American Thin Press Cambered Neutral Grip Bar

Built for Focus and Strength

We took our thinnest press frame and added a 2.5-inch camber. Now you can press deeper, blast triceps harder, and still Trust the rock-solid feel of a neutral grip.

Why Choose the Cambered Neutral Grip

• Extended + Restricted ROM – Flip the camber up or down to stretch the bottom or shorten the path for heavy overloads.
• Eight Shoulder-Friendly Grips – Neutral widths at 7", 16.5", 24", 30", and center brace give you choices equal to a full dumbbell rack.
• More Plate Clearance – Weight stops moved 2" outward keep plates away from 3×3 rack posts.
• Greater Wrist Stability – The bar is 3" thinner than our original American Press Bar, so it feels steady even under max effort loads.
• USA Welded & Powder-Coated – One-piece construction that outlasts 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.
