Competition barbells, calibrated plates and racks for serious garages and boxes. Steel throughout, a rated load on every bar and rack, and finishes chosen to cope with chalk and heavy use.

Apex Forge is the pro tier of the Strength department. The range covers the 20 kg (44 lb) and 15 kg (33 lb) olympic bars, the hex trap bar, bumper and calibrated steel plates, loadable dumbbell handles, competition kettlebells and a kettlebell rack, squat stands, the half rack and the Power Rack Pro.

Every Apex Forge bar and rack lists a rated load, and the calibrated plates are made to close weight tolerances so a 25 kg (55 lb) plate weighs what it says. Steel is thick, welds are left visible and almost everything is black. Expect gear priced for people who lift several times a week and plan to keep doing it for years.
