VTS Mini Barbell

The barbell that wasn’t supposed to exist… until everyone wouldn’t stop asking for it. Built to sit perfectly in the VTS / VTS Lite barbell clamp so you can run balanced, centered loading for the High/Low Pulley, the new Direct Flight (Multi-Flight), and a whole lot of “wait… it does that too?”

Clamp-Centered
Designed for stable tracking inside the VTS jaws.
Plate-Load Ready
Balanced load left + right for clean cable pulls.
Not a Toy
The “Goldilocks” bar: longer than a dumbbell handle, shorter than a barbell.
Translation: it solves a real geometry problem… and accidentally became everyone’s favorite little load source.

Now sold standalone — no need to buy a High/Low Pulley just to get the Mini Barbell.

Why This Even Exists

The VTS Clamp Is Wider (On Purpose)

The VTS barbell clamp (jaws) had to be wider than a normal bar handle to create enough surface area for the bar to track straight and level on the VTS. More surface area = less wobble, less tilt, better tracking.

So Why Not Dumbbells?

Traditional dumbbell handles are simply too narrow for the VTS jaws. The clamp needs more “bite” to keep everything stable under load — especially when you’re pulling from cables or balancing weight side-to-side.

And a Full Barbell?

A full-length barbell is… a lot. Too long, awkward, and unnecessary for centered loading. We needed something compact that still sits correctly in the clamp.

Enter: The Goldilocks Bar

We built a custom mini barbell that’s shorter than a barbell, but longer than a dumbbell handle, so you can load plates evenly and keep the pull clean.

No compromises to the VTS clamp design. We built the right tool for the system.

What It Works With

It started as a balanced-load solution for the High/Low Pulley. Then we showed it in the wild with other attachments. Now it’s basically the “little adapter that could.”

High/Low Pulley

Load plates evenly on both sides to keep the front clamp balanced and tracking clean.

Direct Flight (Multi-Flight)

The Direct Flight uses the Mini Barbell + VTS / VTS Lite as a plate-loaded load source. Translation: cable work gets a serious upgrade without a selectorized stack.

Multi-Strap

Pair it with the Multi-Strap and turn the VTS clamp into a centered plate-loaded anchor for a ton of movements.

Cable Attachments (and creative people)

Clip in handles, ropes, bars, specialty attachments — if it pulls, it plays.

The Mini Barbell makes the VTS clamp a centered, plate-loaded hub — not just a barbell holder.

FAQ

Do I need the High/Low Pulley to buy this?

Nope. We’re now selling it standalone because people kept asking for it (politely… and not-so-politely).

Why not just use dumbbells?

The VTS clamp is wider by design for tracking stability. Traditional dumbbell handles don’t give enough surface area for a secure, level clamp.

What systems does it work with?

It’s designed for the VTS ecosystem — and it’s especially useful with the High/Low Pulley, Direct Flight (Multi-Flight), Multi-Strap, and cable attachments.

Is it basically a “tiny barbell”?

Yes — but with very specific geometry so it sits correctly in the VTS clamp and keeps load centered. It’s not cute. It’s calculated.

Bottom Line

We didn’t make this because we wanted another SKU.
We made it because the VTS clamp demanded a better solution — and then you all turned it into a must-have.
