Sybersnott Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 If I wanted to practice for the Apollon Axle lift, will a 2 inch thick bar suffice? Or does it ned to be thicker than that? What was the true diameter of the actual handle of the original Apollon's Axle? (Help, Roark!). Also did the one that Mark Henry lifted approximate the original?? ???

Roark Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 The original Apollon railcar wheel axle was 1.93" in diameter. (Ignore Venables' assertion that it was nearly 3"). Circ was 6.06" The replica set that Henry lifted just under 6.25" in diameter, or just under 2", so yes, a 2" bar would be fine. But keep in mind that it was non-revolving!
