The Force USA The Gunner Olympic Bar is a multipurpose barbell for athletes who want one bar for everything: clean & jerk, snatch, squats, bench press, and deadlifts. Specifications comply with IPF and IWF standards, 680 kg weight rating, commercial-grade construction.

The Main Benefits

• 680 kg rating / 235,000 PSI tensile strength: reserves you'll never fully use
• 5 needle bearings + stainless steel bushings per sleeve: extremely smooth rotation under load
• IPF/IWF-compliant knurling: 1.2 mm wide, 0.35 mm deep, 60° angle—provides a secure grip without being too aggressive
• Consistent Whip: Tangible Feedback for Proper Technique and New PRs
• Corrosion protection: Manganese phosphate shaft with black zinc finish, sleeves in bright zinc

Highlights

1) A bar for Olympic lifting and powerlifting

No center knurl, a combination of strength, whip, and responsiveness: The Gunner is designed as a multipurpose bar—you can switch between snatch training and heavy squats without changing bars.

2) Rotation that the pros can feel

Five needle bearings per sleeve, plus stainless steel bushings, minimize friction and torque. The result: smooth movement during cleans and snatches—even under maximum load.

3) Precision That Can Be Measured

Weight tolerance ±1%, straightness ±0.25 mm: This bar is manufactured to meet competition standards.

Without a knurled grip in the middle, the bar remains gentle on the skin during cleans and front squats—a multipurpose standard.

Are the lids included?
