Specialty Bars

Specialty barbells — trap bars, safety squat bars, cambered bars, EZ-curl bars, multi-grip bars, and event-specific competition bars for serious lifters and commercial gyms.

We carry specialty bars from York Barbell, Bells of Steel, Body Solid, and supporting brands. Specialty bars open up training movements that standard Olympic bars can't do — heavy trap bar deadlifts, safer squat variations, and joint-friendly accessory work.

Most-popular specialty bars:

• Trap bar / hex bar — neutral-grip deadlifts, easier on lower back, allow heavier loading. Standard or open-end designs.
• Safety squat bar (SSB) — padded yoke design with handles in front; safer high-bar squatting, less shoulder strain. Used in powerlifting accessory work.
• Cambered bar — bent-shaft design for advanced powerlifting accessory squats and good mornings
• EZ-curl bar — angled grips for biceps and triceps work; reduces wrist strain on heavy curls
• Multi-grip / Swiss bar — multiple grip-width options for pressing variations
• Football bar / log bar — neutral-grip pressing, often used in football strength programs
• Triceps bombs & specialty curl bars — for isolation work

Specs that matter:

• Sleeve compatibility — most specialty bars use Olympic 2" sleeves
• Weight capacity — verify max load (specialty bars often handle 600-1,000 lb)
• Knurling — moderate texture standard; aggressive knurling on power-focused bars
• Coating — black oxide, zinc, or chrome based on aesthetic and rust resistance
