Article Synopsis
- A new weightlifting product called the Tri-Bar, shaped like a triangle, is designed to improve grip comfort and muscle endurance compared to traditional round bars.
- A study involving 32 moderately trained males showed that participants had longer hang times using the Tri-Bar (107.6 seconds) compared to a standard bar (95.4 seconds) during fixed hangs.
- However, when using revolving handles, the standard bar outperformed the Tri-Bar in grip endurance, suggesting that the Tri-Bar may be beneficial for certain isometric exercises but less effective when rotation is involved.
