The Double Black Diamond Power Bar - The Making of a Premium Powerlifting Barbell

What do you get when you have an engineering staff full of competitive powerlifters? The best possible power bar, that's what. That'd be the Double Black Diamond Power Bar. This top-tier barbell has everything a powerlifter could want for the big three: deep knurling to assist those heavy deads; center knurling to hold the weight in place for back squats; IPF-standard knurl markings so you'll be perfectly prepped for your next comp; smooth sleeves for easy loading of weight; and more.
REP was founded in Colorado, and the Double Black Diamond name references the steepest and hardest runs on the slopes. Check out all the premium finish options including stainless steel, Duracoat, and multiple color options!

    Love this bar. Knurling is aggressive but not so much it tears up your hands. I have the cerakote/duracoat that is holding up well with 4 day/week lifting, chalk, and brushing for past two months.

    Love it! I admire how the team innovates in incremental (BUT noticeable) ways. The cerakoting + a badass name like "Diamond", "Helios", "Alpine", "Hades"... makes these barbells the full package. Can't wait to try them out for myself!

    we really need a clear differentiation here...the specs say the differences are that the DBD has Deep Mountain/Very Aggressive while DK only has Aggressive knurl. The DK says "Bushing" while DBD has bronze bushings with cerakote options

    Our previous barbell, the Deep Knurl Power Bar, has similar knurling to our Double Black Diamond Power Bar. Both have deep mountain style knurling. However, the overall construction, materials, and design of our new in-house engineered bars releasing this month and next are just far superior.

    You usually hear rattle because the sleeve tolerances aren't good enough. We took our time with this aspect of the bar to ensure it's top tier.
