Compact Design, Maximum Performance
The Bantam Bar is the pinnacle of durability, functionality, and style in a sleek, compact form. Engineered to meet the demands of those who prefer a shorter bar without compromising performance, it delivers the same elite quality as the PO Bar—just in a more streamlined design.
Key Features
• Precision Engineering: Available in 28 mm or 30 mm diameters, spanning 70 cm wide, with an extraordinary load capacity of 700 kg (1500 lbs).
• Premium Craftsmanship: Forged from extra-hardened stainless steel with a polished mirror finish for unmatched durability and a striking aesthetic.
• Innovative Hook System: Equipped with carbon-reinforced hooks coated in PTFE (Teflon)—one of the smoothest materials on Earth. Even a gecko, famous for its ability to cling to glass, would slide right off. This ensures effortless band movement, enhanced longevity, and seamless rotation with every rep.
• Optimized Grip: Volcano knurling delivers the perfect balance of firmness and comfort, providing a secure hold without unnecessary abrasions.
• Perfectly Balanced: Weighing 3.4 kg (28 mm) or 4.1 kg (30 mm), including hooks, the Bantam Bar maintains a solid, stable feel, mirroring the confidence of a full-size barbell.
Why Hooks Over Slings?
Slings pull inward, limiting hand placement and causing instability. The Bantam Bar’s hook system keeps bands securely in place, while the Teflon-coated hooks spin with a dazzling smoothness over the stainless steel bar, ensuring better balance, optimal hand placement, and effortless movement for every lift.
Built to Last
Every Bantam Bar is backed by a 5-year warranty, a testament to its superior craftsmanship and enduring reliability.
Frequently Ask Questions
FAQs
Why do I need a bar and platform?
A bar and platform provide a stable base, allowing you to generate more force compared to using bands alone. This setup enables higher resistance levels and full-body engagement, making your workouts more effective for muscle growth. Additionally, it helps distribute force evenly, protecting your hands, wrists, and ankles during exercises.
Can you build muscle with resistance bands?
Yes, resistance bands can effectively build muscle. Studies have shown that training with resistance bands provides similar strength gains to conventional gym equipment.  This is because resistance bands offer continuous tension throughout the movement, leading to significant muscle activation and growth.
What is variable resistance?
Variable resistance refers to the changing resistance levels throughout an exercise’s range of motion. As you move, the resistance increases, aligning with your body’s natural strength curve. This means you’re working against optimal resistance at each point in the movement, leading to improved strength and muscle development.
What makes Heavydutybar different from other band systems?
Unlike traditional band systems, the Heavydutybar features an innovative band-shortening mechanism. This design ensures consistent tension throughout the entire range of motion, addressing the common issue of insufficient tension at the start of movements. This mechanism allows for precise resistance adjustments, facilitating effective progressive overload—a key principle for muscle growth. By providing a stable platform and customizable resistance, the Heavydutybar enhances the effectiveness of resistance band training, making it a superior choice for those seeking efficient and safe muscle development.
Customer Reviews
I have many band bars, but the bantam is the smoothest I have ever used. Extremely easy to add and removes bands. The feel is perfect. The closest to the feel of a bench press with weights you can get. I use a standard bench, double the band up under the bench and hook it on to the bar. Love the feel and movement when doing bench presses.
The Heavy Duty Bar quality is great. My only criticism and reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the physical weight of the bar. It was much heavier than one of their competitors bars that holds about the same capacity. Stainless steel versus an Aluminum blend makes a huge difference. I purchased the Bantam bar due to its relative compactness compared to the PO bar. It may be too heavy to travel with on a plane trip. Likely I only know the difference since I have the other product too.
The personnel at Heavy Duty Bar are wonderful and shipping was extremely quick. I highly recommend this company. They do things right without being Cultish like one of their competitors.
The bar is very well made and it feels very good holding it. The hook design also keeps the bands stable on the hooks unlike the standard metal hooks. I highly recommend this bar.
Very good quality. Very good to train with.
Ordered te pro bands too. Hope these are off the same quality.
By far the best band bar on the market hands down! It feels so much better than another company with a gorilla as the company logo. The option to have thicker bars is great and so is the option to have two different hook sizes. I will for sure be getting more products from them in the future!
