Lift big in tiny spaces.

Couldn’t think of another tagline here… we just kept coming up short.

Benefits of the Short Utility Bar

  • COMPACT GYM LIFESAVER
    Whether you’re lifting in a broom closet under the stairs (is that you, Harry?) or looking to optimize the usability of your Hydra Trident Station, a short barbell is a saving grace for a space-constrained home gym. At just 69 inches long, the Short Utility Bar is remarkably easier to maneuver. Fit landmine exercises where you otherwise couldn’t. Store it in a Vertical Bar Holder, despite having 7.5-foot ceilings (we see you, basement dweller). A shorter length even makes loading weight plates easier, so you no longer have to dodge the ends of your bar like Neo from The Matrix 🕶
  • MULTI-PURPOSE ALL-STAR

    Sometimes, the best does come in small packages. So, we took our best-selling Utility Barbell and (literally) trimmed a little off the top. This means you still get its beloved features; versatile 28.5mm diameter, dual knurl markings, centre knurl for better grip on squats, and a durable black zinc coating. We even matched the sleeve finish for an all-black look that’ll turn heads. Obviously, the rackable version is more practical for squats and bench presses… But with its solid 1,000lb capacity, this non-rackable short barbell takes the cake for deadlifts and Olympic lifts in tight quarters 🏋️‍♀️

  • COMMERCIAL GYM CHAMPION
    This short barbell isn’t just for home gym enthusiasts, commercial gym owners will appreciate its compactness just as much. By saving a whopping 17.6 inches compared to a typical Olympic bar, your gym will feel more spacious whether your clients are doing deadlifts and rows or cleans and snatches. Combined with the Rackable Short Utility Bar, you can place your power racks or the stations of your rig closer together for even more space gainz. All this, so you can coach larger groups in the same amount of time — great for their sense of community, and your bottom line 💰
