YORK COMPETITION/WEIGHTLIFTING TRAINING BARS

These bars represent the epitome of over 60 years of barbell training experience.

These are intended for use by serious weightlifters.

Sleeves are machine finished to a precise 1.975 inch diameter accommodating for any 2” diameter Olympic plate. YORK OLYMPIC TRAINING BARS York Olympic “Training” bars are made with an exclusive finish from elavated temperature drawn tensile steel for maximum strength & flexibility. Sintered-ferous bushings, impregnated with oil, facilitate free and constant rotation of the bar without allowing counter-rotation of the weights.

YORK POWER BAR The YORK® “Elite” Power Bar has a minimum tensile strength of 195,000 PSI after heat treating. Only North American steel is used in the making of this bar.
