Product Features

  • MASTER YOUR TECHNIQUE

    The lightweight aluminum construction gives just the right amount of resistance without compromising safely, so you can focus on your form. Basically, it's a more functional alternative to a dowel but that's just a TECH-nicality.

  • GREAT FOR MANY USERS

    Whether your kids want to try resistance training or Grandma wants to lift heavy, this bar accommodate lifters of all skill levels. The passive knurling and dual lifting marks are helpful for when they're ready for an Olympic barbell.

  • YOUR WARM-UP SIDEKICK

    The 65lb capacity is perfect for warm-ups and mobility work, allowing you to load up to 25lbs per side. It's just enough to help you shake out the cobwebs without shocking the ol' joints on those early morning & late night workouts.

Product Details

It's time to retire your technique dowel! The Aluminum Technique Bar is a 15-pound bar that mimics the look and feel of a regular Olympic bar, but with a fraction of the weight.

Thanks to the 51.5" distance between the sleeves, it's rackable in most power racks, making it perfect for learning and refining your technique on the barbell lifts. 

You can also use it for warm-ups, mobility drills, and accessory exercises. It's suitable for anyone who wants to improve their lifting skills and performance, from beginners to experts.

IMPORTANT: Dropping the Technique Bar should be avoided to extend its lifespan. Due to its aluminum construction, it has a 65lb total weight capacity.

    Great bar for a beginner adult powerlifter

    My wife, mid-aged, needs to start a program to build her bone strength. My powerlifting bar was too much for her to safely learn and work through various exercises, so we purchased this bar as her starting point. The transition from the Aluminum Technique Barbell to a heavier grade bar should feel natural thanks to the overall similar design, size, etc.

    The bar itself appears well crafted. The spin is smooth but not too eager. The shaft is beautifully finished with a bright look and a knurl that is appropriate for the weight range. The finish is a matte similar to stainless but bright similar to chrome. The sleeves have yet to mark with oiling, but I suspect with cast iron plates some striations will eventually show. I also suspect that any such marks will look at home and appropriate.

    I tested it with one 25 pound plate on each side for various presses, lifts, and squats and the bar held just fine with no concern for structural integrity. If one uses it for powerlifting and doesn't drop it all over the place then I don't see why slightly larger plates, like 35s, wouldn't work. I expect it to last a long time, and even after my wife transitions to a new bar this will remain perfect for kids, warm-ups, and... well... technique practice.

    Shipping was the usual experience, and the bar arrived appropriately protected despite a tear in the cardboard tube. I've been maintaining it weekly with a nylon brush and 3-in-one oil.

    My review is in the context of owning…

    Todd, this is an incredible review. Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful breakdown.

    We love that you picked up the Aluminum Technique Barbell to help your wife build strength safely and confidently. That smooth but controlled spin, approachable knurl, and familiar feel are exactly what we aim for so the jump to a heavier bar feels natural when the time comes.

    It is awesome to hear you put it through presses, lifts, and squats right out of the tube and felt confident in its integrity. And you are absolutely right. A few honest sleeve marks over time just add character and show the work being put in. A well loved bar tells a story.

    We also appreciate the nod to the finish and craftsmanship, especially coming from someone who owns a fully stainless powerlifting bar. That means a lot. Sounds like this bar is going to have a long life in your gym from technique work to warm ups to the next generation getting under the bar.

    Thanks again for trusting us with your home gym and for the detailed care routine. That bar is in good hands.

    Yours in strength,

    The B.o.S. Crew.

    Great light-weight bar

    I bought this bar for my daughter who is just starting out lifting. It's a great quality bar at a light weight for her to learn proper technique with.

    Thanks for the 5-star review, Alex. We're thrilled to hear that the Aluminum Technique Barbell is working out so perfectly for your daughter as she starts her lifting journey.

    You're absolutely spot on about it being ideal for learning proper technique—that lighter weight really lets beginners focus on nailing their form without being overwhelmed by a heavy bar. It's awesome that you chose such a thoughtful piece of equipment to help her build that solid foundation.

    Yours in strength,
    The B.o.S. Crew.
