Il Padrino Deadlift Bar
SKU: AB-ILPADRINO
Product Overview
Il Padrino — "The Godfather" — is American Barbell's purpose-built competition deadlift bar. The 27mm shaft and extra overall length produce a distinctive, legal whip that allows the plates to break the floor before the bar fully loads, helping elite lifters pull record-breaking weights. Extreme knurling, stiff bronze bushings, and legendary build quality make Il Padrino one of the finest deadlift bars available anywhere.
Key Features
- 27mm shaft diameter — thinner than standard for more whip and flex
- Extra bar length (2310mm) generates legal, performance-enhancing deadlift whip
- Extreme passive knurling for chalk-free grip security at maximum loads
- Hard chrome finish on shaft and sleeves
- Bronze bushing sleeves with minimal spin — optimal for deadlifts
