Why this Bar?

Designed with particular consideration for performing Sumo Deadlifts yet conventional Deadlifts can also be performed on BullrocK Sumo Deadlift Bar which offers you the desired grip and holdings positions, as the Knurl is where you want it!

The main difference between the sumo and the conventional deadlift is the position of the feet and hands i.e. wide foot placement, allowing a narrow grip. Hence the bar has an aggressive 1.5mm volcano knurl over 245mm on either side within 810mm distance with no centre knurl making it suitable for a sumo deadlift grip.  For when your hands would want to grab the bar closer, at about shoulder width. Please refer to the infographic image no. 5 for accurate knurl position representation

Sumo Deadlift Bar Vs The Deadlift Bar – Difference

1. The Knurl position of The Deadlift Bar has IPF knurl marks with no centre knurl suitable for a conventional deadlift, and The Sumo Deadlift Bar has Custom Knurl positions suitable for both conventional and sumo deadlifts (as mentioned in the infographic image no. 3)
2. The Deadlift Bar has a Black Oxide coated shaft, and The Sumo Deadlift Bar has a Red Ceramic Coated Shaft. (Please refer to oxidation scale image)

This bar too specializes in whip achieved by keeping 27mm shaft diameter, slightly excess length i.e., 2330mm, and keeping the sleeves slightly apart compared to the standard Olympic bar. The whip allows you to pull more from a higher point before the plates break off the floor, potentially increasing the amount of weight that can be lifted in the process.
