Body-Solid Fat Grip Olympic Bar: Build Stronger Grip and Superior Lifting Performance
Take your strength training to the next level with the Body-Solid Fat Grip Olympic Bar, a specialized barbell designed to challenge your grip, strengthen your forearms, and increase muscle engagement during every lift. Unlike traditional Olympic bars, the OB86FG features an oversized 2-inch diameter grip that forces your hands, wrists, and forearms to work harder.
The increased grip demand creates a more challenging training experience, helping athletes improve grip strength while enhancing performance across multiple barbell movements.
Designed for serious lifters, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts, the Body-Solid Fat Grip Olympic Bar provides a unique way to intensify standard strength exercises without changing your workout routine.
Oversized 2-Inch Grip for Increased Strength Development
The defining feature of the Body-Solid Fat Grip Olympic Bar is its extra-thick 2-inch diameter grip.
Compared to standard barbells, the thicker grip requires greater activation from:
- Forearm muscles
- Hand muscles
- Wrist stabilizers
- Grip muscles
This increased engagement helps create a more demanding workout experience while supporting improvements in grip endurance and lifting control.
Improve Grip Strength Across Multiple Exercises
A stronger grip can improve performance in many strength movements. The OB86FG Fat Grip Olympic Bar allows users to train grip strength while performing familiar exercises.
Ideal exercises include:
- Squats
- Deadlifts
- Bench presses
- Rows
- Overhead presses
- Barbell training movements
By incorporating a thicker grip into traditional exercises, users can challenge supporting muscles and develop stronger overall lifting mechanics.
Challenge Stabilizer Muscles for Better Performance
The Body-Solid Fat Grip Olympic Bar increases the difficulty of standard barbell exercises by requiring additional control and stabilization.
The thicker grip encourages:
- Increased muscle activation
- Improved control during lifts

- Enhanced training intensity
This makes it an effective tool for athletes looking to break through training plateaus.
