Favorite deadlift bar

I just ordered a texas deadlift bar after a two year flirtation. I have never pulled with one, but I cant wait.

My texas power bar was fun for deads, but the knurling didnt feel too bad maybe because it was black zinc. Felt like shaking hands with spiderman; just grippy. So i went with the bare steel version for the deadlift bar to find out what all the fuss is about with the knurling.

My favorite bar to deadlift with was my old cheap xmark voodoo olympic bar. Knurling was passive, but i could still double overhand without hooking 405.

I recently bought an axle bar and love deadlifting with it also

Anyway, what have been your favorite bars to deadlift with?

Texas Deadlift Bar, no question. Worse is the Ironmind Apollon’s Axle, but that’s by design.

Since i really hate the conventional Dead …

The only bar i actually like for pulling is the Rogue TB-1 trap bar.
