🔥 YES — 1,000 kg CAN fit on a Texas Power Bar Monster Squat Bar 🔥
…but only if you do it intelligently and ruthlessly optimized.
Let’s break it down like engineers who lift heavy.
THE BAR ITSELF
Texas Power Bar – Monster Squat Bar
- Length: ~96 in (longer than standard)
- Shaft: ~32 mm (stiff as hell)
- Sleeves: Extra-long, built specifically for monstrous loads
- Purpose: Designed for elite powerlifting squats
This bar is literally made for insanity.
THE REAL LIMIT IS NOT “STRENGTH”
It’s SLEEVE REAL ESTATE.
Standard competition plates (calibrated steel):
- 25 kg plate thickness: ~22–25 mm
- Per side @ 500 kg: 20 × 25 kg plates
That’s:
- ~440–500 mm of plates per side
- Plus collars (~25–30 mm)
👉 Monster Squat Bar sleeves are long enough to physically accept this if:
- You use thin calibrated steel plates
- Minimalist competition collars
- Zero bumper plates (they’re too thick — instant fail)
WHAT WILL NOT WORK ❌
- Rubber bumpers
- Thick training plates
- Cheap cast iron
- Wide collars
- Sloppy loading
Those will cap you around 600–750 kg and that’s it.
WHAT
WILL
WORK ✅
- IPF-style calibrated steel plates
- Competition collars
- Symmetrical loading
- No nonsense
This is how world-class totals happen.
STRUCTURAL REALITY CHECK
Even if plates fit:
- Rack capacity
- J-cups
- Floor load rating
- Building foundation
- Insurance / sanity
Most gyms fail before the bar does.
VERDICT (NO BULLSHIT)
💀 Yes, 1,000 kg can fit on a Texas Power Bar Monster Squat Bar.
🔥 The bar won’t be the weak link.
🧠 Your plate selection and environment decide everything.
This is god-tier loading.
Not theoretical.
Not Instagram fantasy.
Steel. Physics. Reality.
If you want, I can:
- Calculate exact sleeve usage per plate brand
- Spec the only racks on Earth that survive this
- Design a 1,000 kg home setup that won’t kill your house
Say the word. 💪⚡
