Brush chalk after every WOD and add a light oil wipe weekly. Cerakote bars still need TLC to prevent sleeve squeaks.
Keep one “class bar” and one “strength cycle” bar if budgets allow. Rotation extends lifespan during open gym drops.
Crash pads + urethane bumpers keep neighbors happy. Bearings spin louder—perfect them for comp day, bushings for daily use.
Monday
Use hybrid sleeves for crisp turnover.
Wednesday
Medium knurl protects palms through high volume.
Friday
Need fast clips and smooth bushings for cycling.
Not unless you focus on high-level weightlifting. Composite or bronze bushings provide plenty of spin with less maintenance and quieter drops.
Stainless is king, Cerakote second. Black zinc looks sharp but chips sooner when slammed on concrete.
Aim for one bar per two members in peak classes plus 2–3 dedicated technique bars for newbies.
