-bar The Ballista Bar is an Olympic weightlifting bar made by Rogue Fitness that's designed for both professional and amateur weightlifters. It's made of high-strength steel to ensure longevity and durability and boasts a fatigue rating of over 200,000 PSI. The bar comes in either a 20kg or a 15kg version, depending on the user's preference. The bar's shaft has a diameter of 28.5mm, which is considered to be thicker than the average diameter in order to provide better rigidity and whip. It features a dual-knurl pattern with coarse, deep knurling and no center knurl, which helps the user to maintain a strong and secure grip. It also comes with center knurl marks which come in handy when performing Olympic lifts such as the snatch and clean and jerk. The bar's ends feature two rotating bronze bushings as well as two quality needle bearings which help reduce torque. The bar also includes two stainless steel sleeve locks which help ensure that the weights remain firmly in place during heavy lifts. Overall, the Ballista Bar is an excellent choice for any weightlifter who's looking for a reliable and durable barbell that's designed for Olympic weightlifting. It offers great whip, knurl, and spin, making it a great choice for anyone who wants to take their lifting to the next level.
