Texas Power Bar
Anyone know a website where I can get one at a reasonable cost? I want a black bar too not a chrome one.

New york barbell sells them for about 130$ they are tested to 100lbs . Only thing i dont like is that they have no rings on them to figure out your grip.

Elite has excellent stuff but that doesn't mean you always get the best bang for your bucks on everything they sell. Save $53.75 and get it from Eric's Gym. That's where I got mine.
Oh, and by the way, I'm pretty sure NewYorkBarbells does not sell Texas power bars. However, they do sell 1500 lb rated bars.

Haha, great thread. I was all set to order a bar or two this Friday from here:
http://www.adamantbarbell.com/index....c386172edd2911
You just saved me 26 bucks or so. Too bad I can't rep 19george or Skinnycalves till I cover the spread. Thanks for the work though!!!!!!!

For training I highly recommend the Jesup power bar.
http://www.jesupgym.com/products.htm?cid=12
OPB86M 7' Olympic Power Bar (B)
1500lb test. Has a center knurl and roll pin ends. There are no bolts to come loose and with deep knurl this bar is built for the toughest use.
Our Price $165.00 Delivered; $135.00 In Store Pick Up
Best bang for the buck. Very stiff, awesome knurling, and stands up to abuse.

it should be noted that the jesup gym bar is made of slightly lesser quality steel so it is thicker, other than that best bang for your buck
