The Hexlite™ training bar, developed by Iron Maven, is the ultimate tool for teaching proper lifting mechanics to athletes, physical education students, patients, and general fitness clients. At 10 kg (22 lbs), the Hexlite™ training bar is the lightest full-size, dual-handled hexagonal bar on the market, less than half the weight of most hexagonal bars. Start with weight as light as 32 lbs. and teach anyone how to protect the back and lift with optimal body mechanics.
Strength coaches and general fitness professionals can use the Hexlite™ training bar as a tool to develop body awareness, core stability, and lower body strength and flexibility, prior to, or in lieu of teaching the barbell squat and deadlift. Rehabilitation and occupational medicine professionals will have a practical tool for developing closed-kinetic chain strength, balance and total body coordination with virtually any level of patient.

Testimonials
“As soon as I saw your video of the Hexlite, it intuitively made a lot of sense to me. I work primarily with injured workers, and I like to use various squats and deadlifts in my reconditioning programs. The problem with deadlifting is, a lot of clients struggle with the weight held down in front of them (not to mention all the bad posture - tendency towards rounding the spine, protracted shoulders etc). The Hexlite will really help with lower extremity strengthening, and even help with teaching proper technique. I also like that the handles have a higher position, as you know a lot of clients can't get low enough to get "to the bar" with proper technique/flexibility.”

"As I have mentioned before, the Hexlite automatically correctly orients the body to gravity by the nature of its design. Because the handles are closer to the COG, & oriented in the sagittal plane as to place the shoulder in neutral rotation, you don't wind up trying to fit the athlete to the implement. Not that the olympic bar is a bad thing, but if you're goal is simply a power shrug it can be a time saver. I purchased one for my school out of my own pocket."
