"El Gordazo" is the patriarch of our ultra garage gear, axle bar family, "The Gordos." All that time at the taqueria has paid off and turned him into if not lean, beefy, mean, lifting machine.
The rock solid "El Gordazo" will make your strongman dreams a reality. This burly, belly full of a bar (think continental cleans) works your forearms and comes in handy for strongman training and competitions..
There are a few things to note for the Axle Barbell.
Axle bars or "fat bars" have long been used in strongman competitions. There are two unique aspects to fatbar training:
United StatesThis item is as described; a big, fat, heavy bar. The length is a few inches shorter than a standard barbell. I've had one workout doing deadlifts with it and it performed great. I was concerned about the lack of knurl marks but it wasn't an issue. You know where to grab the bar after so many years of training. I anticipate that it will do wonders for forearm / grip development.
United StatesGreat, the bar did fine loaded to over 400#s. Did cleans, continentals and dead lifts with it and it was wonderful. Good grip and finish. The 45#s make it heavy duty even when dropped from overhead. Great purchase.
United StatesIt’s the only 45lb. well-made standard collar fitting fixed collar having axle bar on the market. And it’s relatively cheap. Best bang for your buck. It’s as if Yamaha started making gym equipment - that’s fringe sports.
United StatesThis is a solid bar, well constructed and the same weight as my traditional bars. I have been incorporating it into more workouts than I anticipated. For example, I didn't plan to use it for benching, but I find I like to use it for that movement. I predominantly purchased it to improve grip strength and it has helped with that. Packaging could use an upgrade or reinforcement, but this is not a reflection on the bar itself.
United StatesI went looking for an axle bar and Fringe Sport was the only one I found that weighed like an Olympic bar and not 20-30 pounds like so many other options. Great quality and finish. UPS somehow delivered to the wrong address and the address refused the delivery. UPS sent it back to Fringe Sport. I contacted Fringe Sport and they got another bar shipped out to me the same day!
