Source: tworepcave.com (verified 2026-07-13) · corroborated by primofitnessusa.com. Two Rep Cave's dated hands-on review documents the exact model — American Barbell Cerakote Training Bar, 20 kg, 28 mm shaft, 190k tensile steel, composite-bushing sleeves, Cerakote shaft with hard-chrome sleeves, IWF weightlifting markings and no center knurl — and states "The bar retails at $295," the sourced US MSRP. The Primo Fitness retailer listing reproduces American Barbell's own product copy, independently confirming the 190,000 PSI tensile strength, Cerakote-shaft/hard-chrome-sleeve finishes, composite bushings, IWF specification and USA manufacture for the identically named "American Barbell Olympic Cerakote Training Bar," corroborating model identity. American Barbell's live catalog no longer lists this discontinued Cerakote Training Bar (its current Cerakote bar is the California Bar), so no live manufacturer product page exists; length (86.61") and loadable-sleeve (16.25") were published only in inches by the reviews, so those millimeter specKeys are left null rather than converted.
