bar. 11/10

I got the TPB last week and I wanna vouch for the feel of the black zinc knurling. I was surprised on how good it felt because for years I heard your claims of the finish dulling the knurling but not in this case. Well made bar.

Awesome looking bar! A TPB has been on my list of barbells I'd like to get next. This may be the one.

Another little easter egg type thing that I noticed is depending on what color u get it changes the color of the ring around the logo on the end cap. My white one has a white ring, and my red one has a red ring.

I like that the narrower collars equal more loadable sleeve length. I’m very tempted to add this to my squat and deadlift Texas Bars.

Hey Brandon, I need your help with something -- going to buy the bar and I'm not sure which brush should I buy: Brass/Still, I'm going with the bare steel/chrome bar? I'm ordering outside of the US so should I buy like 3 so so I'll have a few backed up or it holds? How frequently should I brush the bar if I'm working out 6 days a week, no chalk and do I need to brush the sleeves and weights collars to keep it sterile? Thank you very much Brandon for all your help and information.

I pick one up in the Black cerakote. I think it’s the right choice for someone in an open air or humid garage area like we have here in TN. While, I am sure the coating dulls the knurling to some degree, but even with the coating I would still put in in that rogue aggro 2 area. It’s not quite as a aggressive as my Baresteel equipment bar which in the past we have discussed it might be like a Aggro 2.8.

I just bought the bare steel 29mm TPB and love it. So the other two bars I have are the original TPB in black Cerakote and the BOS barenaked bar. If you were to get rid of one, which one would you pick? I thought of maybe keeping the original TPB and using it as a deadlift bar....

Thanks for the videos and information.I have the chewy AB and really enjoy it. Got a Texas deadlift bar and love the knurl. Going to get a new bar, and push the Chewy for when I do higher rep counts. I’m thinking about this bar or the 2x Aggro bar. Those bars feel similar except 2x being stainless.

Been an owner of the texas DL bar for the last 5+ years and its been great and the knurl is still sharp. The only gripe is the black zinc is faded where I pull the bar up my on my shins. I might have to consider the bare steel version of this bar

Added it to my wishlist

Hi Brandon. Great content and review as I have come to expect from you. My main bar is a 20kg Rogue Ohio power bar. I have difficulty on my lifts clipping the uprights, I have a 43” width rack. It looked like this bar was spaced well off the uprights on your Rogue rack. Is that an optical illusion or do you actually have a couple inches space from each collar to the upright?

I'm debating between this and the new Rogue Hybrid Power bar. What do you recommend. Would love a comparison video.

Sounds like the perfect bar to start my own home gym with haha

what do you think of the texax 27mm bodybuilding bar? have you done a review?

I am waiting for the bar to arrive to Chihuahua, Mexico. Pull the trigger AND next day the bar was shipped, two days later was delivered in El Paso, TX.

I have a 3x3 Monster Lite rack that I have to put collars on then the plates so the barbell doesn't hit the uprights (your suggestion, Brandon, thanks!). Will this barbell clear them since the collars are moved in and seem to be less wide? Was gonna buy a TPB but would rather this model.

This bar is pure perfection for me.

Love TX power bar. Reminds me of when I started lifting in HS football.

On the edge between this and the OHP for my 2nd barbell. Guess ill have to wait for your comparison video to drop before i make a decision 😅

Cant decide between this bar in zinc or the ohio power bar in e coat, i live in NC and have a garage gym where the humidity shifts often. Which would be the better option for these conditions?

I was one of those people that weren't interested in a TPB because of the 28.5 mm Thickness. However, I now have a 29mm Red cerakote TPB. Like it so far.

So awesome, B!

Hey basement Brandon I bought the same version as you. The black zinc and chrome. However I noticed all throughout the shaft the black zinc seems to be missing in many areas where it looks like specks of silver. Looks like they missed a whole bunch of spots in the shaft in regards to even application of the black zinc. Does yours have this issue? Also this is my first non stainless steel bar. Dos black zinc last or wear off easily? I hope they make a stainless steel version

Ugh I’m so torn. I love my ISF lift evil bar and the knurl is insane on it! But I have a Texas deadlift and Texas 28.5……what to do what to do

Nice review as always. Unfortunately in the Pacific Northwest in a garage, bare steel and zinc are non-starters. My first bar was black zinc. Within a few months, fair amount of rust. Or maybe my garage is just special. Stainless steel for life.

Is the TPI similar to the AB chewy or Kabuki Power bar?

Brandon, do you know what collar measurement difference is between the OPB and this bar?

Contemplating selling my SS OHP, boneyard, for the bare steel version of this! Love my OHP but the 20kg collars being so thin aren’t my favorite. Am I crazy for wanting to sell my SS OHP bar for the bare steel 29mm TPB?

I just got this bar and I absolutely love it I love the aggressive knurling it’s crazy the difference between this and the Ohio power bar

My first entry into barbell lifting was with a Texas Power Bar, original in cerakote. I would eventually swap it to a bare steel one just by happenstance, and I just put my order in for this one. I like the bars. Why would I get a different one when I live in Texas and shipping is twenty bucks?

If they come out with a stainless steel version, it’ll be an instant buy for me.

I don’t know when I will be making another gym purchase, but this will be it when that time comes. I am in love. Cerakote of course 😉

Going to place my order! 🔥

Bare steel and chrome sleeves. 💙💪🏻 And yes. I emailed them about it when I saw the initial video. I’m an owner of their bench bar, squat bar, and deadlift bar.

I just bought the 28.5 I had given up hope . Love it anyway and am not yet to a weight that matters. Maybe one day

Great price point!

I wish they would make a stainless shaft texas power bar. I feel like when buying a high end bar goimg stainless is worth the price jump (like on the Ohio power bar). Coatings make the knurl worse and are worse corrosion resistance than stainless. Its a double win. Luckily I dont really need another power bar tho but some day when I have more space and can actually wall mount I'll prob end up with more bars. Currently I just have a stainless american barbell elite power bar and it checks all the boxes for me.

4:24. What combo rack is that?

Ima get me one of those down in oz one day. Maybe for my 40th in 4 years 😅

Both of my Texas Power Bars are Cerakote, and the knurling is still very aggressive in a good way for me.

If they do chrome that well, they ought to offer it with all chrome, like an American Barbell bar. Chrome, done well, is an excellent finish, IMO. Speaking of which, I was tempted to ask you which you liked better, this or the Chewy, but I will wait for the next video.

Double black diamond power bar or TPB?

With the price increase of the Hansu power bar... Texas 29mm power bar vs Hansu power bar?

Brandon, this bar is sexy stuff. The tax-free weekend is coming up in Massachusetts. 🎉

Are you picking this up more now as your daily vs your OPB?

How does it compare to your Oni?

I don't lift more than 225 pounds at the moment, will a power bar benefit me or should I wait until I'm stronger? I'm currently using a rogue Ohio bar. great vid btw Brandon!

Lakers look good on ya, dude!

Now those are reasonable prices for a new power bar. REP, who I love, comes out with their new power bar (Black Diamond) made overseas with a price of over $400, almost $500 to my door. I'm not a fan of REP's new price hikes and as much as I was looking forward to buying REP's new power bar, after I saw the price gouging I won't be buying it. I'm sure I'm not the only one says this. REP just priced themselves out of thousands of sales on the Black Diamond bar. It's not the money to me, it's the principle of hacking up prices. I just don't agree with it and I don't need another power bar, it would've been a grown up toy purchase. Might look at this bar as I don't have a Texas power bar. Nice job Brandon on the video!!!!!!

Can u buy it in the eu

I dont need. But imma buy it!

No affiliation link 😢 i feel as tho they should give you some kick back after so many years of your advocating for it lol

I am going to get one. Sold.

I don't need another bar but...

So they mispoke when they said 14TPI. Thank you for checking. :)

I wish they gave you a coupon code

Anyone know how tall Brandon is?

But does it beat the Titan Fitness Moby 🍆 Power Bar 🤣

Feed nana

The state outline would be sort of a waste if this were the Colorado or Wyoming Power Bar.

Whoa a lady got in your basement dude

Get your hands on a bodybuilding bar and review it! There is hardly any info out there about it.

6inches is enough

Leave skin on the bar = put skin in the game.

Skinny collars are 20x times better for bench great for squat. terrible for deadlifts in my opinion.

Hey Brandon thank you for the video, I have a garage gym with open air, no climate control or anything, what shaft finish would you recommend for me? thanks!
