The Origin Axle Bar provides a challenging twist on traditional barbell exercises, the increased demand on grip strengthening the wrists and forearms.

The Axle bar has an extra chunky 50mm shaft diameter (regular Olympic/Powerlifting bars are 28-29mm). For reference, the sleeve diameter on a regular Olympic barbell is 50mm. The Axle bar features knurling similar to traditional Olympic barbells to improve grip

Axle Bar Exercises and Usage

The Axle Bar has its roots in the world of strongman, where it could often put to use with wagon wheels or alternative plates. Our axle bar however, fits traditional Olympic size weight plates.

Beyond the additional grip challenge, another thing you’ll experience when training with the Axle bar is the fact that there is no rotation in the sleeves. This feels slightly different to those used to the rotation, forcing more varied activation, even in traditional movements like squats.

Common exercises with the Axle bar would include:

  • Deadlifts
  • Rack Pulls
  • Axle Bar Holds
  • Clean and Press
  • Overhead/Strict Presses
