Hard chrome finish Four needle bearings Fits all 50mm Olympic weight plates Knurled hammer-style grips 12kg weight Spring collars included The 360 Strength PRO Olympic Tricep / Hammer Curl Bar is designed for upper body strength training using a neutral grip position. The parallel handles allow the palms to face one another during curls, triceps extensions and pressing movements, making it a useful specialty bar for commercial facilities, home gyms, and personal training studios. Compared with a straight bar or traditional EZ curl bar, the neutral grip changes the position of the hands and wrists throughout the movement. This provides another way to train the biceps, triceps and forearms while giving lifters an alternative grip position for arm and upper body accessory work. Features The PRO Olympic Tricep / Hammer Curl Bar is manufactured from spring steel, a common material used throughout barbell construction as it provides the strength required to support substantial training loads while maintaining consistent performance through repeated use. The shaft uses a black hard chrome finish, while the sleeves are finished in silver hard chrome. Hard chrome provides a durable plated surface suited to equipment that is regularly handled, loaded and unloaded, while also providing a finish consistent with other bars in the 360 Strength PRO range. The sleeves rotate using four needle bearings and two brass bushes. Together, these components allow the sleeves and weight plates to rotate independently of the main bar during training. This reduces unnecessary resistance through the hands and wrists as the bar moves through curls, extensions and pressing variations. The sleeves are secured using a double circlip assembly with endcaps rather than external end bolts. This style of construction removes the possibility of an end bolt gradually working loose during repeated use and is consistent with the construction used across other 360 Strength PRO bars. The parallel handles create a neutral grip, with the palms facing one another rather than pronated or supinated as they would be on many straight or EZ curl bar movements. This grip is commonly used for hammer curls and triceps exercises and provides a practical alternative hand position for lifters wanting greater variation in upper body training. A 28mm shaft diameter combined with fine, grippy knurling provides a secure hand position without requiring an excessively aggressive surface. This makes the bar suitable for heavier strength work as well as higher-repetition accessory training. The 180mm sleeves use a 50mm Olympic diameter, allowing the bar to be loaded with compatible 360 Strength, 1RM and other Olympic weight plates. Training Applications The PRO Olympic Tricep / Hammer Curl Bar is designed for upper body strength and accessory work where a neutral grip is preferred.
