The Synergee Aluminum Technique Bar weighs in at 15 lbs and is the perfect option for new lifters! Learning a new skill takes time, patience, and incremental steps. The Technique Bar helps with that! It is 20-30 lbs lighter than average Olympic barbell. It has 28 mm diameter, dual knurl markings, and bushings to give a very comparable experience to a standard barbell. With 42 000 psi tensile strength rating and 200 lb weight capacity, this Technique Bar provides a significant and meaningful way to build strength and develop proper form for safe and effective workouts. This bar is compatible with standard bumper plates and collars with 2” openings and can fit in a standard squat rack. NOTE: When you start consistently lifting 135lbs, we recommend moving up to one of our Olympic Bars. LEARN TO LIFT Don’t let the fear of starting with an Olympic Barbell keep you from learning to lift! With similar diameter, knurling, markings, and sleeve construction as a standard barbell, the skills you develop with the Technique Bar can easily be applied to a heavier bar when you’re read to progress! 200 LB MAX CAPACITY This bar can hold up to 200 lbs! Build confidence and add weight so you can develop proper technique and strength at the same time. COMPATIBLE WITH STANDARD WEIGHTS The Synergee Technique Bar has sleeves that are compatible with standard bumper plates and collars. You can workout with the same equipment more advanced lifters are using. Plus, no need to invest in all new accessory equipment when YOU are ready to advance!
