The REP Cambered Swiss Bar is the perfect addition to any gym. This multi-grip barbell is an incredibly versatile tool for strength training. The cambered design provides a greater range of motion, and the different grips target specific muscle groups. All handles on the bar take advantage of the camber, which means the weight is offset from your grip. This creates a pendulum effect, so you have to engage more muscles to stabilize the bar, creating a different stimulus than a traditional barbell. The outermost handle is also set at a deficit so you can pull the bar into a deeper range of motion.
Moderately knurled handles help with grip, especially on pull exercises. We took the classic, cambered design and made it even better. Our round tubing prevents any discomfort when the bar is loaded on your body. The removable eyebolt adds a level of versatility to your training and can be used as a cable attachment. Not to mention, our barbell fits standard clips, so you don't need to buy new ones. This is easily one of the best multi-grip barbells on the market.

REMOVABLE EYEBOLT
The added eyebolt allows our Cambered Swiss Bar to be used as a cable attachment. This is one of the only multi-grip barbells on the market with this functionality. -
THREE GRIPS
Our three grips have been thoughtfully placed to help relieve any shoulder discomfort and provide placement for more targeted muscle training . -
ROUND TUBING
Most competitors use square tubing because it’s easier to weld. We used round tubing because it makes for more comfortable loading on your chest and a better-quality bar. Not to mention our bar is a standard 45lbs. -
KNURLED HANDLES
Our knurled handles offer just the right amount of grip without being too aggressive, giving you a better hold during your workouts. -
HARD CHROME SLEEVES
Our hard chrome sleeves are not only a more premium material, but also more durable and were designed to fit standard clips. You won’t have to buy a specialty set to use our bar. -
RACKABLE
We added more space between the outermost handle and the collar so this bar is rackable on most setups.

To spice up your routine! The grip variation gives your body a break from the standard positions. This can benefit overworked areas like the shoulders or be the change in muscle recruitment to blast through strength plateaus. This bar can also be used for a variety of movements like bench press, shoulder press, bent over rows, seal rows, bicep curls, skull crushers, lat pulldowns, and much more!
All handles on the bar take advantage of the camber, which means the weight is offset from your grip. This creates a pendulum effect, so you have to engage more muscles to stabilize the bar, driving a different stimulus than a traditional barbell. The outermost handle is also set at a deficit so you are able to pull the bar into a deeper range of motion.
We went through multiple iterations and did our homework with this product. First, we reviewed existing products to determine strengths and weaknesses. We leveraged our engineering team’s knowledge and an experienced consumer review group to create the ultimate feel. We are confident that this bar has the best feel of any bar on the market, regardless of your size!
Using all round tube is not the easiest way to produce this bar, but it provides the best feel. Many bars utilize flat plate outer sections and when it hits you, it hurts! The round tube prevents point loading when the bar contacts your body. This means you can focus strictly on the motion and getting your best workout!
The camber allows for a potentially deeper stretch or range of motion. As an example, using the widest grip for a bench press will result in the hands to lower farther than usual. But because the weight is not in line with the handle for the other hand positions, this creates a pendulum effect, which means that you have to work extra hard to stabilize. This combines the benefit of a flat Swiss (straight handles) and a football bar (angled handles). Our handle positions have been optimized to take advantage of the camber and give the bar a lot of different uses wrapped into one package.
You can load 810lbs of additional weight (aka nine Olympic, iron 45s per side). If you can also lift it, we'd be very impressed.
Nope! Our bar fits standard collars!
