Overview
A 29 inch steel weight bar built to add resistance to Total Gym home machines, used for exercises like bench press, squats, and deadlift style movements on the glide board.
This is an accessory bar, not free weights, it is designed to hold standard plates and clip onto compatible Total Gym frames to increase resistance beyond the machine's own incline based load. No plates are included.
- 29 inch length
- Compatible with 2000, 2200, 2500, 3000, 3000XL, XL, XLS, Electra, FIT, FIT Signature Series
- Rated for up to 90 lb added per side
- Steel construction
Who it's for
For Total Gym owners on the compatible model list who want to progress past the bodyweight resistance the incline system provides on its own. Not usable on Total Gym models outside the listed range, and not a standalone barbell for floor lifting.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Adds plate loaded resistance beyond stock Total Gym incline resistance
- Fits a wide range of Total Gym models
- Plates are not included
- Only fits the listed Total Gym models, not universal
Performance notes
The bar is rated for up to 90 pounds of added plates per side, but the seller is explicit that bar weight, plate weight, and user body weight combined cannot exceed your specific Total Gym model's maximum user weight rating, so the real ceiling depends on which machine you own.
