Primal Performance Series 8 Needle Steel 680kg Rated
Primal "It’s Heavy" Steel Dual Olympic 8-Needle Barbell
Engineered for the toughest lifting demands, the Primal "It’s Heavy" Olympic Bar is a multi-purpose powerhouse designed for heavy powerlifting, Olympic lifting, and functional fitness.
Crafted with precision, this bar features 8-needle bearings plus a brass centre bearing, delivering an ultra-smooth, reduced-friction spin that excels under heavy use. Built from steel tested to an impressive 190,000 PSI and machine-tested up to 1000kg, this bar offers unmatched strength and durability for even the most demanding lifts.
The military-grade ceramic coating provides a best-in-class, chip-resistant finish that withstands harsh conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance. The bar employs dual knurling at 1.2mm for secure grip and stability, optimized for both power and Olympic lifting styles, with no centre knurl for enhanced versatility.
Designed with a balanced flex/whip, it springs back perfectly after every lift. This heavy-duty 20kg bar (15kg for the ‘Linda’ Pink Ceramic-Coated variant) is compatible with all standard Olympic 50mm plates and carries a warranty covering dropped lifts when used with quality bumper plates.
Ideal for commercial gyms, sports facilities, PT studios, or home gyms, the “It’s Heavy” Olympic Bar pairs perfectly with our Performance Series Urethane Bumpers, Coloured Rubber Bumpers, and Hi-Temp Grain Bumpers.
