The Greek legend laid out everything he would look for in an ideal barbell—including (a) a slightly more aggressive knurl, and (b) a more controlled spin that lets him feel connected to the weight throughout the lift. We provided him with bars made from different types of steel, multiple different knurl textures, and different sleeve lubricants. After lifting on all of them, he gave his feedback on each of the parameters, including which steel had the best whip. At the end of the day, we made a bar that combined all of his top picks. When we showed him what we’d come up with, his response was better than we could have imagined. “It's Perfect,” he said. “You should call it the Pyrros Bar.” And so we did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pyrros Bar is now an official, IWF Certified barbell. The final design combines a stainless steel, 200,000 PSI tensile strength shaft with 10 quality needle bearings and a choice of chrome-plated or stainless steel sleeves (the all-stainless Pyrros Bar is the top-end 28mm barbell that Rogue now produces). The unique knurl texture on these bars was chosen unanimously by two members of the USA Weightlifting World Championship team, along with Pyrros himself, from a pool of six options. For the bearings, we selected a more viscous lubricant to create the controlled spin that Pyrros prefers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the strength world, approval from the International Weightlifting Federation is the equivalent of a restaurant getting its Michelin stars, so we’re proud to include a new IWF Cerakote logo on the shaft of the latest Pyrros Bars, along with additional IWF branding on the endcaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote on Stainless Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Barbells made from raw steel are not plated and therefore marks from the machining process may be visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-v-130318c3=\"\" class=\"robotoHeader\"\u003e\u003cspan data-v-130318c3=\"\"\u003eKEY FEATURES OF THE PYRROS BAR:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-grid-wrap mb-l\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature-grid per-line-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"product-feature\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-21be2ca4=\"\" data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"media-wrap product-feature-image\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-21be2ca4=\"\" class=\"rg-img r-custom contain\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.roguefitness.com\/f_auto,q_auto,c_fill,g_center,w_360,h_228,b_rgb:f8f8f8\/media\/wysiwyg\/Stainless-Steel-Oly-Bar-AC.jpg\" class=\"loaded\" alt=\"Pyrros Customization\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"product-feature-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"number\"\u003e\u003cspan data-v-7393359b=\"\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-v-7393359b=\"\"\u003ePyrros Customization\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchieving the right knurl texture and a controlled spin were essential to creating a Pyrros-approved barbell. For the knurling, we experimented with several patterns before choosing a new, more aggressive style unanimously selected by Pyrros and two members of the U.S.A. Weightlifting team (a center knurl was also included by request). Creating the perfect knurl is as much art as it is science, so after gauging, each shaft is manually tested to ensure that the \"feel\" meets Rogue's standards. Similar attention is paid to the bar's precision needle bearings (made in Germany), five sets of which are included in each chrome sleeve. While the bearings produce a smooth and reliable spin, the use of a more viscous lubricant produced the spin that Pyrros was looking for, ensuring better stability of the weight during heavier lifts and more control for the athlete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"product-feature\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-21be2ca4=\"\" data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"media-wrap product-feature-image\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-21be2ca4=\"\" class=\"rg-img r-custom contain\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.roguefitness.com\/f_auto,q_auto,c_fill,g_center,w_360,h_228,b_rgb:f8f8f8\/media\/wysiwyg\/Stainless-Steel-Oly-Bar-AC-6.jpg\" class=\"loaded\" alt=\"The Difference of Stainless Steel\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"product-feature-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"number\"\u003e\u003cspan data-v-7393359b=\"\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-v-7393359b=\"\"\u003eThe Difference of Stainless Steel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e. Personally selected by Pyrros and two members of the U.S.A. Weightlifting Team for its optimal \"whip\" and \"flex,\" this stainless steel is the same type we originally developed for our world-record breaking Elephant Bar. With no plating, the knurl is left exactly how we machined it, providing a natural feel that is less reliant on chalk, with better corrosion resistance than bare steel. Customers can also now opt for stainless steel sleeves, rather than the standard chrome plating. The all-stainless Pyrros Bar, we feel, is the premier 28mm bar in our fleet. Please Note: Rogue recommends using a synthetic bristle brush, NOT a steel brush, to clean a stainless steel shaft. Steel on steel can cause rusting over time.

Each Pyrros Bar is machined in Columbus, Ohio (on American-made Haas machines) to strict IWF specs. The shaft is ground and polished prior to machining and individually tested and straightened to within 0.015” (0.38MM). Using a technique from automotive and aviation manufacturing, the sleeves are friction welded for a bond as strong as a single piece of steel, and then machined to our exacting standards. After machining, all parts are gauged to ensure optimum performance. In our barbell assembly department, the shaft is again tested and straightened and the components of each bar are weighed together. Once the weight standard of +20 grams\/-10 grams is met, the bar is assembled by hand followed by an individual test for straightness and reliable spin. \u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"product-feature\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-21be2ca4=\"\" data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"media-wrap product-feature-image\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-21be2ca4=\"\" class=\"rg-img r-custom contain\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.roguefitness.com\/f_auto,q_auto,c_fill,g_center,w_360,h_228,b_rgb:f8f8f8\/media\/wysiwyg\/AC-pyros-4.jpg\" class=\"loaded\" alt=\"A Legend's Input\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"product-feature-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-7393359b=\"\" class=\"number\"\u003e\u003cspan data-v-7393359b=\"\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-v-7393359b=\"\"\u003eA Legend's Input\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA national hero in Greece, Pyrros Dimas owns three World Weightlifting Championships along with three gold medals from the 1992, 1996, and 2000 Olympic Games.
