Description

Fat Barbell for Strongman & Grip Strength Training

Want to build unstoppable grip and wrist strength while boosting your overall upper-body power? This 2" diameter Axle Bar challenges your hands and forearms like no standard barbell, helping you break through plateaus and add serious intensity to your workouts. Perfect for strongman athletes, serious lifters, or anyone seeking a fresh way to train grip and pulling strength.

Features and Benefits:

THICK/FAT BAR SHAFT: The 2" diameter shaft is thicker than a standard Olympic bar, forcing your grip and forearms to work harder. It features a textured powder coat finish (not full knurling) with grip guide marks for precise hand placement, and it holds chalk well for a secure grip.
GRIP & WRIST STRENGTH BUILDER: Targets muscles in your hands and wrists that standard bars can’t, making your workouts tougher and more effective.
EVEN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION: The thicker grip shaft spreads the load evenly, promoting balanced forearm development and reducing muscle imbalances.
VERSATILE TRAINING TOOL: Use it for deadlifts, presses, rows, curls, squats, shoulder work, and with landmine attachments like a Landmine Post for added exercise variety.
FIXED DESIGN & PLATE COMPATIBILITY: Designed exclusively for 2" Olympic weight plates. The sleeves do not rotate and maintain a fixed diameter, providing stability during lifts but limiting plate options to those with a 2" hole.
BUILT TO LAST: Measures 84" long with 16" loadable sleeves on each side. Weighs 25 lb and supports up to 500 lbs—ideal for home gyms and commercial use.

FAQs

Common Questions About the Strongman Axle Fat Bar

What are the benefits of using a fat bar (axle bar) versus a standard barbell?

Using a fat bar challenges your grip, wrists, and forearms more than a standard barbell due to its thicker 2" diameter. This leads to improved grip strength, increased pulling power, and better muscle balance in the upper body.

What types of exercises can I do with the axle bar?

The axle bar is highly versatile. It’s perfect for axle deadlifts, curls, rows, presses (bench, shoulder, overhead), and can be used with landmine attachments for pressing and rotational movements. It’s ideal for strongman training and grip-specific workouts.

What plates fit on the axle bar and do the sleeves rotate?

The axle bar’s sleeves are designed exclusively for 2" Olympic weight plates. The sleeves are fixed and do not rotate, which adds stability during heavy lifts but means only plates with a 2" center hole will fit.

Nice bar. Good price for a 7 ft bar. Considering the cost of shipping it was about $50 less than the Rogue 7 ft axle. The edge knurlings were a nice surprise. A couple of chips in the powder coat finish near the ends and the weld, but nothing that affects performance, just aesthetic. Very happy with this bar!

This is a great bar. The paint chips a little but this is a great bang for the buck

Great bar! It really helps with grip and forearm strength, but is actually a much more comfortable grip than a traditional bar.
