Werksan barbells?

[Jared Enderton]

Guys,

I know that at nationals they are using Werksan barbells. How do these compare to Eleiko's, or Zhangkong's, etc? Mainly looking for the comparison to Eleiko's competition bar...

I know Simon has lifted on both (collegiate nats, and now has an eleiko bar), moss I know you have, lillian you pry have, and others pry have as well (Brendan maybe?)

I'd love your thoughts, thanks. (knurling mainly)

Heh well I should probably figure out what I'm lifting on in the gym. I think our competition bars are Eleiko, but I'm sure I've trained on Werksan, and that might be what most of our training bars are. I'll check it out and get back to you. The Eleikos at SWSC just kill my hands now since I'm not used to them, but part of that may be that they're relatively new. The bars at my gym are well-used and probably much smoother than when they were new.

Apparently all the barbells at my gym are Eleiko. Roger says that they're very similar to Werksan.

Really? That is great news. Sweet!

Thank you for taking the time to ask/figure that out.

No problem! Are you putting together a home gym?
