The German Power Bar
In true German fashion, ATX® studied both American and European bars in depth. They conjured up a barbell that, through clever design and manufacturing, matches the performance of bars more than triple the price. No wonder they have been a huge success in the European market – the reviews are out there for you to see.
In Australia we face the same problems as the Europeans. Importing high-end bars from the US is very expensive. We are able to offer this bar at such a competitive price as we bring in large volumes of gym equipment, and in comparison, these bars take up very little space in our containers so don’t absorb too much of our freight costs.
So even though you might not have heard of this bar, do some research before you buy that expensive American bar. The ATX® Ram Bar gives a highly reputable brand, some very impressive stats and a proven track record – all at a very attractive price.
Weight Load Capacity
The weight load capacity varies between exercises due to the relevant load support of the different exercises. Squats are the lowest at 500kg because the load is only supported in the centre of the bar by your shoulders. Conversely, when you bench press your hands are spaced wider than the other lifts. This means there is less strain on the bar.
Regardless these capacities will not be an issue. The person that squats more than 500kgs will no doubt have back wider than the average bench press grip.
Please refer to the table below:
| Grip Type | Maximum Permitted Weight | Example of Exercise |
| Wide Handle Width | 700 kg | Bench Press |
| Medium Handle Width | 600 kg | Deadlift |
| Central/Narrow Handle Width | 500 kg | Squats |
