- Compared to Dumbbells and Barbells, the Radian Sliding Grip Bar significantly enhances contraction and pump by resisting handle adduction in push workouts, and abduction in pull workouts, which adds another aspect of desired resistance in your workouts which dumbbells and normal barbells don't offer - significantly improving mind muscle connection and delivering growth.
- This bar offers the functionality, freedom and range of motion of dumbbells with the stability of a Barbell, with a contraction of a high end machine.
- Symmetrically moving handles add stability to the movements, so users can focus more on muscle contraction and training.
- Suitable for Bench Press, Shoulder Press, Rows, Upright Rows, Rear Delt Flies, Bicep curls, and Chest supported rows.
- Also available on AMAZON USA. Click here for the link.
- The white handle rings are now changed to stainless steel.
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.
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.
This barbell is engineered to enhance muscle contraction and deliver an intense pump. For optimal results, we recommend using a weight that is neither too light nor too heavy—this allows for the smoothest motion with maximum contraction.
Due to the bar’s unique design, even lighter weights can feel significantly heavier, so it's best to start at a lower weight and gradually increase until you find the right resistance for your exercises.
- 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.
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.
- This bar does not necessarily require any extra lubrication. However, for users looking for a smoother motion, we recommend a light spray of Teflon over the shaft.
- 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!
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.
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.
