The Original Bamboo Bar® Barbell

The bar that started kinetic training. The original Bandbell bar (the Bamboo Bar) was the first flex barbell, built from hardened ash wood with a composite resin core. It bends under load, which forces the small stabilizing muscles to engage on every rep. Steel bars do not do that. Light enough for rehab work, strong enough for strength building, and the easiest entry point into the Bandbell system for anyone new to kinetic training. Best For Rehab and post-op work where load matters but joint stress cannot Prehab and shoulder health programs General strength training that builds stabilizer engagement Physical therapy clinics, CrossFit boxes, and home gyms Specifications Length 81" Bar Weight 6 lbs Loading Sleeve 13-1/4" Sleeve Diameter 3" Slot Length 8-1/2" Bar Diameter 1-1/2" Collar-to-Collar 54.5" Weight Limit 300 lbs Material Hardened ash wood with composite resin core Origin Handmade in USA
