Centre Knurling vs No Centre Knurling: Which one suits me?
A barbell with center knurling will have a rough texture in the center of the bar, while a barbell without center knurling will not. Center knurling is often used in powerlifting competitions, as it helps the lifter maintain a consistent grip on the bar during squats and other exercises. Some lifters prefer a barbell without center knurling as it can be more comfortable during certain exercises or for those who have sensitive hands. Ultimately, the choice between a barbell with or without center knurling is a matter of personal preference.
When performing exercises such as squats and deadlifts, the barbell is often placed on the lifter’s upper back or shoulders. During these exercises, the barbell can slide around on the skin, which can make it difficult to maintain proper form and can also be uncomfortable. Center knurling is a textured pattern on the center of the barbell that helps to grip the skin and prevent the barbell from sliding around. This can be especially useful for powerlifting competitions, where the lifter is required to maintain a specific form and grip on the barbell.
On the other hand, some lifters prefer to use a barbell without center knurling as it can be more comfortable when performing exercises such as Olympic lifts, where the barbell is held in the front-rack position or overhead. The center knurling can also be uncomfortable for people with sensitive skin or for those who are wearing a shirt without sleeves, as it can cause irritation or even injury.
In conclusion, whether to choose a barbell with or without center knurling is a matter of personal preference and depends on the type of exercises you perform, your personal comfort level and your skin sensitivity. Some people prefer the added grip that center knurling provides, while others prefer the added comfort of a smooth barbell.
