A Lifetime Of Performance
This means that the Midas' Revenge Barbell will always perform well. This is a bar that’s meant to be used, and with that comes battle scars. Battle scars might look like scuffed collars or wear on the Cerakote shaft, but should be considered badges of honor for a well-used bar.
It won’t break under any circumstances, but if that does happen by chance, send us a message and we’ll get you back on your voyage of strength.
Aggressively Smooth
The Midas’ Revenge Barbell features a moderately-aggressive pyramid knurl covered in a smooth, corrosion-resistant Cerakote finish. It's slow, smooth, predictable spin was designed for slow lifts and powerlifters.
Fit For A King
Buttery, predictable spin from four aerospace-grade bronze oil-lite bushings feels great in your hands and moves smoothly.
Aerospace-grade bushings provide a lifetime of low maintenance and high performance.
If you’re looking for a sexy, ultra-durable general weightlifting barbell, the Midas’ Revenge Barbell will give you gainz as good as gold.
MAKE EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH TURN TO GAINZ.
Based on 11 years of experience and hundreds of thousands of barbells sold, the Midas Revenge Barbell is the gold standard of barbells for garage gyms. Good looks run in this family.

Introducing: Fringe Sport Midas' Revenge Barbell
Is The GOLD Midas Bar Worth The Hype?
YOU'RE WONDERING.
WE GOT YOU.
The Mammoth works out of the box with the lever arm and the belt, which comes free. That said, most owners add the Kickstand. It holds the arm up so you start every rep standing instead of picking the weight up off the floor.
That's why we sell it bundled. Pick + Kickstand & Magpin, or go all in with + Kickstand, Dual Mounted Weight Horns & Magpin. Bundling at checkout costs a lot less than adding the pieces later.
We'll be straight with you. Every lever arm moves in an arc, so you feel less than the full weight of the plates loaded. The fix is length, and the Mammoth's lever runs 39" to 48.75", one of the longest you can buy. A longer lever means a flatter arc and less forward pull.
In our recommended setup you feel about 80% of the load, and up to about 90% with the horn moved closer to you. Most lever belt squats top out around 60%. A standalone machine costs $2,000+ and eats floor space. The Mammoth hangs on your rack. See the full felt load breakdown.
Yes, and watch it before you start. It covers the belt squat and the kickstand. The bolts are big, so have a large wrench or socket set handy.
One tip owners have flagged: don't skip the big washer that goes under the weight horn.
It fits 2x2, 2x3, and 3x3 uprights with either 5/8" or 1" holes. Just pick your hole size at checkout. The one thing to check is that your upright has holes on the side, since that's where the Mammoth mounts.
No side holes? The Wall-Mount Accessory gives you a dedicated belt squat station without tying up your rack. And if it still doesn't work out, you're covered by our 365-day no-drama returns.
Wall-Mount Accessory View Yes. The arm has about 10" of length adjustment, the horn moves, and you can mount it at different heights on your rack. Mount height matters most, especially for shorter lifters who need to clear the kickstand. Our mount height guide walks you through it.
Sharing with someone a lot taller or shorter than you? Dial in a setup for each of you, then switch mount height and arm length between users.
The Mammoth is rated to 900lbs, so the frame isn't your limit. Plate space on a single horn is. Add the Dual Mounted Weight Horns for more room, and they double as handles mid-rep.
Worth knowing: dual horns sit farther back, so felt load drops to about 65%. That's great for big numbers, but run the math before you chase a plate count.
Dual Mounted Weight Horns View The lever arm has a lifetime warranty, and the whole unit is rated to 900lbs. Check that your hardware is snug after the first few sessions.
The belt comes free with every Mammoth. It's padded so it doesn't dig into your hips, and it has 3 sets of D-rings on each side for a small, medium, or large fit. It's covered by a 1-year warranty, and plenty of owners use it for weighted dips too.
Yes. It sits at an angle when it's down, and a spring-loaded lever locks it firmly in place. It's 17" tall, so you start every rep standing and set the weight back down when you're done.
Kickstand View You can, and plenty of people start there. Here's what you get with the Mammoth: a 900lb rating, a kickstand so you start standing, a long adjustable lever, a lifetime warranty on the arm, and a padded belt. It mounts and comes off in seconds. No lumber runs, no guessing if it'll hold.
The horn takes Olympic plates and gives you 14" of loadable space. Iron or thin plates fit the most weight and give your knees the most clearance. Thick bumpers work, but they fill the horn fast and can crowd your stance. Standard 1" plates won't fit.
No rack? The Wall-Mount Accessory turns any solid wall into a belt squat station. Mount it into studs, never just drywall.
Can't drill? Owners also run the Mammoth on squat stands and yokes, as long as the uprights have side holes in 5/8" or 1".
Wall-Mount Accessory View Lookalikes can copy the shape, not the lever. The Mammoth's 39" to 48.75" arm is what gets you up to about 90% felt load. You also get a lifetime warranty on the arm, a real support team behind it, and hundreds of owner reviews. Garage Gym Reviews named it the best budget belt squat for a reason.
At 32lbs, one person can handle it. Hold it in two spots when you lift it off so it doesn't flop to one side.
Want to skip that step entirely? The Swan Neck adds swivel mid-rep and lets the arm store vertically, and the Wall-Mount Accessory gives it a permanent home. Either way, it never has to come off.
The Midas Revenge Bar is suitable for all around use but slightly leaning towards Power Lifting (e.g. bench press, deadlifts, and squats).
Watch this video on how to properly clean your Midas Revenge Bar:
Ideally, you should perform maintenance on your Midas Revenge Bar every 12 to 18 months.
The sleeves are ribbed to ensure that the plates stay in place while lifting.
No, the sleeves are coated in gold colored titanium. Titanium is 40% lighter than high-strength steel, but is just as strong. This means the sleeves on the Midas’ Revenge Bar are ultra-durable and resistant against oxidation. Unfortunately, real gold is super soft and easily bends, so it would be terrible for a coating on a barbell built for super performance.
Cerakote makes a highly effective barrier against oxidation and corrosion. People living in humid environments or on a coast find this advantageous. Cerakote also helps defend against excess sweat (think lifting in Fringe HQ in Austin during hot summer months) and extremely hot and dusty environments as well.
Originally developed for the military for firearms application, Cerakote protects against corrosion resistance, enhances impact strength (so you can drop away!), and chemical resistance in the most extreme conditions worldwide. If the US military uses Cerakote in the harshest conditions in the world, then you bet it’s what’s on our Midas’ Revenge barbell.
This bar is the sexiest thing in my garage gym (except for me). It fits like a dream in my hands and looks AMAZING. I'll never lift with anything else.
