Axle Bar Press at Virginia Travis blog

Axle Bar Press. At its most basic, an axle bar is a barbell that is thicker than a normal olympic barbell. I get questions occasionally as to why i choose to press and bench press almost exclusively with an axle. I do this because i have torn ligaments in each wrist, and the larger surface of the axle in my hands feels better on my wrists. Similar to the regular version, axle bar bench presses will mainly work your chest, tricep, and front deltoid (shoulder) muscles. In most axle bar exercises, choosing this type of bar results in a big increase in how much you work your forearm grip muscles. The thicker bar makes this lift a little tougher and forces the athlete to move the bar slightly forward. Normal barbells have a shaft that is about 1 1/8 diameter and most axle bars. Perform movements like the deadlift, bench press, and bent over rows with the axle bar—it’ll not only add variance to your routine, but it will build critical grip strength and make sure that’s not what’s holding you back. Axle press overhead pressing is one of the main upper body movement patterns that we should be performing in the gym.
