Buddy Capps first started lifting weights in the late 60s and began powerlifting in the mid 70s.

At that time he was working for Image Barbell building gym equipment.

Around 1976 a local machine shop started making Olympic bars for them, calling it The Image Bar.

In 1977 Image Barbell became champion barbell, it was then that Buddy started looking at the bars with an intent of changing them for the better.

In 1979 but he bought his first lathe to begin addressing the known issues.

In 1980 his passion drive and purpose now had a greater mission and he set out on his own to make what he believed was the greatest bar he had ever seen and trained with and The Texas Power Bar was Born.
