Awesome overview! I haven’t seen any videos about the Heavy Duty Curl Bar either. So if you all could do an overview of it, that would be great be much appreciated as well! Keep up the great work

Thanks for the consistent content! I like your approach lifting. I especially liked a video you made when you were talking about bulking and actually committing to increasing calories and tracking it and really pushing to new bodyweight. I maingained for 7 years probably right around the 185-190 bw mark. And recently did an intentional bulk and broke past the 200 mark. Bulking is the way! (I realize this video is a product review) but I figured that if I commented on a super old video it might get missed. Also comments on current videos usually help the metrics more. Anyways keep up the epic content!

Holy Jesus H. Christ in a taxicab, is that the box it comes in?! That's bigger than the box my squat rack came in! Okay, bigger by only a little bit, but still...

I'm a Marrs bar convert, I've had one for a year and half and haven't squatted with a straight bar since. Squat went from 305 to 415. So my groove is a little different, I'm not entering a powerlifting meet so who cares.

Yeah, not sure why even powdercoat the main bar... it always gets scratched off. Definitely a function over form product.

i use this bar for a 70 year old man who cant get his hands on the straight bar. great bar, its a shame its so expensive, the 35 pound bar feels cheap frl

$549 for a bar with the sleeves held in place with set screws (bad idea) and then you still want to "pass it on" to me to pay the shipping. Even $100 SSBs on Amazon have free shipping despite weighing more. "Buying twice" would be a cheaper alternative. Cheap-o bars are not _that_ fragile, and even if they were, you could buy 5 for the price of 1 of these. Nobody will ever need 5 unless they're breaking equipment on purpose

ssb are a high bar position, marrs bar is a lowbar position. i agree its way overpriced, but its the only low bar style "ssb"

@justinbuchanan2346 2 ай бұрын

Ok but why is there no 45 lb marrs bar. Marrs bar math is the worst math.

@chasejohnson1122 2 ай бұрын

glue 5 pound weights on if its that annoying. the bar is hollow, you could fill it with shot or anything to bring it up to 5 pounds

SSB bar is better I don't see any reason to use this type of bar for low bar squats bars like this are to target quads in a narrow stance

@humanspecieseradicationmedia 2 ай бұрын

Changing bar and foot position is not gonna automatically make a squat "target the quads". There's too many factors involved, especially individual biomechanical variation

@chasejohnson1122 2 ай бұрын

you are wrong and dumb. ssb is a high bar position, marrs bar is a low bar squat position. quads get worked more from high bar.

@JT76 2 ай бұрын

That's exactly backwards actually. With the bar lower on your back it sits right over your hips and loads your glutes like crazy when you squat. I have one, glutes light up every time.
