I train conjugate so I love to rotate through all bars possible, but Elitefts's SSB is a staple in training. Saves my shoulders and elbows from getting too beat up compared to squatting with a straight bar.
I'm a bit of a bar junkie myself.. but for my specialty bars my Titan SSB always use it to front squat and use it for back squat 30% of the time, my ivanko curl bar it's pretty thick and aggressive, and my trap bar.. I actually have an axle, bamboo, and a cambered swiss bar which were featured here which I need to use each more of
That camber bar is a staple for me. I bench 3x week usually and 2 slots are that bar. It was a staple when I was fighting a shoulder impingement. It's great for rows as well. The other 2 bars are a good power bar and SSB bar.
More barbells is a great addition for a home gym, it doesn't take up much space but adds a lot of variation. Much easier and space efficient than machines.
Good stuff! I really want an SSB bar, Olympic squat bar, and my own multi grip. That cambered bar looks out of this world! Love how many grip positions there are, too!
Coach J, how would you plan training in a year if you wanted to compete in one Weightlifting, one Strongman, and one Powerlifting meet. Is it even possible? You and Thrall are maybe the only ones diverse enough and possibly imaginative enough that I can ask. I know the river flows through powerlifting towards the other two sports. Like could I do tire flips instead of reg back squats to strengthen my clean squat? Car deadlifts as alternative to regs? Could I do log as accessory to bench? I mean strongmen do cleans and powerlifts all the time anyways.
@@knightveg You could always get rid of the bed, put in a rack and sleep on a crash pad... or do something more sane like drool over the bars online (I wish I had the space and the money for all the specialty bars)

I was about to comment on your last video there that it looks like a dojo from an old Kung Fu movie but instead of swords and weapons its all just bars. Such a cool gym, been some great cross-over content.
Where can I find an axle bar with centre knurl and rings? Only knurled axles I know of just have knurling on the ends with no rings for landmarking hand placement…
Doin’ my happy dance bc I have all 3 in my home gym! Funny enough, those 3 bars get the most love out of my current barbell collection. The only other bar that would come close to making the cut is my SSB bar.
That bar is a life saver for me. It allowed me to bench while rehabbing a should injury. Plus simulating a board press is cool and it's great for rows.
Titan fitness sells their own models of these bars for half the price and free shipping on all orders. They may be slightly less quality, but all the bars function the same and are perfect for a home gym
I have the Titan SSB, multigrip, And Buffalo bar and they are all fine. The Buffalo bar has some trouble on the j-cups but otherwise they are all fine for home/garage gyms! Obviously if you have the bills or it’s gunna get a ton of use it’s better to buy once and cry once IMO.
@@SzatStrength definitely agree, i doubt I'll ever wear the bars I have down by myself lmao. But is the cambered multi grip bar and the buffalo bar worth it to add to my training?
Benching with a bamboo bar is the equivalent of squatting on a bosu ball. The instability that comes with squatting on a bosu ball or benching with a bamboo bar will limit the load to such an extent that the stress will not be enough to cause an adaptation i.e. strength/hypertrophy. Companies use “stability training” as a way to fool the unsuspecting lifter into shelling out $300 for a bamboo stick. If you get any bench gains from using it, most likely you were doing too much bench volume before and the decrease in load allowed for better fatigue management. I want all the smoke
I disagree and here is why. The challenge of a bamboo bar is it forces you to create more stability within your normal set up. A bosu ball creates a challenge by making a normal set up impossible because you're on a unstable surface (i.e. it is "balance training"). The chaos training is way more specific and the loads aren't that low. If you've used a bamboo bar or chaos training before they feel completely different than "balance training". A more apt comparison is chaos bench feels like chaos squats, and squatting on a bosu ball feels like benching on a stability ball (or bosu but I've never seen that attempted). If you put any faith in EMG comparisons bamboo bar bench had the same activity in the main movers but also had near maximal rotator cuff EMG activity.
Several years and about $40,000 later I still find myself regularly perusing the internet looking over equipment and I still look at 90% of the stuff like "I need that, I need that, I need like 3 of those..." 😂

What’s your top 3 favorite barbells!?
Standard power bar, multi-grip, and SSB.
Well it was just my rouge Ohio bar but now I need to try more

SSB, Swiss bar and something basic like the ez-curl bar.
"If you stop shaking it, it'll stop shaking"
"anyone ever done that?"
"not really"
I love this guy
Yoke walks and walking lunges with the bamboo bar are really fun too
This is my jam
That's what she said

Awesome bar
That bamboo bar is something else. I'd like to give that a try.
Feels like an earthquake in your hands
Hanging weights from an empty barbell will accomplish the same thing, but just less effective since the Bamboo Bar is 7 lb.
@@getpumped87 Ill have to give that a try. Thanks
I was on the fence between buying a multi angle bar or the camber bar. Thank you for tipping the scale!
Kabuki Strength Bar also very nice
@@TheLazyPinecone for a down payment on a car lol. Trying to keep it under 300
*me fixating on joey's delts n arms instead of listening to what he's actually saying*
❤️❤️❤️
Yeah. It's the only thing that appears 3D on my 2D screen. Completely mesmerizing.
More barbells is a great addition for a home gym, it doesn't take up much space but adds a lot of variation. Much easier and space efficient than machines.
Absolutely
Awesome choice on bars. I would have included the Safety Squat bar (for 4 bars). Also great timing with the thunderstorm...that was awesome!
6:06 you can actually see Szat having flashbacks
Hahahah
I have big hands and long fingers so I can't actually fully grip the bar when I press so I feel like using an axle might be better for me but idk.
Try it out!!!
Good stuff! I really want an SSB bar, Olympic squat bar, and my own multi grip. That cambered bar looks out of this world! Love how many grip positions there are, too!
I got the multi grip swiss bar from Rogue and love it. No more shoulder pain and it kills the triceps.

Good stuff man. I'm not sure if you've used Reps cambered bar before or not, but Im curious how it compares to elite FTS's. Thanks!
Joey looking jacked and stacked 💪
impressive stability on the bamboo bar
I just ordered the cambered bar. I also have their power bar and American press bar
Trap and camber are the only bars I have besides a barbell. Trap and Camber are fantastic.....
Thanks for sharing very informative
Shame I will never be able to use a specialist bar because the gym I use in Britain don't have them
Buy your own collection :)

Trap bar, Swiss bar (love the camber bar) Earthquake bar.
Love trap bar
I love lamp
Hope the bicep is feeling good! Kickin ass buddy!
Healing great! Thank you!
Special bar...hehehehe ,nice videous agen strong monster dude!!
The only barbell I need… is the one that gets me a beer when I ring it… ( laughing track and band plays)
Who makes the axle bar with the knurling and marks . I want to purchase asap. Thanks
Your gym is amazing, play ground for grown ups. Backlist to visit 👏
This is not my gym! But mine is similar
Why is the vein on szats right arm horizontal?
6:06 "Loving the curls" Too soon
Toooo soooo
What model is the axel bar? The EliteFTS doesn’t seem to have center knurling.
Love that bamboo bar, but now I just want to see someone take a bite of the end
Hahah 🐼
I just bought the AGC bar yesterday. Patiently waiting...
It’s amaze balls
Where can I find an axle bar with centre knurl and rings? Only knurled axles I know of just have knurling on the ends with no rings for landmarking hand placement…
Bought their SSB bar a few years ago. It's fantastic, the shipping was pretty horrid though.
Best ssb on the market
That's cuz they use fed ex lol
I need one
Where did that fat bar come from? The knurling looked good but I didn’t see it on elitefts or online anywhere.
Since RUclips nazis delete my posts regularly it might be the Elite FTS Gordo Bar.
Doin’ my happy dance bc I have all 3 in my home gym! Funny enough, those 3 bars get the most love out of my current barbell collection. The only other bar that would come close to making the cut is my SSB bar.
SSB is a must
Rain asmr
Hi. Can a cambered bar be used to do incline presses?
Yes
@@scodyt3996 Thanks!
Szat reporting live on scene to give us those weather updates...it's raining bars out here...
Wish my gym had that second bar.
That bar is a life saver for me. It allowed me to bench while rehabbing a should injury. Plus simulating a board press is cool and it's great for rows.
Top 3 bars gotta be multi grip bar, safety squat bar and a standard barbell
Yessssss
Oh how I've wanted a knurled axle bar for so long.........where to find one
Elitefts lol
Where can I buy a axel bar with knurling?
No love for the hex bar? Sad times 😔
I’ve made videos on it in the past! One of my favorite bars
That’s a sweet bar …
Would you credit your shoulder definition/size to the way that you train, or genetics?
I’ve hit shoulders a lot this past year to bring them up aesthetically
This was a good video
Thanks for watching
I wonder how someone like myself could utilize an axle barbell for deadlifting or bench pressing with small hands
Get healed up Coach and get them canons loaded back up again.
Soon 😈😈😈
Just bought 2 multigrip bars for my gym
Awesome!!
Yup 🤘🤙

I personally won’t ever use one for any sort of benching gains but fun to try nonetheless! Thanks for the input.
Couldn't you just hang the weights? Maybe on resistance bands? Then you don't have to worry about snapping your bar? Lol

Here before I've watched but if the SSB isn't on the list I'll be sad.
Edit: I'm sad
Hahaha it’s still one of my faves
nah mate never promote "suicide grip" ever, even with axle bar..
the trainer looks like the singer of dying fetus.Its a compliment
Sam says "utilize" way too much and it gets on my nerves.
Unless they use those bars in competition, they are worthless.
