A Bar That Turns Over As Fast As You Do
The PRx Mako Olympic Barbell is built for the snatch, the clean and the jerk. Needle bearings in both sleeves spin freely the moment the bar leaves the floor, so the turnover happens when you ask for it instead of a fraction of a second later.
This is the bar for weightlifters, CrossFit athletes and anyone whose training revolves around the two Olympic lifts. If most of your session is squats and bench, a stiffer power bar suits you better. If you are catching bars overhead, the Mako is the right tool.
Key Features
Smooth, fast rotation through cleans and snatches so the bar spins instead of fighting your wrists.
The 28mm shaft flexes and rebounds under load, giving you momentum to work with on explosive lifts.
Far more bar than most lifters will ever need, with tensile strength of 190,000 PSI or better.
Competition-standard markings let you set the same hand position every rep, in training and on the platform.
A passive pattern that holds securely without tearing up your hands over high-volume sessions.
Shaft and sleeves are both hard chrome plated for corrosion resistance in a garage or basement gym.
Textured sleeve surface helps collars bite down and keeps plates from creeping during drops.
Standard 86.5in length and 16-1/8in of usable sleeve, so it loads and racks like the bar you compete on.
Description
Olympic lifting punishes equipment that cannot keep up. A bar with sluggish sleeves forces you to muscle the bar around instead of letting it rotate, and that shows up as missed lifts and sore wrists. The Mako solves that with needle bearings, the same rotation system used on competition weightlifting bars, so the sleeves keep spinning while you drop under the bar.
The shaft is tuned for high whip. Under a heavy clean the 28mm shaft bends and snaps back, and experienced lifters use that rebound to their advantage coming out of the hole. Paired with the passive Volcano and Hill knurl, you get a bar that grips reliably through a long session of pulls without shredding your palms.
Durability is not an afterthought. A 1,500 lb static load capacity and tensile strength rated at 190,000 PSI plus or minus 5 percent mean the Mako is not the weak link in your setup, and hard chrome on both the shaft and the sleeves stands up to humidity and chalk far better than bare steel.
Fitness Supply stocks the Mako because it fills a specific gap: a true bearing bar at a price that makes sense for a home gym. Pair it with bumper plates and a set of quality collars and you have a platform setup that will outlast the room it sits in.
