Description

York Barbell Extreme 2” Grip Olympic Weight Bar

The York Extreme Grip Olympic Chrome Bar features a thicker-than-standard 2-inch grip for a different lifting experience. Its oversized diameter challenges your grip strength and provides variety in pressing and pulling movements. Built with a chrome finish and rotating sleeves, it combines durability with practical functionality.

Key Features

  • Thick 2″ (51 mm) Grip Diameter
    The oversized grip diameter offers an alternative to standard bars, providing added forearm activation and a different feel during pressing and pulling exercises.
  • Solid Build with Chrome Finish
    Constructed from North American steel with nut-and-bolt assembly. Chrome finish helps resist surface wear.
  • Olympic Specs with Swivel Sleeves
    Measuring 7 feet long and weighing about 55 lbs, the bar sports 2″ sleeves that rotate on bushings—making plate changes smoother and handling more fluid.
  • Commercial-Grade Durability
    Designed with heavy-gauge construction suitable for repeated use in home, school, or gym environments.

User Interface & Experience

The thicker grip provides a unique lifting experience compared to standard Olympic bars. The rotating sleeves allow plates to be loaded and unloaded smoothly. This design makes it suitable for varied lifting routines, whether pressing or pulling.
