What are the different barbells used for??
Alpine bar: these are on the deadlift platform and are not to be moved. These bars are specific for deadlift, clean, sn**ch, and jerk lifts
Black diamond bar: to be used for squats, bench press, military press. The knurling in the center (per REP fitness brand) is called volcano knurling. This gives an easy grip for everyday use
Double black diamond bar: this bar is for your One Rep Max day. The knurling in the center (per REP fitness brand) is called mountain knurling. This is a more aggressive grip to aid on your stronger lift day.
As always, please ask any questions you may have
Happy lifting 💪🏼🖤
