Why Neutral Grip Changes Everything for Arm Training A straight barbell forces your wrists into a fully pronated (palms-down) or supinated (palms-up) position during curls and extensions. Over time — especially under heavy loads — this rotation stresses the wrist and elbow joints. The triceps bar's vertical parallel grip keeps your hands in a natural hammer position throughout the full range of motion, completely eliminating unwanted wrist torque. The result: you can train heavier, train longer, and recover faster. This is why the tricep bar is the go-to tool for skull crushers, tricep extensions and hammer curls for athletes with joint sensitivity.
✓ Zero Wrist Rotation ✓ Reduced Elbow Strain ✓ Heavier Loads, Safer Reps ✗ Straight Bar: Forces Wrist Rotation
What makes a triceps bar different from every other bar in your rack?
The defining feature is the vertical (parallel) handle orientation — you grip the bar as if you're shaking someone's hand, not turning a steering wheel. This puts the brachialis (the muscle between your bicep and tricep that gives arms their thickness), the brachioradialis (the top of the forearm) and the lateral and long heads of the tricep all under optimal tension during isolation movements. No other bar replicates this geometry — which is why a triceps bar is considered an essential specialist accessory for serious arm development alongside any power rack or functional trainer setup.
Why This Is the Right Bar

Complete Exercise Library — What Can You Train?

ℹ️ Tricep pushdown with the triceps bar: One of the most popular uses of this bar is as a tricep pushdown bar when attached to a cable machine or functional trainer. The neutral parallel grip creates better tricep isolation than a straight pushdown bar and reduces elbow stress during high-rep sets — making it the preferred pushdown attachment for lifters with elbow sensitivity. Use the top pulley of your functional trainer, attach the bar via carabiner, and perform tricep pushdowns with a vertical (hammer) grip for maximum long-head tricep activation.

🔧 Care Guide — Keep Your Triceps Bar in Perfect Condition
1
After every session: Wipe handles and sleeves with a dry cloth to remove sweat. Chrome is corrosion-resistant but sweat is acidic — a 30-second wipe-down extends the life of the finish significantly.
2
Every 1–3 months: Apply a light coat of 3-in-1 oil to the sleeve area. Use a nylon brush to clear chalk or rubber debris from the grip knurling.
3
Coastal gyms (Gold Coast, Northern Beaches, Fremantle): A light silicone spray on the chrome frame every few months prevents surface freckling in high-humidity salt-air environments.
Who Is This For?

The Triceps Bar Is Ideal For

  • Home gym owners targeting arm development — the triceps bar unlocks skull crushers, hammer curls and neutral-grip pressing that a standard barbell cannot replicate. One compact bar adds an entirely new training category
  • Anyone with wrist, elbow or rotator cuff sensitivity — the neutral grip is the most joint-friendly position for arm training. Widely used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation programming for tennis elbow and wrist recovery
  • Powerlifters & strength athletes doing tricep accessory work — skull crushers and close-grip pressing with neutral grip allow heavier tricep loading without the elbow flare that straight bars can cause under heavy weight
  • PT studios & personal trainers — high-utility specialist bar that works across all fitness levels. Particularly valuable for older clients or those returning from upper body injuries where standard bars cause discomfort
  • Cable machine and functional trainer users — use as a tricep pushdown bar attachment for cable tricep pushdowns with neutral grip — superior to a straight pushdown bar for reducing elbow stress at high reps
  • Beginners building arm training habits — the forgiving neutral grip makes technique easier to learn. Lower joint stress during the early stages of arm development means fewer setbacks and more consistent training

Frequently Asked Questions

Triceps Bar — FAQ

A triceps bar (also called a tricep bar, hammer curl bar or neutral grip bar) is a compact specialty barbell with vertical parallel grip handles. Unlike a straight barbell which forces your hands into a fully pronated or supinated position, the triceps bar keeps your wrists in a neutral hammer position throughout every rep. This eliminates wrist rotation and reduces elbow joint stress. Primary uses include: skull crushers (lying tricep extension), overhead tricep extensions, hammer curls, tricep pushdowns on a cable machine, and neutral-grip pressing movements for shoulders and chest. It is also widely used as a rehabilitation tool for people with tennis elbow, wrist pain or rotator cuff issues.
An EZ curl bar has angled (wavy) grips that place your hands in a semi-supinated position — better than a straight bar, but not fully neutral. A triceps bar has vertical parallel handles that place your hands in a completely neutral position — as if shaking someone's hand. This true neutral grip is superior for hammer curls (which specifically target the brachialis), skull crushers and any movement where full wrist neutrality is needed to protect the joint. The tricep bar is also significantly more compact — 860mm vs 120cm+ for most EZ bars — and can be used as a cable attachment for tricep pushdowns.
Yes — and this is one of the best uses of a tricep bar. Attach the bar to the top pulley of a cable machine or functional trainer via carabiner, and perform tricep pushdowns with a neutral (hammer) grip. This grip position keeps the elbows tucked and the wrists straight throughout the movement, providing superior tricep isolation compared to a straight pushdown bar and significantly less elbow stress during high-rep sets. Many lifters find the tricep pushdown with a triceps bar more comfortable than a v-bar or straight cable attachment, particularly those with existing elbow sensitivity.
A complete tricep bar workout should include movements targeting all three heads of the tricep. Recommended tricep bar exercises: (1) Skull crushers — lying on a bench, lower the bar to the forehead for long-head tricep development; (2) Overhead tricep extension — seated or standing, arms overhead for maximum long-head stretch; (3) Close-grip neutral press — bench press variation targeting all three heads; (4) Tricep pushdown — using a cable machine for high-rep finisher sets; (5) JM press — hybrid movement between a skull crusher and close-grip bench. Pair with hammer curls for a complete arm training session.
Yes — the neutral grip tricep bar is widely recommended for people with wrist pain, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow and rotator cuff issues. The vertical handle position removes the forearm rotation that straight bars require, significantly reducing stress on the wrist and elbow joints throughout all arm training movements. Many physiotherapists include neutral-grip bar training in elbow and wrist rehabilitation programmes. If you have a diagnosed condition or recent injury, consult your physiotherapist before returning to loaded arm training — but for general wrist and elbow sensitivity, the tricep bar is typically the most comfortable loaded arm training option available.
No. This is an Olympic triceps bar with 50mm sleeves — the universal Olympic standard. You need Olympic weight plates with a 50mm centre hole. Standard plates with a 25mm centre hole will not fit. This bar is compatible with all bumper plates, cast iron Olympic plates and rubber-coated Olympic plates. If you are unsure which plates you have, contact us on 1300 247 888 before ordering and we will confirm compatibility.
The tricep bar is used free-standing for most exercises — picked up from the floor or a rack peg — rather than racked across J-hooks like a standard barbell. For skull crushers and floor press you load the bar and hand it to yourself or have a training partner assist. It stores on any standard rack peg or barbell holder. For tricep pushdowns and cable exercises, you attach it to the cable of a functional trainer or cable machine via carabiner. It is not designed to sit across J-hooks for squatting or deadlifting — it is a specialist arm and pressing bar only.

A v bar (v-shaped cable attachment) places your hands in a semi-supinated position at about 45 degrees — better than a straight bar but not fully neutral. The tricep bar used as a pushdown attachment places your hands in a fully neutral (vertical) position, which is the most joint-friendly orientation for the elbow during pushdown movements. The tricep bar also allows a slightly wider grip than most v bars, which some lifters find reduces shoulder tension during pushdowns. Both are valid attachments — the triceps bar provides the most neutral wrist and elbow position of any pushdown option.
