HANSU 20KG POWER BAR RED 

Thanks for taking a look!

Thanks for taking a look!

Absolutely. I think I paid $310 or something close when they first released the 29mm bar. To see them go on sale was huge, and I truly think they’re the best bars in the game.

@@SteezySteez2011 The thing I love about Capps is there is never any doubt about the build quality and engineering. It always feels to me like you’re taking a chance on these newer players. The list of world records and accolades obtained using Capps bars is staggering. And to see them cheaper than almost all of its competition…. No brainer for me.

I like my TPBs, but they can be somewhat inconsistent depending on who's on the lathe and the tooling. The roll pin design also leads to a lower sleeve tolerance in my experience. But for made in USA and the history it's hard to beat.

@@BasementBrandon I really wish they did a stainless option. I’ve emailed them asking, but never got a reply.

I was a little disappointed my end cap didn’t have the IPF logo as shown on their website.

Hah all good, appreciate the kind words. Whenever I do a gym tour it's usually b/c I'm going to sell a bunch of stuff and need to document that I've owned it.

appreciate the firsthand feedback!

Garth has been dealing with moving into a new shop and unfortunately some personal things. Prob still a good 2-3 months out!

Interestingly enough this bar has better feel and is quieter than my OPBs. Maybe once they update the 20kgs to have the newer sleeves it will be more even.

Thanks for taking a look!

Cerakote seems to blunt the knurling somewhat.

As someone mentioned cerakote can blunt the feel a bit more and is typically more expensive.

​@@BasementBrandon Anybody that has lifted and been around as long as we have Brandon remembers buying black zinc bars because it was the 1st black bars made but then they faded so fast it was disappointing. We all know cerakote dulls knurling so you buy a bar with more bite, black zinc is not the answer for anything unless you're gonna keep the bar for 6 months-1 year.

@@bobbyhunt3009 Yeah I tend to try to set peoples expectations about black zinc, it's pretty low on my preferred finish options, but then again I know a lot of people prob don't care and would lift with a rusted POS.

Def unique!

Most of their bars now

Texas 29mm hands down. For pedigree alone. I would rather use a toothbrush than an OPB in a 49mm rack.

So out of all my bars I use my Hansu SS the most. However comp collars are a pain in the ass in my rogue rack.

I own all three. I'd rank them like this.... 1. SS Hansu - tightest sleeve tolderances of any bar I own. Longer center knurl is clutch for back squats. You don't understand how awesome this feature is, until you've used the bar. Great build quality. Very quiet bar. 2. REP DBD SS - second tightest sleeve tolerances of any bar I own. Outstanding mountain knurl. Really clean terminations. Feels like a more aggro KPB, but with much higher build quality. The laser etching on the sleeves is a nice fit and finish touch. Very quiet, great bar! Highly recommend if you like mountain knurl. 3. OPB - I have owned a ton of these and all have been underwhelming. Sloppy ass sleeves. Stainless versions ALWAYS have a more passive feeling knurl (with my AGGRO bar being the exception) than it's bare steel counterpart. Rogue is really bad about changing out the tooling often enough with stainless bars. So it's a roll of the dice, whether you'll get a good knurl or not. I love Rogue, own tons of their stuff. But their barbells are dead to me. I'd pick almost anything over a OPB.

Had to get this video done and uploaded as I had to send this off to it's new home lol.

I'm also somewhat colorblind so it could be blue for all I know.
