“It doesn’t matter how heavy the weight is when you have a goal — you just do it.”
That’s not just a saying; it’s a mindset every Strongman athlete lives by.
When Bobo stepped up to the axle bar, it wasn’t about numbers anymore — it was about willpower. Every rep demanded focus, precision, and the refusal to quit. This is what true strength looks like: not perfection, but persistence under pressure.
The Challenge of the Axle Bar
Unlike a standard barbell, the Strongman Axle Bar offers zero rotation and a thicker grip, forcing your forearms, wrists, and stabilizers to work harder than ever. Every press becomes a test of grip integrity, upper-body coordination, and mental fortitude.
To match the intensity of this challenge, athletes pair the bar with the Strongman Monster Axle Wheels (80kg/pair) — durable, competition-grade wheels that transform
 any axle setup into a true test of power.
Together, they replicate the feel and scale of professional Strongman events — just like the one you see in the video.
Train Smart: Protect Your Wrists
Heavy presses demand not just strength, but support.
Even though Bobo didn’t wear wraps in this lift, using proper wrist support is critical for injury prevention and power transfer during any overhead press movement.
That’s why we built the LIFT ON Strongman Semi-Stiff Wrist Wraps – Durable Support for Heavy Lifting & Strongman Training — designed specifically for Strongman athletes. They provide stability without limiting movement, allowing you to push heavy loads safely and confidently.
If you’re training to press like a Strongman, these wraps should be part of your essential setup.
Train Like You Mean It
Strength isn’t only measured in kilograms — it’s measured in grit, discipline, and how you show up when the weight feels impossible.
Watch Bobo’s lift, feel that drive, and take it into your next session.
