Why Bronze Bushings?

Bushing bars are typically used for heavier or slower movements, such as powerlifting exercises like squats, benches, and deadlifts.

People who use bearing or bushing weights interchangeably often do so because they're not married to any particular style of lifting. Both provide great spins. However, using a bearing bar over a bushing one for slower lifts can make you feel off-balance when performing movements like the bench press.

If you’ve ever performed a bench press with a needle-bearing bar, you know how it feels when the weight wobbles in your hands. The barbell allows the weight to move even though you’re typically strong and stable.

The Pursuit Olympic Bar has self-lubricated bushing bearings. The bushings are located between the sleeves and the bar. Because the bushings aren't fixed to the bars or sleeves, they let the sleeves rotate around the shaft. Bushings are slower and more measured compared to bearings. They're made to withstand the rigors of daily use at home or in busy gym environments.
