Elephant bar
The elephant bar is a barbell developed by Rogue Fitness which is specifically used for the strongman raw deadlift.[1] It was first created in 2016 by Terry Todd, the director of the Arnold Strongman Classic. The bar is known for being 10 ft (3.05 m) long[2] and made from 200,000 psi tensile strength stainless steel,[3] making it bend more than a power bar, and whip both up and down as well as forwards and backwards, while the deadlift is being performed.[4] Elephant bar deadliftSince its inception in 2016 Arnold Strongman Classic, the elephant bar deadlift has been featured 9 times at the Arnold Strongman Classic and the Rogue Invitational. The event uses specially designed Arnold Schwarzenegger inscribed 2-inch thick deep dish stainless steel weight plates which allow the bar height to remain at the standard 9 inches off the floor. The rules state that no deadlift suits are allowed hence the lift should be performed raw.[note 1] The event also allows only standard weightlifting straps and prohibits the use of figure of 8 straps.[2] Throughout the years, it became one of the most iconic and internationally recognized deadlift events in strongman history.[4][5] World record
