Elite Barbell for Para Powerlifting

Designed and tested with the invaluable collaboration of national para powerlifting athletes, OB86-EPPL is the new Lacertosus® barbell meticulously designed and engineered for the Paralympic bench press discipline.

Designed according to the strict dictates of the WPPO (World Para Powerlifting) regulations and manufactured with the highest quality materials according to the precise standards of the Lacertosus® Elite series, the Elite Para Powerlifting Bar is the ultimate in reliability, smoothness and performance for a barbell specific to this particular lift.

Extreme precision thanks to accurate calibration with a minimum error of only 10g. The high load capacity of 680 kg and IPF marking make this barbell ideal for strength training and the Olympic lift.
Unrivalled performance thanks to the special alloy steel, which provides excellent rigidity and prevents annoying oscillations even with high loads.
The synergic combination of the loading sleeves on bushings, with the special non-slip for the discs, together with the hard knurling of the shaft with its exclusive 28 mm diameter, guarantee optimal grip and excellent stabilisation of the wrist joint, avoiding dissipation of energy during setting and execution.

Built to last, the top-quality chrome surface treatment provides excellent oxidation resistance and an unprecedentedly attractive design.
Details in pure Lacertosus® style, such as the laser-marked logos and the shock-absorbing rubber ring to prevent direct contact with the floor, are a guarantee of quality and refinement for a unique balance.

Inclusiveness as a key and founding value of the project.
Beyond a deep passion, we at Lacertosus® live and see sport and training as a core principle of inclusion, unity and sharing that must be usable and accessible to all who wish to take part.

It is with these values in mind that Lacertosus® Adaptive was born, a new line of inclusive products designed with the intention of breaking down as many access barriers as possible for people with disabilities within the training areas.

For this reason, the new OB86-EPPL was co-designed, tested and reviewed together with athletes from the national Paralympic team, who provided valuable feedback and insights to achieve a Lacertosus® product of excellence.

Perhaps you didn't know...
Although it is a powerlifting barbell, unlike the 29mm IPF standard, the shaft diameter of the Paralympic barbell is 28mm to facilitate and maximise grip strength during bench press.
