Samtola - Indian Wooden Barbell

The Samtola is a traditional Indian barbell designed for dynamic, cross-body movements that build functional strength, balance, and endurance. Unlike modern gym equipment, the samtola engages multiple muscle groups at once, making it ideal for holistic fitness training. Rooted in the centuries-old training of Indian wrestlers (Pehlwans), it’s a powerful tool for athletes, martial artists, and anyone seeking authentic, functional workouts

Usage Recommendations 

Beginners: Start with a lighter samtola for learning form and basic cross-body swings.
Regular Gym-Goers : Use for rotational movements to improve strength, stability, and endurance.
Pro Athletes/Wrestlers:Train with heavier samtolas for explosive power, grip strength, and functional conditioning.

Perform dynamic swings, rotations, and overhead movements – not linear curls
