@wrassling Thanks, I have worked pretty hard to put it all together.

thats a good idea using that bar. does it make it easier to hold it at lockout?

[MichaelPost2009]

@mattzilla331 Not at all. If you have ever benched or squatted with a cambered bar you will see that it is far less stable than a straight bar. This is much harder than using a straight bar. If a straight bar would clear my ceiling I would happily use one.
