The classic Strongman Axle but BIGGER!
This bar has been used by Strongmen for years in competition and training. It's larger diameter shaft makes it a beast to hold when loaded up for a Deadlift. To give you an idea of the size of the bar, grab the end sleeve of a regular Olympic sized bar. This bar is even thicker!
If you're looking to add some serious grip training to your routine or are a serious Strongman competitor then this is the bar for you. The Axle can be used for Deadlifts, Squats, Bench Press, Overhead Press, Clean and Press, Bent Over Rows.... the list goes on and on.
With the growing popularity of Functional Training this bar has also become popular with many Athletes who follow the Functional Training Strongman program or who want to make "Grace" a little more interesting.
It's versatility and robust design make this an essential piece of kit for any strength athlete.
Specifications:
Length approx. 2.1m. Sleeves do not revolve, bar is one solid piece with sleeve plates to stop plates sliding up the bar. Weight approx. 25kg. Rated to 450kg.

This is such a well made bar and looks and feels like it will last a thousand years.
My arm wrestling team have enjoyed doing over hand rack pulls and wrist curls. It is substantially harder than the 50mm bar. The knurling does help slightly.
Price, delivery and product all 10 out of 10.

Great bar
I’ve just started back doing the weights and wanted to strengthen my grip strength, this bar is ideal for that, I use it for everything instead of a normal standard Olympic bar (squats-over head press- bench- deadlift- biceps -triceps) I recommend this type of bar for anyone wanting to get stronger

Epic bar/First class service.
Just taken delivery of this bar. The first thing is the size of this bar. Its colossal. My hands won't go anywhere nearly around this beast. Its also heavy. Made for the one purpose of giving all who use it a new dimension on training. I'm well pleased with it and the quality. As always a first class service from The Strength Shop. If your ordering for the 1st time don't hesitate 10/10.
