"Let me come around the back side, one of my favorite things to do." Nice same here.
I know my audience!
I'm loving the new style of long form workout/conversation style videos. This is hitting jus'right. Chef's 😘
🙏
Keep up the various accessory exercises. It give me ideas as to what to add.
Will do!
Was just thinking I’ve seen the wife on the Peloton before and wondered if she put any of the other equipment to use. Cool that she hits the weights too and even the kids are asking now. Great family time in the gym. Hopefully my young sons will want to join me at some point as well.
She's a lot more dedicated than me, getting up to train at like 5:30am before she has to go to work.
Came for the bar, stayed for the rad benching.
Ain't nuttin but a peanut!
Definitely need that razor Ramon theme song
HEY YO
I’ve been doing Pendlay rows the last few weeks but I had to lean against the nearest weight tree between sets thanks to the post Thanksgiving mini bulk…
Bigger belly just means shorter ROM to load up the weights!
I have a Kabuki strength Duffalo bar, I had put some coban tape on it because it was so sharp!
I did love my Duffalo but sold it since I also have the Rogue CB-4. Too many toys!
Awesome video. 2 in a row. Selling barbells to buy more barbells. Nice. The circle of life.
Slowly improving the collection!
Pendular rows have made their way into a few videos I’ve watched recently. Might be time to run them soon.
Always a classic!
Interesting product, but customer service is an absolute must for products that you rarely get to demo before buying. I still remember when the owner of Strongarm basically got into a shouting match with a customer over issues with another product
Yes def one of the risks of going with a small company like this that imports.
What a gorgeous gym. That's a nice bar! I see a 405 bench in your future!
Wouldn't be mad at that, but long ways off!
Nice video. Hope you're feeling better.
Thanks dude!
Got myself a bare steel 20kg bar from Strong Arm about 3 years ago. Has nice aggressive knurl, feels like an Elieko. Came well packaged and oiled. Bar is still going strong. And at the time it was only $199
Nice get! They do have some good bars, but there is def inconsistency in my experience.
I used to do straight bar overhead press and I would get either shoulder or lower back pain. I now use an open trap bar and I have little issues. Thanks for what you do.
Interesting point, maybe I'll give that a go.
You should try with DB OHP.
I haven’t barbell shoulder pressed in a little while, might start again, see if I can finally push bw
I don't think I could at this point lol
Just got my Texas power barbell. Best decision I ever made
Nice!
Thoughts as I watched your review “there’s a man that knows how to clean oil from a shaft”
Just a lil dab will do ya!
Where do you get most of your shorts from? They look like the HVIII/NotDeadYet but can't really tell for sure.
The past few months I've been training in ten thousand co shorts. Out of their line up my favorites are the 7" inseam tactical shorts w/liner. TBH they're super expensive, even if you do their 2 short bundle they're like $60 a pair. But they have a lifetime warranty and they're great shorts.
@@BasementBrandon thank you, yea I've looked at them I just can't justify paying that much for shorts, at least right now. I barely got into the HVIII/Notdeadyet line because they were on sale for $35.
@@jeremy242 I feel ya here!
What bench is that!?!?
Sorienex Competition Bench
Definitely interested in this barbell
I bet you are
It's a cool bar, but prob not a daily driver!
brandon… whats the absolute sharpest knurl in the market period? opinion on the aggressive bar from elitefts?
The sharpest I've used is the Rogue Aggro 3x.
@@BasementBrandonthank you
@@user-cm9ef4fw7m Such a kind response from an aggressive username lol.
That’s a cool bar.
Def. Prob more of a novelty than a daily driver.
Lots of great joke material today.
Sweet bar. I need one.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch
@@BasementBrandon another joke option 😀
I think he meant Bells of Steel Bare Naked power / bare steel equipment is the iron skull power bar
You're right!
Thanks for the strongarm product review, i feel like people dont know about them as much.
They have some hidden gems
Damn.... This is why u don't create a retail product
😂
Well this is a nice surprise...two videos in a week.
Trying to get back in the swing of things and these are actually a lot easier to film despite their longer length since I'm already training and put no effort into editing 😅
@@BasementBrandon I definitely appreciate the content though. And as for the vlog itself I think this is by far your best because I get a glimpse of what you're thinking/feeling with each lift. I know it's a lot of work but it is appreciated thank you.
"Why do you buy things you never use?" - People who just don't understand
😂 I've tried to be better and only buy things I think I'll use, but sometimes it takes owning them to realize they don't fit as well as I imagined.
People tell me I have gym equipment issues. I really need to show them some of yours or Coop's stuff.
😅
Campbell Fitness vibes
😂
I understood that reference!
I believe if you worked out with a partner your bench would be a lot higher. I too lift alone and prefer it, I can't stand to have to meet someone else's schedule.
That being said you have got to increase your bench, with all the muscle on you and the years of lifting, you should leave 405 in the dust, I'm thinking at least 450 by now.
It has been proven without a doubt the best program to increase one's bench is Westside's Conjugate Method. Louie proved it multiple times but it's hard to do without partners, however it can be done by yourself.
My question to you is Why don't you utilize Westside's program? You compete so your Total is important
Progressive overload and Periodization are good but only to a certain level. Westside's Conjugate Method is gonna take you to the Promised Land!!!!!
Just a fan who is pulling for you to get your Total into the stratosphere
Take Care
I think for my size (6'3" and 225lbs) a 405lbs bench is still and extremely high number 😅
@@BasementBrandon
Really, for a powerlifter that's been training for 10 years+
Okay, you missed the question altogether
It was why mess around with cookie cutter programs designed specifically to sell to the masses. They are made so the writer will get rich so they are tract lined to attract all people.
Westside conjugate is made to get strong, Period
A junior high kid could've written juggernaut it is so basic,
I tried to help not anger you but looks like I failed.
This is the problem with social media, cannot have an intelligent conversation without one side getting angry, context is so misplaced on a text or on a computer
Good Luck anyway
Gonna need on juggernaut
Sorry if you misread my response, I'm not mad at all. I always appreciate insight/suggestions from people who watch my content. I don't think you can equate training years with expected numbers. There are plenty of people who have trained longer and are of multiple shapes/sizes/backgrounds that still may not bench 405. I've dabbled in a lot of training methodologies over the years, including conjugate, and I can assure you Juggernaut is not a cookie cutter program. You may find some of the basics the same as other programs and that's more just due to the fact that they utilize the same documented fundamentals. My training for the main compounds vastly differ than a lot of the other people who are running juggernaut. In fact a lot of the top work and day to day stuff could be very similar to some of the max effort work prescribed in Conjugate style training. All strength programs should be made to get strong, the difficult process if finding the one that works best for you.
@@BasementBrandon
I am not angry at all and I was glad you said you are not. I'm sorry if I overstepped, it's just that I enjoy your channel and I pull for you in your competitions and I just think Westsides system would get your Total even higher although your Total is very, very impressive. I see you using a reader to measure your velocity of the bar and that is great and got me thinking if Brandon knows he needs to speed up velocity of the bar to overcome sticking points then he's mirroring Westside so why not train full Westside as it's the best system to increase strength. Accommodating resistance and fighting overspeed eccentrics, along with accessory work are the key to increasing the size and number of muscle fibers. It's not bodybuilding, it's not for increasing the size of your sacromere or increase hypertrophy, well not much, but for strength it is the king.
You are a cool guy and you deserve to be using the best so I just wanted to tell you the best system for strength is Westside,
I know you did not know that Westside is the best way to train because you don't use it.
This is not my opinion, it is a fact
Take Care
Only reason I wanted to put you onto Westside'd way is because you always talk about how bad your bench is, I thought it would not hurt your feelings when I sent my text but I see I did hurt your feelings, you got very defensive and I can only imagine what you called me.
This is why most people dont leave comments and I shouldn't have.
This is why social media, texting, all of it sucks.
@@bobbyhunt3009 Not offended at all. After over a decade of uploading videos you get a pretty thick skin. I've played with speed work in the past as well, both in programs I've written and as part of Brandon Lily's Cube method (who trained at WS).
I think if people get their overhead press up their bench press will go up and I think if you learn the way starting strength uses it it’s pretty interesting the way that teach it
Ugh the way they teach it hurts my back just watching 😆
Like #100
My man Tim!
Holy shingles I'm first!

Hey Brandon, I have a question (not relating to this video) regarding a new barbell I just received from American Barbell. For some reason they forgot to insert the sticker that goes into the end piece on both sides. They stated I could return it and they would send me a new one, however I basically destroyed the tube it came in as I do not have your expertise in opening Barbell boxes/tubing. LOL. Anyway's, I did not want to send it back as it's too difficult to pack up and ship, they did send me new stickers to put into the end pieces. I do not have experience inserting stickers into barbells, I do have experience sticking other things into things but that is another topic for another day! LOl. Did you happen to make a video of putting those stickers in the end of the barbell? Or any advice on how to do it? I do have needle nose pliers but I really don't want to go in blindly and end up wrecking my new barbell. I may need my wife to help if its something that takes fine coordination as that is not my strength unfortunately. Anyway's, thanks for your time, much appreciated. Nice video BTW.
It somewhat depends on the type of bar you got from them. If it has a snap ring it's really easy. You could use needle nose pliers but snap ring pliers work much better. It's just a matter of getting the snap ring out, then tilting the bar so the metal cap falls out, place sticker on, reinsert cap, reinsert snap ring. You can kind of get an idea of it here: ruclips.net/video/bwdAYdIrkqk/видео.html or you can likely find other videos that go more in depth.
So that's two days in a row of us lifting together...time to show off the shrine
Just waiting to finish it. Still need some hair follicles.
Nice bar but I think they skimped on the end caps 😀
Luckily we can make our own these days 😅
Well I'm going to have a credit card charge to explain 😅
I take all blame always
I tried looking. Did you ever do a full fledged review of that barbell? I’m thinking of buying it.
I haven't. I need to. It's a nice bar. I think the TSS bar is a bit better for every day training and is a little cheaper though.
@@BasementBrandon Unless you live in Canada. A $350 Texas bar is over $700 up here. I even happen to live in Calgary as well, so I can go pick up the bar. No shipping. Comparing it to the Texas barbells is really helpful for me as my gym has a few of them. I was drawn to the Razor because it’s stainless, I wanted a worthy powerlifting bar, and the aggressive knurling. But, you have a lot more experience with various barbells than I so that fact you even mentioned (or know of) this bar is really helpful to me personally. By your reply, I take it that you find it to be a solid bar, not the best you’ve ever used but it is nothing to overlook either.
@@wildthrows Sorry, just to be clear I'm talking Texas Strength Systems and not Texas Power Bars. The TSS one is also stainless, similar tolerances but slightly less sharp knurling (but still really aggressive). Knowing you're in Canada that does change things some. I know Mike is running a sale on all bars right now so might be a great time to get a strongarm bar. It's a really good bar IMO, the issue is more StrongArm QC can be a bit hit or miss and if buying in the US, they're not as big of a cost savings as some more consistent brands.
@@BasementBrandon Got you. Thanks for the clarification. If I’m able to see the bar before purchasing, I can eliminate QC issues. I really appreciate your replies and input. Thank you.
@@wildthrows I filmed some clips with the bar yesterday. Going to try to do a video today if I find the time.
This sparks my curiosity, can’t you just use a regular barbell for bench and deadlifts? What is the benefit of using a specialized deadlift bar?
In the case of a deadlift bar, it is usually thinner, longer, and has more aggressive knurl. This leads to better grip and more bend in the bar under heavy load. This typically allows a better starting position, shorter ROM, and more weight to be added.
Yeah, I'd go for the Chewy bar if I'm to spend that much money. Thanks for the review!
Sure thing!
Yeah, I don’t like that there is no overhead press. I do it as dumbbell military press.
I do see that as an option but prefer a barbell
Sounds like your prime stack needs lubricating
It is just what it sounds like. The metal shield and being so close to concrete walls doesn't do it any favors.
These bar definitely (99%) come from RUSER, they also have on shop a plate load that looks identical. I have from this factory (Nantong Lixing Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd) Squat bar and DLB (IMBA) - both made of stainless steel. Unfortunately, it has very poor knurling quality (chipped, cracked tops), a lack of selection is visible. As far as I know, all of their barbells have this problem. My squat bar also had a problem with the sleeve, but I fixed it, although it's still not perfect. Design flaw - they removed a small ring that is necessary for smooth rotation. They don't really know what they are doing, it's far from Samtek or EAKO.
I don't doubt a lot of these come from the same manufacturing plant, but I'd say the knurl on this is actually nicer than some of the other inconsistent imports I've seen. We'll see how it holds up!
The problem is not even the aesthetics themselves, but how do these cracks are created? I have seen bad raster starts, even depths, mowings but never a fragment cracked. This is the first barbell that has this defect. These flaws can be noticed even in the photos they share (on his webside and auction). I regret that I didn't notice this in the auctions. I wouldn't buy it... In your video also exist few points in close-up. If it's a faulty knurlling roll or the result of straightening the barbell with a hydraulic piston after production - can get over it. But if rod is knurling first and then harden it and that's where the losses come from, it's a big problem. The wrong sequence of the process causes the top layer to peel off. This is the beginning of micro-cracks. The barbell will be weakened and may break completely.
Funny, I randomly came across this bar and bought it on a whim two weeks ago for $316 delivered to LA. Figured not much to lose for an all stainless bar for $316 and I wanted to see if the thin collars would be a problem since I’m looking at getting an eleiko bar. The bar is set to arrive tomorrow. This is the only review I’ve seen of it, written, video, or otherwise. Good to see it’s decent.
For that price it's a really good value IMO. Let me know what you think when yours comes in.
@@BasementBrandontried it yesterday, steep incline bench 60 degrees, 3 sets of 4 at 205. Only plan on using this bar for bench. Really good knurling for me. Felt like a sharper version of the Kabuki Nickel bar that I received last week. This might edge out the Kabuki for the best knurling and both are probably slightly better than the Griffin original stainless that was my favorite for two years. I don’t like overly aggressive knurling. The Ohio Power Bar is my least favorite because it’s not comfortable to hold even though it doesn’t really cause me problems. This bar didn’t cause any problems though.
I like that the sleeves don’t spin much, sleeve spin is one of the things I hate the most when benching. I actually liked the Chewy bar for the knurling but it spin in my hand a few times so I haven’t used it since but maybe I was just unstable. The first barbell I bought was the Ohio Bar but I stopped using it because it spun too much and I was worried about hurting my wrists.
The only thing I wish was slightly different would be the collars being slightly thicker, even around the size of Kabuki’s which are already thin, would be fine. They didn’t bother me during the lift like I thought they would though.
Overall it’s an amazing bar at $316 delivered and definitely still worth it for $515 unless you have a sloppy walkout for squat or are very unstable with a wide rack for bench then the thin collars might be a problem.
You have a great Job, my friend! Love IT!
Thanks for taking a look!
