I sold my Texas power bar last year, flirting with the idea of getting a monster squat bar. My shoulders lacked the flexibility to low bar squat with a standard bar.
I ended up buying an axle bar, Texas Squat Bar, Texas Bench Bar, and a Texas Deadlift bar. Admittedly, I only purchased the Squat bar (used) to resale.
The Texas deadlift bar is sexy in bare steel, but I have not adjusted to the flex of it and lift less than I did with a power bar. I will keep working on it.
The axle bar is great for presses and fun for deads, but it is a specialty bar that gets little use without me in a mood.
The Texas Squat bar literally sits in the barbell holder gathering dust.
But the star of the show is the Texas Bench Bar. I love press, bench, and squats with this bar. It feels amazing. Maybe that one mm difference is bigger than it seems. Always looking at it on the website, it seemed like a weird bar to get, but It is my favorite bar I have ever had
