Strange Looking Bar, But A Dream To Use.

Review submitted on 21st September 2014 by Richard John

I was looking for an olympic triceps bar. My first port of call the Gymratz website.
This bar came highly recommended, but I thought it looked a bit unwieldy, however as it is manufactured by Watson* and a recommendation from Gymratz has never been wrong, I placed my order.
The bar is strongly crafted, as soon as you pick up the bar you can feel that it is well balanced. The bar remains balanced, no matter how much weight is added.
I have used the bar for skull crushers, neutral grip bicep curls, shrugs and upright rows, it works equally well with all of the above movements.
Superbly built, balanced and extremely versatile, I was so impressed I went straight back to the Gymratz site and ordered the international curl bar, same build quality, balance and functionality as the triceps bar, two highly recommended bars for anyone interested in making their gym time that bit more enjoyable.
As usual great service and lightning fast delivery from the Gymratz team.
Thank you Gymratz, I am very happy.

*GymRatZ Note: The International Olympic Tricep/ Trap Bar is manufactured by York Barbell; however, Watson Gym Equipment make a similar barbell designed by Tom Balchin called the Professional Tricep/ Trap Bar by Dr. Tom.
