Finally … IWF Approved Weightlifting Equipment Becomes Affordable For All Australian Weightlifters
Australian Kettlebells is pleased to announce the arrival of the IWF approved weightlifting equipment from the Zhangkong Barbell Manufacturing Company.
Zhang Kong is the official supplier to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and has been making quality weightlifting products since 1983. They are the only company in China that specialises in designing, manufacturing and installing weightlifting products.
With fifty-six manufacturing machines, the latest testing facilities and a team of dedicated technical staff, it’s not hard to see why Zhangkong is an industry leader.
Here’s what Glenn Pendlay, US Olympic Coach, weightlifting manufacturer and supplier had to say about the Zhang Kong weightlifting bar;
“One competition bar that I personally think has great knurling is the Zhangkong bar. Zhangkong uses I believe 31 cuts per inch on their knurling, so it is a finer knurling, more of a "sandpaper" feel. Now personally I like that, I think it gives a very secure grip while still being very comfortable on the thumb when you use the hook grip”.
“Of the IWF certified bars, the Zhangkong has the best bar whip of any bar I have used in my opinion. It truly whips like no other bar. Be prepared to make a personal record on your jerk the first time you use this bar”.
“If I had to buy 10 bars for a gym which would I buy? Personally I would buy the Zhangkong because I love a whippy bar and don't care about shin abrasions!”
Glenn Pendlay, US Olympic Weightlifting Coach
More information on the Zhang Kong Bar includes;
- Engineered with Japanese quality bearings used in their automotive industry. These are the very best.
- Patented new knurling design. This has been engineered to be less abrasive but still provide superior gripping quality for the athlete.
- All of the bars are made from specially engineered alloys that allow incredible flexion and strength to be applied to the bar. This ensures for the most intense training without deforming the bar.
Zhang Kong also manufactures quality bumper plates. These plates come in both competition and training sets and are of the highest standard.
The bumper plate is designed with a plate style that is wider than any competition plate on the market and allows for more durability.
Zhang Kong also ensure all of your weightlifting needs are met by supplying weightlifting platforms. For a full range of their products see below.
Australian Kettlebells is pleased to announce that Zhang Kong weightlifting products are now available in Australia. Due to a special arrangement we can offer this world class equipment at affordable prices.
"I own 20 sets. They're great. Extremely durable and are getting much use. I have two PE classes of 70 students-about 40 or so after school everyday, and an older crowd of college guys working out 4 days a week. Some of our top athletes work out on Saturday and Sunday.
The bars and platforms routinely see 200 kilos on squats and pulls with a half a dozen bodies CJ well over 150 day in and day out. They are abused, but holding up great."
