Pro Olympic Hex Bar

This is a heavyweight Olympic bar that's found in most strength gyms and larger commercial gyms with a free weights section. The Pro Olympic Hex Bar allows you to lift heavy weights whilst you stand in the centre of the bar. This helps to reduce the stress and tension that is usually caused to the spine from a straight bar during a lift. Weighing in at 35kg, this bar can take a maximum weight of 300kg+.

Why the Pro Olympic Hex Bar?

At 2.2m in length and a 62cm width this solid stainless steel bar will take standard 2" Olympic plates. Used by weightlifters and fitness fanatics, exercises include shrugs, carries and dead lifts. The design ensures it helps to reduce pressure on the lower back meaning you can lift heavier weights

Olympic Hex Bar

If you like shrugs, deadlifts and strongman type carry exercises, then you need to have a Olympic Hex Bar in your gym. Designed to cleverly reduce the pressure and strain on your lower back, you can work your traps without the strain normally associated with neck and lower back. This is a premium grade stainless steel bar that weighs in at 35kg. The dimensions have been designed to allow you plenty of room to stand in the middle of the bar to perform exercises. With dual handles this allows easy grip even if you're tall.

Why Free Weights?

Using Olympic discs and Olympic bars gives you a lot more freedom as well as helping you to learn to control the bars and weights you are lifting. You need to take instruction on how to perform lifts properly when you're using free weights, mainly to help prevent injuries to yourself and others.

Buying an Olympic Hex Bar means you can use any Olympic discs as the 2" diameter hole is standardised to the 2" weight sleeve on the bar. This means you can choose exactly what weight, choose what design of plates you want and add to your weight any time from any brand or style.

The versatility of free weights is such that there are literally hundreds of different exercises available to you once you get started. From the ubiquitous bench press or squat you can move through weighted lunges, reverse bicep curls or French tricep press. The list is endless.
