Overview
Specification-based profile. We have not tested this product hands-on and do not give it a review score. How we research.
Body Power gives a 28 mm alloy-steel shaft coated in black oxide, 23.3 cm of loadable sleeve, 12.85 kg, 202,000 psi tensile strength and a 700 kg maximum load. Sleeves turn on two needle bearings and two bronze bushings, and the bar fits Olympic-width equipment.
It shares the Prestige name with the 7 ft bar already in the index, but its mass, sleeve length, finish and tensile figure all differ, so it is profiled separately. The distance between the sleeves is not published, so check your rack's inside width against the bar.

- Amazon UK listing: 6 ft, 12.85 kg; BPOBP6 (Amazon UK)
Before ordering
- Identity: Body Power SKU BPOBP6 on the exact maker page equals the Amazon part number BPOBP6.
- 14 October 2026: Amazon UK B09QF5H846?th=1&psc=1 showed an enabled Add to Basket featured offer sold by Fitness Superstore (only 14 left in stock); the displayed ASIN matched. No import or Global Store offer. Checkout not tested.
- Listing image rule check, 14 October 2026: all 7 gallery images are equipment only (bar views and a Fitness Superstore logo), with no people, figures or hands; the page has no A+, brand or description images.
- Batch 50 held this bar as a spare; it is a separate profile from the 7 ft Prestige (BPOBP) because every published figure differs.
