ATX Competition Powerlifting RAM Bar 2.0 – IPF Approved

The original Ram Bar was my favourite bar and myself (Matt writing) and Simon (here) each had one at home. We always said, if it was 29mm, it’d be the perfect all-round powerlifting bar! Well, the ATX Barbell Club division of ATX listened, and while there’s really no need to better the Original Ram Bar, this one is better again – it has upgraded sleeves and bushings, a 29mm shaft with an evern coarser knurl, and is competition spec’d. It still has the same great feel, just maybe better again. These upgrades come at an extra cost, so this is the only slight downside – I now err toward this new RAM (2.0) as my go-to bar though.
