Check out the NEW Oregon Power Bar HERE: kabukistrength.com/products/t...
In the latest review video, we dive deep into the newest addition to the Kabuki Strength lineup, the "Oregon Power Bar." This barbell isn't just another piece of equipment; it's a testament to Kabuki's relentless pursuit of innovation, built with techniques that break the mold. Every detail of the Oregon Power Bar is optimized for peak performance, especially in heavy lifting, making it an impeccable choice for powerlifters across all three major lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift.
At the heart of its design, the Oregon Power Bar boasts an impressive 190,000 PSI tensile strength paired with a 28.5MM shaft diameter, ensuring minimal flexion and reduced bar whip. This design philosophy extends to the bar’s gripping surface. The bar features Kabuki's signature "Kabuknurl" - a fully raised knurl pattern that's designed to grip the skin effectively without tearing it, thanks to its tacky, "cratered" design for maximum neural feedback with minimal skin damage. This makes the bar not only effective in performance but also kinder to the lifter's hands and back, with a center knurl that secures the bar during squats and a shaft diameter that aids grip in deadlifts.
Kabuki doesn't stop at performance; they've also redefined the barbell's finish. Shying away from traditional metal plating, Kabuki introduces the proprietary RAW Finish™, a unique blend of minerals and oils (dubbed "Bar Sauce") that treats the bar. This finish encapsulates the essence of "Repairable," "Anti-corrosion," and "Weatherguard" qualities, ensuring the bar remains in top condition, resistant to rust, corrosion, and the elements - a true innovation in barbell technology.
With competition-standard powerlifting marks, the Oregon Power Bar is designed not just for training but for competition, meeting the specifications for IPF & IPL contests. The technical specifications highlight the bar's all-purpose utility for training and competition, with a full center knurl, powerlifting-specific knurl marks, and oil-impregnated bushing hardware for durability and performance.
This barbell represents the pinnacle of powerlifting equipment, crafted with the athlete in mind from start to finish. From its RAW Finish™ to the innovative "Kabuknurl," the Oregon Power Bar by Kabuki Strength stands as a monument to what modern manufacturing and a relentless commitment to innovation can achieve in the world of strength sports.

Great review Kurt, my brother purchased the kabuki strength oregon power bar a month ago, it was shipped and delivered for $328.. i like the grippy knurl and the center knurl length, its awesome addition, i put this barbell in rotation. Indeed i agree with some who state about aggressive knurl, "some aggressive might be too much or too little for most" I prefer a sharp knurl. Again great review 👍👍👊

Bought this bar as my first Kabuki bar understanding it is more of an economic bar. The knurling is great and definitely is for someone who doesn’t like aggressive knurling aka my wife lol But I’ll stick with my Texas 29mm new power bar. I even checked the specs and TPB even beats out the steel tensile strength like you mentioned in the video.

Thank you for actually giving a detailed objective review with some real data - barbell slop, barbell deflection, knurl aggressiveness. There was a time last year that they were offering free shipping last year, have they walked away from that now?

How does the Knurl compare to your Duffalo Bar? More or less aggressive?

Not sure why but bare steel bars have always Felt better in hand than stainless steel.
@hitleractually8180
@hitleractually8180 4 месяца назад
I fully agree. Here is my theory as to why. Stainless steel is harder than bare steel. It chews up the tooling a lot faster than bare steel, meaning the tooling has to be replaced more often. I think it's a combination of the the material (in this case, stainless steel) being a harder surface and thus, not taking as well to the knurling process (the tooling just doesn't dig in deep enough, or whatever) AND the tooling getting chewed up really fast and thus, producing bars that were knurled with tooling that was worn down to start with.
@TheKurtlocker

I’m gonna have to pay a little better attention now. The issue is I have a stainless bar but it’s not the same knurl type as any of my Other bars

@danielpicerni24
@danielpicerni24 4 месяца назад
It’s almost impossible to describe knurling without feeling it. There isn’t really anything in everyday life that compares to it. Most commercial gyms have only passive knurled bars. Almost need to buy one with a recommendation from a reviewer.
@TheKurtlocker
@TheKurtlocker 4 месяца назад
I agree but what I intend to do is create a scale that applies universally. That way if you know what an OPB feels like, you can see where it scored and see what scored similarly. It’ll still be something that needs to be felt in-person, but it’s at least a little better
