Specialty Barbells – Purpose-Built Bars for Smarter Strength Training

Upgrade your training with specialty barbells designed to target specific movements, improve safety, and unlock new gains. From trap bars to safety squat bars, our range helps lifters train around injuries, isolate muscle groups, or simply change up the feel of classic lifts.

These purpose-built bars are trusted by coaches, PTs and experienced lifters across Australia — and they’re all part of our weight plates and barbells collection for serious training setups.

Unlock New Lifts With Specialty Barbells

Unlike standard straight bars, specialty lifting bars are shaped for specific movement patterns. Whether you want to reduce shoulder strain, improve squat mechanics or challenge your grip, these bars let you train more effectively and stay injury-free.

Popular options include:

• Trap bars for deadlifts with reduced back strain

• Safety squat bars for better posture and quad activation

• Swiss bars with multiple neutral grips for upper body training

Need weight plates to go with your bar? Our Olympic plate range fits all specialty bars with 50mm sleeves, or try standard weight plates for lighter accessory work.

Designed for Control, Comfort & Progress

These bars are ideal for:

• Rehab or post-injury training – Adjust loading angles for comfort and safety

• Sport-specific or powerlifting programs – Fine-tune strength with targeted variations

• Functional strength and hypertrophy – Add variety and reduce plateaus
