To accommodate Olympic plates, The Burn Machine sells Olympic adapters as an accessory.

The Universal Barbell weighs 22 pounds and has extensions onto which the bar can be plate loaded with up to 200 more pounds.

The patented sliding counterweight creates an imbalance on the bar, which produces a greater gravitational pull on one side of the body. To compensate for the asymmetrical force, the abdominal and core muscles on the opposite side of your body must engage and contract. This allows you to condition your core as you strengthen each muscle group for the most efficient full-body workout.

The Burn Machine is so confident about the solid steel construction of our machines, we offer a limited lifetime warranty on all equipment. The only maintenance you may require is the occasional lubrication of the rotating grips.

The machines should be maintenance-free. However, some units may require occasional retightening of the bolts. Also, temperature changes can sometimes make the rotation of the handles feel stiff. If this happens, simply spray a “dry silicone spray” into all four grooves of the handles. ONLY DRY SILICONE SPRAY SHOULD BE USED. Over time, lubrication of the unit may result in a powdery substance appearing on the handles. Simply wipe that handles down with water and a mild cleaning solution and the powder will disappear.

No. The rotating handles are designed with a friction-bearing bushing.
