Frequently asked questions about specialty bars
What is a specialty bar and what is it for?
A specialty bar changes the grip or the position of the load compared with a straight Olympic bar: Safety Squat Bar, cambered Buffalo bar, multi-grip bar (Swiss bar), deadlift bar, EZ bar. It takes stress off the shoulders, elbows and wrists and changes the stimulus, while using your 50 mm Olympic plates.
Safety Squat Bar or Buffalo bar for squats?
The Atlas V2 SSB (220 cm, 32 mm diameter, 20.7 kg without handles, 700 kg maximum load) places the load further forward with adjustable handles: ideal if your shoulders lack mobility, for squats, good mornings or loaded carries. The UF-Buffalo bar (243 cm, 32 mm, 22.7 kg, 1,000 kg maximum) is cambered: you hold it like a straight bar but it reduces stress on the shoulders and elbows in both the squat and the bench press.
Which bar for the deadlift?
The UF-Deadlift Goerner bar: 235 cm, reduced 27 mm diameter for grip, 20 kg, aggressive knurling with no centre knurl and high flexibility, with long sleeves so the bar comes off the floor progressively.
What is the CSB multi-grip bar for?
The CSB Multi Grip (199 cm, 11 kg, up to 350 kg) offers several neutral grips for presses, rows and triceps extensions. It spares your shoulders and wrists after thousands of reps with a straight bar.
What is the difference between the two EZ bars and the Olympic dumbbell handles?
The UF-Curl EZ bar (120 cm, 10 kg, 300 kg maximum) is the short version for curls and extensions; the Rackable Curl EZ bar has a longer shaft so it can sit on the J-cups of a standard squat rack. The Castor & Pollux Olympic dumbbell handles (51.5 cm, 28 mm handle) turn your Olympic plates into adjustable dumbbells. All take 50 mm plates.
