superbeast Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Anybody used one of the Black Iron Strength thick bars with rotating sleeves? I am thinking of getting one of these for power cleans, etc. Quite pricy, so I am hoping to get a few opinions by others who have used one before making the purchase.

cbr454 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 They're top quality. I've used mine for four years and can't complain. I don't know how they hold up to dropping. Roger LaPoint at Atomic Athletic claims they're tough, but he sells them. The sleeves on my bars measure 1.975" and so use of "competition" plates and collars won't work. If that's not an issue for you, I don't think you could go far wrong with Black Iron fat bars. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
