Dumbbells only resist movements in the direction of Gravity. The Radian Sliding Grip Bar offers additional resistance to Adduction of the arms in push workouts. Adduction engages the chest fibers much more than normal push movement!
This bar also resists abduction of the arms in pull workouts!
The resistance increases with increase in weight, and is felt more in the later parts of the working set.
This combined with its symmetrical handle movement, ensures stable control and adds a new dimension to training experience, resulting in a NEXT LEVEL CONTRACTION and Pump!
If the exact movement is copied with dumbbell flies, this bar still proves itself Levels Above in terms of contraction, pump and growth!
However, both Dumbbells and this bar, have their own unique place, and cannot be replaced by the other.
- Symmetrical and Synchronized handle movement - Once both the handles are gripped, the handles move in a symmetrical fashion. This makes the bar more stable than dumbbells, as the motion of both hands remains symmetrical.
Our V2 Sliding Grip Bar is 7 Feet 2 Inches in length, and around 20KG (45lbs) in weight, just like most of the bars seen in a commercial gym. This is the only variant available with the maximum range of motion.
This Bar can be used in a wide range of exercises, including Bench press, Shoulder Press, Rows, Upright Rows, Rear Delt Flies, Bicep Curls, Chest Supported Rows, etc.
The Radian V2 Sliding Grip Bar is suitable for both home and commercial gym use. It is tested for long term durability and smooth performance, ensuring that it will be a long lasting addition to your gym.
- The bar may be oily upon delivery. We advise to handle the bar carefully upon receiving.
- This Bar functions smoothly enough, and does NOT require any lubrication such as gun oil for basic smooth functioning. However, ONLY for the users looking for enhanced smoothness, we recommend spraying gun oil on a two weekly basis. Spray gun oil on the bars shaft, move the handles back and forth many times, and wipe off the gun oil with a dry cloth.
- Attaching a barbell fat grip or a similar item to the center of the bar's shaft is recommended in case of use of gun oil.
- Please ensure that the barbell shaft remains free from dust, dirt and residue by regularly cleaning the shaft with a dry cloth. Residue on the barbell shaft can reduce its smoothness, which can be immediately restored by this step.
- Avoid placing your fingers under and next to the moving handles.
- Keep long hair away from the handles. It is possible that the hair may be caught in the mechanism.
- Weights feel much heavier on this bar as compared to other equipment. Do not overload the bar more than your lifting capacity. We recommend trying the bar without weights initially.
- Avoid rapidly sliding a single handle into the center of the bar's shaft. When transitioning the bar from a bench to a vertical stand, ensure the handle reaches the center gently. Before release, we redesigned and rigorously tested the Radian V2 Sliding Grip Bar to ensure no damage occurs, even if this happens. Despite this, we still recommend exercising caution. There have been ZERO reports of handle damage due to this. The Radian Sliding Grip Barbell V2 is very strongly built and designed for long term durability.
Why not "Just Use Dumbbells" Instead?
Dumbbells primarily resist movement in the direction of gravity. The Radian Sliding Grip Bar V2 goes beyond this by not only resisting motion against gravity but also providing optimal resistance to adduction (bringing the handles closer together) during push exercises in a much better intensity and optimal fashion. Additionally, it resists abduction (moving the handles apart) during pull exercises, enhancing muscle engagement and contraction.
The resistance, combined with the controlled and symmetrical handle movement places the Radian Sliding Grip Bar V2 in a league of its own, offering superior muscle activation compared to traditional dumbbells and barbells. The resistance dynamically increases with added weight, leading to enhanced contraction and an unparalleled pump from the very first use.
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive for push exercises, with many users praising the improved muscle engagement and strength gains. For pull exercises such as rows, upright rows, and rear delt flys, opinions vary—some users highly prefer it, while others opt for traditional equipment.
But don’t just take our word for it—see what our customers have to say below!
Built To Last
Our Radian V2 Sliding Grip Bar has been rigorously tested for over 8 months to guarantee long-lasting, consistent performance. Whether using heavy or light weights, at both slow and fast handle movement speeds, this bar is built to deliver quality and durability.
FASTER EXHAUSTION
This bar actually increases the challenge and difficulty of your workouts, and exhausts muscles in a much quicker time period. It requires a lot of effort even on light weights, and will actually enhance your training experience.
Perfect for Targeting the Inner Chest: Solving a Common Lifter’s Problem
One of the most remarkable features of the Sliding Grip Barbell is its ability to effectively target the inner chest during bench presses—better than any other equipment. For both beginners and advanced lifters, it’s common to feel chest exercises primarily in the outer chest. The Sliding Grip Barbell solves this issue by resisting adduction. Adduction engages the chest much more than just "pushing", therefore forcing the inner chest to engage more fully, providing a workout that finally hits the often-neglected area.
Compared to dumbbell flies, the Radian Sliding Grip Barbell V2 ensures higher and consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion, and all parts of the motion. Additionally, its symmetrical handle movement adds control, significantly improving muscle contraction and mind-muscle connection.
HOME GYM ADVANTAGES
A lot of home gym equipment barely feels as good as a high end commercial gym machine. The Sliding Grip Bar ensures a next level contraction and pump, and exhausts muscles much faster, and is one of the best equipment to deliver actual growth, unmatched contraction and muscle engagement, with a premium feel.
BENEFITS
1. Unique Resistance Style - This bar resists adduction of the arms in bench and shoulder press, and resists abduction of the arms in pull workouts. This resistance makes this bar feel much different from dumbbells and barbells, and gives it a unique feel!
2. Isolation - Due to the bars dynamic handle sliding motion, muscles are much more isolated for a better mind muscle connection. Not just experienced lifters, but even beginners find it easier to target the desired muscle with this bar.
3. Range of Motion - The handles can be moved through the full shaft length, allowing for enhanced range of motion.
4. Versatility - The Radian V2 Sliding Grip Bar is not just for bench press, but can be used in shoulder press, rows, rear delt flies, chest supported rows, upright rows, etc.
3. Less Control Needed - With Radian Sliding Grip Bars synchronized handle movement, there's easier control, and more mind muscle connection compared to dumbbells.
4. Smooth Motion - This bar's handles move in a very smooth fashion due to the unique shaft design and the bearing system.
5. Safe Use - There is no major risk of losing grip or slipping of the handles or the barbell. When both the handles are gripped, the bar or the handles wont slip even if held in a tilted or vertical fashion, and the grips move symmetrically.
6. Different and Unique Feel - The difference from other equipment in terms of elevated muscle contraction, pump and difficulty is felt just at early use.
SYNCHRONIZED HANDLE MOVEMENT
Both the handles of the bar move in a synchronized fashion once both of them are gripped.
TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Initially, practise the exercises using the empty bar, without weights. Then slowly add weights to the movement. Weights feel much heavier on this bar compared to other equipment.
2. For best possible contraction and pump, use medium weight. Do not load the bar more than your capacity.
3. Just at the liftoff, make sure both the handles are equidistant from the Centre. The handles during workout move in a synchronized manner.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Bar weighs 45LBS or 20kg, and is 7 feet 2 inches in length.
Yes, once both the handles are grabbed, they move in synchronized fashion during exercise. In no way under normal circumstances can any handle "slip" while exercising.
Yes, much heavier due to the bars unique style of resistance.
It is 330LBS. It may sound less than needed, but it is very high for a bar of this type, as even people with a 405LBS Bench cant use more than 250LBS on our sliding grip bar due to its unique style of resistance.
Much better contraction and much easier control due to synchronized handle movement.
Yes! The handles are knurled. It's not overly aggressive, but moderately so.
It is Cerakote for both the shaft and sleeves.
Yes, tested severely on both heavy and light weights, on different handle movement speeds.
No, its not just for bench press. It can be used for rows, upright rows, rear delt fly movement and shoulder press as well.
This bar is more stable than dumbbells, and less stable than a normal bar. If you don't find any stability problems with dumbbell presses, you most likely wont find it on this bar too. However, using very heavy weight beyond the user's capacity is dangerous, like it is on every barbell.
