Why it matters
The Gorila Standard
STRONGMAN'S FAVORITE TOY!
The Stubby version of the Gorila Boa Bar makes it easier for trainers and home gym owners to incoporate Strongman movements in their routine. This compact 59 inches long bar will make every movements just a little worse.
Also called the Axle Bar or the Fat Bar because of its 1,9" thick grip, it is known to be very hard on your forearms and core. Whether you're using it for axle deadlifts, clean and presses, lunges, you are sure to get a good workout out of this one. The unique Gorila Powder Coat is giving it a texture so you can actually lift it, or else it would've been a little too much for your forearms to take.
Warning! Standard Olympic Collars WILL NOT work on the Boa Bar, we recommend using axle Collars.

Excellent!
"Perfect and solid Chubby bar! Really like it!"
Amazing little bar!
"I bought it because I needed a smaller bar for my landmine... I almost never use it for my landmine. Hahaha... This is my go-to for deadlift, row, bicep and tricep. Half of my training is done with it now! And... I had grip problem before... Not anymore. ;) My deadlift with conventional bar has skyrocketed, as my hand, that are really small, always been a limitation. The bar itselft is light, like 20 pounds... It's only an illusion, this will make you swear... To add to the description, the bar has a powdee coating finish that is a bit grippy. It's absolutely enough has I would not like more than this. It needs to be hard. I find that the deadlift is very comfortable with this bar and really engaging. You feel it in your entire body... If you never done deadlift or movement with a non revolving bar, it will need a bit of adjustment, but those adjustments are in reality your body becoming stronger. The stabilisation is not the bushing, that's you. If gorilla ever make a full size version, I would probably buy it too!! I now use fat grips a lot on my powerlifting bar, but I would like to train also with a non revolving full size bar. The only caveat is that the bar is "small" and I only have bumpers. In reality I love the size, because I use it in my homegym, so it helps when I need to prepare multiple excercises. But I can't fit more than 300 pounds with the clips... So make a full size version please! ;) I'll plan to buy calibrated plates especially for this bar...! One thing that I would like to change on it is the gorilla sticker... I would have preferred a painted version rather than a sticker. It's not very pretty and the sticker is slippy. I use it as a reference for the center, but well it's the only point I find that needs to be addressed. No need to remove a star. It's a simple product that does what it should. Just buy it. It's cheap and you gonna sweat like hell."
Great bar — not exactly as pictured
"My bar arrived with a matte black textured powder coat that was pleasantly grippy. The bar did NOT however have the white “Gorilla” logo in the centre as pictured. The welds on the pieces that separate the sleeves from the shaft of the bar are not continuous, but rather spot welded. It’s not what I expected, but it also doesn’t negatively affect quality (you can actually see this in the picture if you zoom in). I got mine on sale and feel I got good value. 2” collars don’t fit. No problem with Olympic plates (they do spin a little)"
perfect little bar
"great for working on that grip strength :]"
Great Bar, Great Price
"This bar works great for home gyms or any small space. Works your grip and does everything am axle bar is supposed to do."
Great for compact gyms
"It’s not complicated, it’s a bar. Great for a smaller gym space due to its size this axle bar has opened up new movements in my home gym. Even better that it’s made in Canada. Well done Gorilla Fitness."
