In this video, I'll be reviewing the Rep Fitness Hades Deadlift Bar and how it differs from other powerlifting or general strength bars. I'll break down its key features, including diameter, length, knurling, sleeve length, and price, to help you decide if it's worth adding to your setup.

Bar Diameter
One of the main differences is the diameter of the Hades Bar. It's 27mm, compared to the typical 28.5mm of most multi-purpose bars. While this might seem small, that 1.5mm difference can significantly improve your grip. For many lifters, grip strength can limit their deadlift if they're not using straps. The thinner bar diameter helps you achieve a stronger grip, potentially improving your overall deadlift performance.

Bar Length and Whip
The Rep Fitness Hades Bar is 91 inches long, compared to most barbells, which are around 63 inches. The longer, thinner design allows for more whip-a slight flexion of the bar when you start the lift. This is advantageous because as the bar flexes, some of the plates remain on the ground momentarily, making it easier to pull the slack out of the bar. In contrast, a stiff bar forces you to lift all the weight at once, making the initial pull harder.

Knurling
The knurling on the Hades Bar is another standout feature. It's aggressive, helping you lock in a strong grip, especially when combined with the thinner diameter. Unlike standard bars, the knurling on the Hades Bar starts wider apart, giving you more leg clearance and reducing the chance of scraping your shins. Additionally, there's no center knurling, as it's unnecessary for deadlifts.

Sleeve Length
The sleeve length on the Rep Hades Bar is 15.5 inches, slightly shorter than a standard bar like the Ohio Bar, which has a 16.4-inch sleeve. This could be an issue for lifters using thick hi-temp bumper plates, as the shorter sleeve might limit how much weight you can load. However, if you're using competition-style plates, this likely won't be a problem.

Price
At the time of this review, the Rep Fitness Hades Bar was priced at $370, with Rep offering free shipping. For comparison, the Rogue Ohio Deadlift Bar costs $375, plus shipping. This makes the Hades Bar more affordable as a specialty bar, offering solid value for its price.

Final Thoughts
After using the Rep Fitness Hades Deadlift Bar for the past two months, I've found it to be a strong contender for anyone seeking a deadlift-specific bar. It's designed to enhance grip, improve technique with better whip, and offer aggressive knurling for secure lifts. If you're serious about deadlifting and want a specialty bar that's affordable, the Hades Bar is worth considering.
