01 / LESS FRAME IN YOUR WAY
Open by design.
Versatile by nature.
Sapporo pairs a Swiss bar’s neutral handles with an open-ended design. With less frame between you and the movement, you can bring that grip to more of your workout.

| Movement | Enclosed Swiss-bar frame | Sapporo open design |
|---|---|---|
| Pressing | The frame can meet the torso during the rep | Open-ended clearance around the movement |
| Rows | The frame can contact the torso or bench | More clearance for the row finish |
| Curls | The frame may limit the bottom position | Room to extend into the curl’s lower position |
| Shrugs & pulls | Clearance depends on the frame | Open frame accommodates shrugs and other pulls |
Range depends on your anatomy, bench and setup. Use a controlled range that suits you.
