These barbells were over 10 years in the making – the fusion of customer insights, rigorous testing, thousands of reps by different types of athletes, and decades of experience in both lifting and designing quality, innovative gym equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Helios™ squat bar is a top-tier, specialty barbell designed specifically for squats. It features a longer length (94.5\" or 7.9’) than a standard 20kg barbell (87.4\" or 7.3’). This helps prevent the weight plates from hitting the power rack uprights while racking or unracking the bar. The squat bar’s shaft diameter is also larger, at 32mm, versus a standard powerlifting barbell, which is 29mm. The thicker diameter adds rigidity to the bar and minimizes whip\/flex during heavy loads for a more stable squat. Due to the longer length and thicker shaft diameter, the Helios™ squat bar weighs in at 25kg (55lbs), which is 5kg (11lbs) more than a standard 20kg (44.1lbs) barbell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLONGER LENGTH:\u003c\/strong\u003e The longer length of the Helios™ squat bar, compared with a traditional 20kg barbell, prevents the weight plates from hitting the uprights of the power rack while racking and unracking the bar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHICKER DIAMETER:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Helios™ squat bar has a thicker, 32mm diameter that adds rigidity and minimizes whip\/flex during heavy loads for a more stable squat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePREMIUM FINISH:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Helios™ squat bar is offered in a black Cerakote shaft with Duracoat® sleeves for a distinct, blacked out look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSMOOTH SLEEVES:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth sleeves are easier and quieter to load than ribbed sleeves, and the bronze bushing construction is great for slower, strength-focused lifts, like squatting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDEEP MOUNTAIN KNURLING:\u003c\/strong\u003e The shaft is fully knurled with very aggressive, deep mountain-style knurling to ensure you have a secure connection with the bar while squatting, and the knurl markings help you get into proper position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHIGH-END TOUCHES: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis is a premium barbell with high-end details, like laser etchings of the barbell name and weight; a tribute to Colorado, where REP was founded, on the inside of the sleeves; and metal endcaps featuring unique designs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBar Use: Powerlifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 25kg (55.1lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 94.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoadable Sleeve Length: 17\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft Diameter: 32mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Diameter: 50mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBushing\/Bearing: Bronze Bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Style: Smooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnurl Style: Deep Mountain\/Very Aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter Knurl: Fully Knurled Bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnurl Markings: Powerlifting Marks w\/ Center Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft Coating: Black Cerakote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Coating: Duracoat®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhip: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatic Rating: 1,500lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensile Strength: 200ksi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTolerance: 1%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"REP Fitness","offers":[{"title":"Black Cerakote","offer_id":40859207532593,"sku":"REP.HELIOS.25","price":474.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/7028\/5361\/files\/helios-25.png?v=1765124092","url":"https:\/\/nurthernfitness.com\/products\/helios-squat-bar-25-kg","provider":"Northern Fitness","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
