Arch Nemesis Swiss Bar

One of the most versatile specialty barbells you can get for your gym. The Arch Nemesis Swiss Bar is our spin-off of the classic Swiss Bar and doubles as a cable attachment.

UPDATE: The sleeve diameter of the Arch Nemesis Swiss Bar has been increased to 49.7mm so that Olympic collars fit correctly. Any Arch Bars sold before Apr 6, 2024 have the old 48mm diameter and will require axle collars as a result.

“The Arch Nemesis has been a nice addition to my garage gym. Well constructed and unlocked a number of different exercises.” – Dennis T.

The Arch Nemesis Swiss Bar/attachment is essential for lifters with bad shoulders

One of the most versatile specialty barbells you can get, the Arch Nemesis is not only a shoulder saver and a bench builder, but it also doubles as a cable attachment. This welded bar has three different angled grips and a hook on the top for easy attachment onto whatever cable machine you have — or even better — pair it with the Bells of Steel Belt Squat Machine.

IMPORTANT: Please note the sleeves on the Arch Nemesis Bar are made of steel tubing instead of traditional machined barbell sleeves. They won’t rotate like a barbell sleeve but have a 49.7mm diameter, so Olympic collars will fit correctly. This means axle collars are NOT needed.
