Not just the original--it debuted in 1994--but the best known and most widely used thick bar in top-tier strongman and grip competitions, the one that has more world records set on it than all the others combined. While the Apollon's Axle excels in strongman and grip, it's also perfect for anyone interested in functional strength.
In 2011, IronMind made a stretched Apollon's Axle for the World's Strongest Man contest, to be used in the squat event--where it's served admirably ever since.

It is badass. | 6/26/2021 | |
I use this bar for bench press , squats and biceps curl. It feels comfortable even for a 137 pound guy like me. About the rust , yeah it rusts quickly but we will not outlast this bar. Ironmind products are one of a kind. | ||

A Great All Around Bar | 9/29/2016 | |
The Apollons Axle is by far my favorite bar. It fits well in my power rack and I have been using it for several decades now. The bar is strong and I use it for squats, standing presses, bench presses and standing heel raises. You will not find a better thick bar anywhere. | ||

Axles do rust | 6/5/2016 | |
I have two of these bars, and theyre great for strength training, particularly hand strength. The problem: they rust at the drop of a hat. Ive written asked why they are not treated like Olympic bars which dont rust and seem to last forever. I received a reply politely suggesting that only wimps want rust proof bars! | ||

Its really cool... | 7/3/2013 | |
Just got my bar last week, and its exactly as described! Smooth as hell, beefy, and looks cool with olympic plates or tires. The staff of Iron Mind were awesome too in helping ship it to me in Alberta Canada. Highly recomend both Iron Mind and the Apollons Axle! | ||
