Olympic Football Bar

The football bar was originally designed to accommodate the needs of football players who required a safer way to lift weights without aggravating shoulder and wrist injuries. Here’s why you should use a football bar: Reduced shoulder strain: A football bar's neutral grip is more comfortable on the shoulders than a traditional barbell, so it’s great for enabling athletes to continue benching, even with shoulder problems. Wrist comfort: The 50mm diameter handles ease strain on the wrists, making pressing movements more comfortable than traditional barbells. New training stimulus: The football bar can help you to hit your chest, triceps, and shoulders, making it great for all strength athletes, including bodybuilders.
