WHY USE AN AXLE BAR?

Build your forearm strength: If you train regularly with an Axle bar, you’ll quickly notice a difference in your forearms. That’s why the Axle Bar is also popular with bodybuilders who want to develop thick, competition-ready forearms.

Durability: Our Axle Bar is constructed as one solid piece of steel with non-revolving sleeves, so it’s built to last.
