@chizzy555 From your statement alone it seems you know very little about strength training. However, to be charitable, I will explain the pros and cons of the cambered bar. Pros: Increased range of Motion helps build alot of power of the Chest. It also increases flexibility. Cons: If not careful, it can be tough on the shoulders. Some cambered bars have too great of a depression so a 2x4 or 2x6 can be placed to reduce the range but still allow more than a standard bar.
@chizzy555 Look at Mike Macdonad. He had one of the greatest raw bench presses in history. He benched 576.0 lbs. weighing 220 lbs. He also benched 603 at 242 lbs. He relied HEAVILY on the cambered bar (hence the common name of Macdonald bar). He didn't just use it but rotated it in often.
lol that bar is retarded and pointless, workout equipment should only be designed from reasoning not random retardation.
