Description

The Curved Swiss Barbell is the perfect product for anyone looking to reduce the risk of wrist or shoulder injuries and take pressure off their joints.

This barbell has three grips on each side, giving the user the option to choose a different type of comfort, or a different focus on a particular muscle group. Note the slightly knurled surface of each grip, which helps the user get a better grip on the bar.

Its particular curved shape allows for a greater range of motion (ROM) in the negative phase of the movement, increasing muscle activation and offering an extra stimulus for strength and hypertrophy.

Constructed from high-strength steel and finished with Ironside Armour’s signature black powder coat, this bar combines durability, aggressive design and advanced functionality. Choose the Ironside Armour Swiss Bar to add variety to your workouts and maximize your results.

FAQs

What is the specific use of the Swiss Bar?

This barbell is perfect for adding variety to your workout! The grip variations offer an alternative to standard positions, relieving stress on overworked areas like the shoulders and wrists, encouraging different muscle recruitment to overcome strength plateaus. It can be used for a wide range of exercises, including bench press, shoulder press, bent over rows, seal rows, bicep curls, skull crushers, lat pulldowns and more!

Why was this curved design chosen?

This purpose-built design allows for a greater range of motion, providing the ability to stretch deeper. Additionally, because the weight is not aligned with the handles, it creates a pendulum effect that forces you to work harder to stabilize the barbell, engaging more muscles and providing a different stimulus than a traditional barbell.

The handle positions have been optimized to maximize the curvature, making this barbell versatile and suitable for a variety of exercises. This combines the benefits of a straight grip barbell with an angled grip barbell, all in one tool.

What external covering was it designed with?

Unlike many other finishes applied to the outside of steel, this barbell is treated with a multi-stage chemical process that improves both its wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The process hardens the outside of the steel, making it extra tough, while also leaving a nice shiny finish. The barbell will be more resistant to corrosion than other finishes and will not wear as easily, as it is not a coating and therefore cannot chip.

What is the difference between bushings and bearings?

Bushings are made of self-lubricating materials, such as bronze or special alloys, and allow for smooth rotation without the use of complex moving parts. They are highly resistant to wear and require little maintenance, making them perfect for heavy-duty use in environments such as commercial gyms.

Bearings use balls or needles inside a metal cage to reduce friction and allow for extremely fast and smooth rotation. They are essential for dynamic exercises such as snatches and cleans and jerks, where the barbell must rotate quickly. They require periodic maintenance and can be more susceptible to wear and tear with heavy, prolonged use.

How do you clean the protective oil on the barbell shaft?

When your barbell arrives home, it will have a light coating of oil on the shaft and sleeves, which is to protect the barbell during shipping. After a few uses, this coating of oil will begin to dissipate, however, if desired, it can be cleaned using a rag and a disinfectant cleaner that does not contain harsh chemicals (such as bleach, ammonia, alcohol, or peroxide). Finally, apply a protective coating of a spray-on deoxidizer that has excellent water-repellent properties.

What types of tests have been done to ensure rust resistance?

We have conducted extensive salt spray testing to ensure industry-leading performance and unmatched rust resistance.

What is hard chrome and how is it different from regular chrome?

The main difference lies in the thickness of the coating and the resulting wear resistance.

Regular chrome is the shiny finish you find on car rims, musical instruments, tools, and hardware. It offers good rust resistance but is more prone to wear and flaking over time.

Hard Chrome is most commonly used in industrial applications requiring high wear resistance. It is much stronger and less likely to flake or deteriorate than regular chrome.

What does the knurling style indicate?

The knurling style indicates the characteristic pattern that is applied to a particular barbell, and serves to improve the grip during training.

Our barbells offer three types of knurling: hill , volcano and mountain .

The hill is a more passive style, non-abrasive on the hands and ideal for training bars. Perfect for those training with moderate loads or for long sessions, where comfort is a priority.

The mountain is the most aggressive style, designed for powerlifting bars. It offers the most secure grip for tackling maxes or extreme loads, and is ideal for those looking for maximum control during exercises.

The Volcano is the most common style of weightlifting barbell and is ideal for mixed use. It provides excellent grip without being overly abrasive and perfectly balances grip and comfort, making it the most versatile choice.

Are Ironside Armour barbells compatible with other brands of plates and equipment?

Our barbells are designed to be compatible with all standard plates with 2 inch (50 mm) diameter center holes.

The sleeves seem to be scratched, how is this possible?

If the sleeves seem to be scratched, wipe them down with a cloth and they will be as good as new. The coating is so tough that it can actually remove material from the inside of the discs, but the sleeves will not scratch or chip.

How do I take care of my barbell?

This barbell is designed to last for many years with minimal maintenance. Simply apply our deoxidizing spray lubricant every 2-4 weeks with excellent water-repellent properties, useful for removing moisture from the treated surfaces, and providing a long-lasting protective action.

To clean dirt or chalk from the knurling you can also use a brush and finally apply our lubricant.

Why should I choose your barbell?

This barbell is designed for athletes who appreciate refined details and are willing to invest a little more to have a product designed to last for many years, which never goes unnoticed in any gym.

This is a high-end barbell, equipped with premium features, fully compliant with the standards of the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), and further distinguishes itself with the specially designed customization options, which establish a status of excellence for those seeking the ultimate in performance and design.
