Product Summary
Affordable, versatile, and well-made, Sunny Health & Fitness Olympic Barbell Hex Bar is a solid choice for anyone on a budget. Featuring a unique swivel handgrip, use this bar with either a horizontal or vertical grip for a variety of exercises including deadlifts, presses, farmer’s carry, and more. The knurled diamond shaped pattern helps you grip and prevents slippage.
The 11-inch sleeves can be loaded with any 2-inch diameter plates. Sunny Health & Fitness includes safety clips with your purchase, which is a nice little perk. The 400-pound load capacity is decent but may not be enough for those who plan to lift heavy, while deadlifting for instance. The hex bar weighs 22 pounds, which, compared to competitors, is a bit less than traditionally seen on these speciality bars.
If you are looking for some workout inspiration, Sunny Health & Fitness houses a library of workouts on their website as well as on Youtube for free. Users appreciate the easy assembly and environmentally friendly packaging.
