York Fitness Standard 1" Solid Tricep Bar

York Fitness Standard 1" Solid Tricep Bar

 

York Fitness Standard 1" Solid Tricep Bar is designed to increase strength and muscle tone of the triceps whilst taking pressure off the wrists.

The two parallel handles in the middle of the bar allow you to turn your hands perpendicular to a standard barbell hold making it more comfortable to exercise for longer. 

The 34" bar is made from solid chromed steel and along with triceps can help develop biceps, back, and shoulders. 

The bar weighs 6.7 KG without weight plates so can be used on its own before adding more standard 1" weight plates.

The bar requires York Fitness standard 1" Spring Collars to secure the plates however these are not included but sold separately. 

The parallel bars in the middle provide an ideal grip for doing overhead tricep extensions and can also be used to do other exercises such as bicep hammer curls and the shoulder press.
