ATX Olympic Swiss Bar

Swiss bar with parallel grips for four grip widths

The ATX Swiss bar with straight, neutral grips in four different grip widths from 16 cm to 76 cm. The neutral grip can help to relieve the shoulders in a bench pressing movement and can be ideal for athletes with shoulder problems. This barbell is favoured for various types of bench presses, but, can also be used for other exercises, such as hammer curls, skullcrushers, rowing movements. Thanks to the different grip widths, and possibly combined with chains or resistance bands, this bar offers many applications. 

A version of this bar with angled handles, known as the American Press Bar, is also available .
