The Gungnir Allrounder is an ordinary Olympic Barbell with an extraordinary way for keeping the plates on the bar...built in collars.
I've been using the Allrounder for about a month now and I've been surprised just how useful the built-in collars, known as Slidelocks are. They're very expensive bars, but as you'll see in the video, this bar can take a beating.

@BrandonSchwartz1 4 жыл бұрын

I agree. I don’t know the exact width of that locking piece, but this could potentially let you get another 10lb plate on each side since it looks thinner than a regular collar plus it could save some time when swapping weights.

So many people complaining but i honestly love this idea and would love a barbell like this even with its terrible price tag. And those who say its better to buy collars well the best collars cost 40 or more with heavy priced shipping less you spend alot of money and the cheaper collars get broke too often by numbnuts who love throwing them or slamming weights on them. I will iterate I believe this is built more for crossfitters, olympic lifters, or athletes who do multiple compound lifts not so much for bodybuilders, regular gym goers, or powerlifters so I would look at perspective about it.

They need to come up with a collar that sits at the end of a sleeve. So we can max out a sleeve with actual plates. That would be revolutionary. It's like 5 bumpers and a collar.

My idea would be a T plate that screws into the end cap, with ball bearing in the end of the screw to stabilise, then a small remote control to release the ball bearing to unscrew and additional headless bolt to put in as to not compromise bar strength

I'll need to get a brush to brush out bits of the j cup plastic that have rubbed off into the knurl, but that's all I plan so far. Sorry, that's probably not that useful. One thing with mentioning with regard to maintaining your plates if they're polyurethane: because the collar is "ribbed" there's a bit of catching if you load a change plate on with the serrations up. But, easy fix, just twist it so serrations are down as you load them.
