Texas Deadlift Bar Review 

The beard makes me feel like I can trust your reviews more

Sumo + deadlift bar is the ultimate cheat code.

Awesome vid! I’ve had so many questions about this bar and you have answered them all. Thanks!

This may be most throughout bar review I've come across. Nice info. Thanks

some sumo pullers gauge the stance from the rings on the bar. I think thats why they have them

Great review as always❤️ i hope u review a Rogue Deadlift bar soon!

Thanks for that very good review mate I've ordered one 💪

I'm going to order 1 in the next couple weeks. I compete in the USPA but I had been planning on just pulling with my Chan Bar to make it a little tougher. Only problem is I have an old back injury around the left side of my L4/L5 and the stiffer bar tends to aggravate it.

Hey man I know this is kind of a broad question but I'm looking to buy two bars for my home gym. One for pressing(bench and ohp) and one for deadliftts. What two bars do you reccomend? Is a deadlift bar even neccassary if I'm not pulling 500+?

Would you recommend black zinc or chrome finish on the shaft? I’d definitely want to minimize oxidation but not sure if chrome would feel too “slick” to grip.

Excellent video as always sir. Can u please review more Powertools that vibrate however I think that's going to drive maximum traffic and views.

I use the nerl marks on the bar to allign my shins on the bar during sumo pulls!

Can you please try the elite fts sabertooth bench press bar please thanks

I am getting up in weight that a deadlift bar seems like a good investment. The new version of the Texas Deadlift bar has longer sleeves, but it also physically longer. Not much room to put he weight plates on when using my Rogue deadlift platform due to a wall on one side and my bumper plate horizontal storage on the right side. I guess I could lift at an angle on the platform.

does the texas deadlift bar have 2 inch center holes? I have olympic plates and am not sure if the bar would fit it or not

I have one idea, what about removing all weightclasses and use a formula such as Allometric Scalling to compare lifters. What rules should change to be fair for (almost) all of the lifters. e.g. DL bar preferentialy aids heavier weightclasses (because they lift more weight in absolute terms thus more bend) and most sumo pullers (Sumo's sticking point is almost always at the floor)

Nice info. Just first bumper plate is not for distance, it's for easier loading and unloading the rest of the plates. (technically it's for distance- not horizontal thou but vertical) lol

I know your not supposed to bench with the TDLB but when I say if you do touch and go with this bar on bench it’ll give you +15 because the whip will carry you a little bit, honestly just a fun experience

Its a fun bar but I've been in the middle of sets with around 700lbs on the bar and the whip gets me like crazy on the 3rd or 4th rep sometimes and ruins the set. I like training with a stiff bar and then maxing out with a deadlift bar. Good bar but tricky to use sometimes

What bar would you recommend for a budget home gym, that would be mainly used for the big three? Preferably with center knurling...

Could use it bench press too? Please answer love your video

Uh oh. Shots fired at sumo guys. 👍

Any idea on where to find one now days without the 2 month wait? and would you recommend a strong arm deadlift bar over a Texas bar?

Great explanation

Which one should I choose for a great bench press with great knurling that I can really grip

How does the whip compare to the new Synergee bar?

FROM WHAT YOU DESCRIBED, I THINK THE TEXAS BAR GIVES YOU AND EDGE TO SET, OR RESET YOUR LIFT WITHIN SECONDS...I LIKE THE IDEA

Deadlift bar is absolutely awesome for conjugate lifters using chains and bands. The shift in acceleration adds a big change to the lift in the power curve. Love mine. Didn't think it would be a big deal at lighter weights but it helps.

Hey Brandon. How is the play in the Texas Deadlift Bar sleeve compared to a snap ring design. Thanks in advance

very informative 👍🏻

Hey Brandon, would I see the benefits of this deadlift bar 450 lbs?

Since I’ve never used one and only pull 405 would it even flex? Any idea at which weight it could potentially become useful?

I’m keeping an eye out for a Rogue boneyard deadlift bar.

But DrDeadlift doesnt pull the slack outta the deadlift bar, he just pulled 959 yesterday and it doesnt seem to throw him off at all

Would love to see you do a side by side comparison and review with the Rogue Ohio Deadlift bar.

I need this bar

diggin the beard bud

great review as always. sumo joke made me giggle

Should me and my friend buy one

i like them cause i can wrap my hands around them better. i use hook grip and have small hands.

Just bought one of these for my local gym to have

Think I’m buying today, still little torn before this and rogue

I sumo deadlift 80 lbs less on texas deadlift bar and do 105 lbs less on a conventional deadlift, 50 lbs less on a jefferson deadlift , no less weight on a hack deadlift. The smaller diameter is also harder to hold I have 7 inch hands but 29mm bars feel best.

I have 3 cheap bars are worn out I lift for fun I just need a bar that last a long time

Can we talk about how much Brandon is looking like Michael Keaton circa Family Ties?

Solid Beard 💪

Personally I don't feel like you even get that much whip out of it until you have 500 pounds or more on the bar. But it definitely feels different.

I use the knurl marks to set up for a sumo deadlift so there is that

The beard gains are REAL. *swoon*

*OVER 90 Inches....Daaamn!*

I know for a fact I could pull more on a deadlift bar for the simple fact that the knurling actually does what it’s supposed to do

Gotdamn that beard is looking good son.

Would love to see Bryce @Calgarybarbell pull on a deadliftbar to prove a point 🤓

The powerlifting rings on a deadlift bar are good for sumo pullers to line up their shins into position, atleast for me and a few other people.

Why do you prefer the Texas Deadlift bar over the Rogue Ohio Deadlift bar? I have a deadlift platform that a very good friend made for me. I plan on using my deadlift platform as soon as I get my deadlift bar and weight. I would Thank you for expertise ...

Kind of disappointed in the process so far. I know that their bars are great and that’s why I bought one, but I ordered a Texas Deadlift Bar on April 12th and still have not received it yet. I’ve heard many people say they received theirs within a week. They haven’t even reached out to tell me anything about tracking. 😒

So I should bench with this bar

I like the video instantly when he mentioned about sumo. Lol

Dude, the massive beard is brilliant. ❤️

Nice bar. In Russia people call it "Texas Soft Bar" opposite to all IPF certified stiff bars.

Going back to see how you felt 3 years ago

So, this is your favorite black and ‘not so stiff’ shaft? I mean Barbell...

Sumo joke earned a like.

What would a hard core purist think?

Longer by 5 or 6 inches “Fresh”

I'm debating on this or the Ohio deadlift bar, thoughts?

you said "thinner shaft"

Holy fuck, this guy resembles Brian Shaw so much

Buddy Capps Bars : the Porsche 911 of Bars .

Best deadlift bar there is , just ask Larry Wheels.

Sooo you don't like sumo deads?

I came here for the shaft comments

You should have shown a clip of you pulling sumo 😅

YOU GOT GREY HAIR

A lot of sumo people use the rings to set up our stance

Usa cheat bar

watching and I don't even do deadlift because of my bad back.

One day you will be mine......

Everyone likes a good stiff bar

Texas Power Bar in front of a Massenomics flag.... coincidence I think not!

deadlift bars are cheating but that 27 measurement over 29 sounds nice af especially hookgripping with small ass hands

Sumo is definitely cheating... 😀💪

Ok lets get some facts straight first off. So this texas bar makes it alot easier to deadlift and super easier to deadlift in summo by 50 to 70 pounds and has already been proven so no arguement there. Also everybody who has world records from back in the day used a stiff bar meaning its alot harder to deadlift with a stiff bar vs a texas deadlift bar. Now there's a law suit going on right now towards more than half powerlifting federations to remove the texas deadlift bars and to use a stiff bar.

Ppl that pull on these are just insecure about their deadlift to begin with lmao

the powerlifting rings helps with my sumo stance, i use it as a guide.
