York Competition/Weightlifting Training Bars

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

The Elite bars and Training bars can be compared with the likes of Werksan and Eleiko in their ability to whip or oscillate and to maintain straightness over time.

These are intended for use by serious weightlifters.
