For something that can handle some good weight and isn't too terribly priced ($220), plus to make your training more intense while getting you a grip that would make a vise jealous, you could try their Apollon's Axle. It's 2 inches thick around.
Thanks, BigAl! That Apollon's Axle might be just about right. It'll probably play Mabel with my forearms on deadlifts too.

Depends, BlazinDave. I've had both knees cut, so I'll only bottom out on the lighter weights. (Not having a lifting partner doesn't help either...)

Osu!
