The SMAI Axle Barbell is a challenging new addition to any regimen. Axle Lifts are a staple in Strongman competitions, so its no wonder that the Axle Barbell will give you a vice-like grip and improved endurance when it comes to holding heavy weights. This is through the width of the barbell which sits at a whopping 48mm making it 20mm fatter than a standard Olympic Barbell. SMAI have covered ours in a textured, black powder-coat to give you optimal grip. Weight plates not included. Specificatio
