Zhang Kong Men's Competition Olympic Barbbell
Here’s what Glenn Pendlay, US Olympic Coach, weightlifting manufacturer
and supplier had to say about the Zhang Kong weightlifting bar;
“One competition bar that I personally think has great knurling is the
Zhangkong bar. Zhangkong uses I believe 31 cuts per inch on their
knurling, so it is a finer knurling, more of a "sandpaper" feel. Now
personally I like that, I think it gives a very secure grip while still being very comfortable on the thumb when you use the hook grip”.
“Of the IWF certified bars, the Zhangkong has the best bar whip of any bar I have used in
my opinion. It truly whips like no other bar. Be prepared to make a
personal record on your jerk the first time you use this bar”.
“If I had to buy 10 bars for a gym which would I buy? Personally I would buy the Zhangkong because I love a whippy bar and don't care about shin abrasions!”
