Elephant bar

The elephant bar is a barbell developed by Rogue Fitness which is specifically used for the strongman raw deadlift.

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.

[2] Throughout the years, it became one of the most iconic and internationally recognized deadlift events in strongman history.

Rogue held its first Record Breakers event for the women's elephant barbell deadlift in 2020.
