American Thin Press Cambered Angle Grip Bar

Built for Focus, Trust, and Strength

We merged the thinner, steadier American Thin frame with our most versatile handle layout—angled grips—and dropped the middle for bigger range. The camber can face up or down so you choose extended or restricted motion on every set.

Why Choose the Cambered Angled Grip

• Two Ranges in One Bar – Camber down for deep stretch presses; flip it up for short-path overloads.
• Eight Shoulder-Friendly Grips – Four widths (7", 16.5", 24", 30") plus forward or reverse angles double your options.
• Natural Wrist Alignment – Angled handles reduce joint stress and allow easy reverse-grip pressing.
• Plates Clear 3×3 Posts – Weight stops moved 2" outward keep iron away from rack and bench uprights.
• Slim, Stable Frame – 3" thinner than the original American Press Bar for steadier presses and smoother force transfer.
• USA-Made Durability – Fully welded, powder-coated steel built to outlast cheap imports.

FAQ

Why isn’t there knurling on the handles?

These bars have a textured powder coat that gives a good grip. Adding knurling would significantly raise the price because we make the bars in small batches. If demand grows, we may add knurling later.

Do the sleeves spin?

No. Spinning sleeves would also raise costs and are unnecessary for the pressing and rowing moves this bar is made for. A solid sleeve keeps the bar strong and the price fair.
