The Hex bar might be one of the strangest pieces of gym equipment you will see in the gym today. Don’t let that put you off though, it’s an excellent addition to any serious strength and conditioning set-up.

One reason for this is it’s ability to reduce tension on the lumbar spine whilst developing lower body power. It does this by allowing you to step “into” the bar instead of standing behind it. This means you will be able to drive more weight off the floor with your hips and legs in a more upright position without the strength of your back coming into question.

The Hex bar is also a useful tool for teaching beginners how to deadlift without the dangers of weak backs and poor flexibility getting in their way, and for tall athletes who struggle to deadlift conventionally.The bar fits in most racks, cages or rigs.

With long loading pins.

Never heard of it? Well that’s probably because it’s one of the most underrated and underused bars in the fitness industry. If a gym has a Cambered bar then you know they don’t skip leg day. Originally used by Powerflifters to help increase their squat numbers it’s now making its way to the rest of the fitness world.

The Cambered bar is the perfect bar for adding variety to your squats. It’s shape forces you to stay tighter in the bottom position of a squat more so than you would with a regular barbell as the center of gravity is shifted slightly forward and becomes unstable if you swing back or forward on the way up.

The shift in the bars center of gravity changes your line and shape just enough to make it a slightly different movement to a regular squat.

It can also be used to the same effect with the Bench press, making the load more unstable hence tougher to control and press off of the chest.

Great for adding a bit of variety and a few new challenges into any training program.
