Phat Bars

Training Powerlifting
1

A couple of guys have got some fat bars (olympic plate hole width, and 3 in diameter).

I am intrigued by these and understand that they can have benefits in including them into a training cycle, but i have a couple of questions…

What kind of benefit can be derived from using them in place of o bars?

What kind of exercises and set/rep schemes have people used.

I have done some 1 hand snatches and they are a whole different kettle of fish than with an o bar!

Your kind help required.

cheers

They work the grip more…or the grip gets worked more…however you wish to see it.

Don’t say kettle, it’ll make people scream about Pavel and aggressive marketing.

…It’s mostly a grip thing with the thicker bars.

thought as much.

KETTLE!
