First time trying these, curve in the is 3 inchs, meaning when I lower the bar to touch my chest I have to lower it an extra 3 inches to my chest as opposed to a barbell.

1st attempt: 205 pounds
2nd attempt: 225 pounds, not on tape
3rd attempt: 245 (miss)
4th attempt: 235 pounds

  • Jared do you feel comfortable with that bar?

  • yeah I feel ok, I do not plan to use it all the time, but i am planning to train with it for the next 8-12 weeks probably replacing barbell to help strengthen the lower half of my bench press. The ROM is insane.

  • nope some peoples rotators cuffs can't handle it.

  • and i tought it was just an excuse to not fully bench =P

  • well nerd is at the end of my name :P

    mazurek is the one that gave me the idea, so props go to him really, he says he cannot go down the full 3 inches himself, and uses 1-2 inch boards so he only goes only 1-2 inches but the guy benches 500 raw and says his lower half is also his weak point like myself, so it obviously must be working regardless if he can;t go down the full extra 3 inches.

  • i have to hand it too you jared your a smart man lol.

    yeah i might try doing them on 1 to 2 inch boards and see what happens.

    the bottom of my bench needs some improvement

  • If it continues to bother you, you can try not going down all the way with the cambered bar or use 1-2 inch boards like mazurek does, even going an extra 1-2 inchs would be beneficial for helping the lower half of your lift.

  • Maybe, I wish I knew, the ROM never bugs me usually but maybe I have shorter arms then you at my short 5'7 height, i got away maxing on shoudler press, flat bench, and incline in the same day all with the cambered bar, it didn't bug me one bit.

  • my shoulders are doing alot better now, i might not be used to going that deep on them, for me i feel like benching goes deep enough,

  • I do not know where you can buy them as this was at my gym, but my friend Bretzzer happens to have one, so you can try asking him.
