Tie it loose car bumper and drive! Play on words the "bumper test" ... It'd be a great way to get more views but would you be willing to sacrifice your bar possibly a back window for a TH-cam video? Sophie's choice. Maybe start off with that "silver" bar that weighs like 40ish pounds...
If you're that desperate for video ideas Coop hasn't done already... A while ago the $2200 Run Rocket got a lot of press, Brian Shaw was using one, I'm pretty sure that Coop covered it, but a cursory search didn't turn up a video about it from him. At $250 the Exer-Genie seems to offer the exact same functionality, with a theoretically unlimited rope length, for a 10th the cost, and significantly less floor space used. If you buy used on eBay, because it's been out since the 60's, it's a 100th the price of the run rocket. And these things were used in space during the space race since their weight to resistence ratio is pretty damn high. IIRC you're a ~~failed~~ retired college runner, so you might even be familiar with them.
@@stuartdoesstrongman7518 yeah you've got a way with words... I'm sure Pillar4Media and Coop have come up with some good stuff in the past but I don't really watch a lot of it. Happy to see you kept up with my division 1 college track career.
Cost of bumper plates $100, cost of really cool barbell you hide price of from wife $600. Cost of dropping that said bar and plates off of deadly mountain of loose rocks and not dying on camera, priceless. Great vid.
This bar looks amazing but I showed it to my GF and she saw the price and thought I was nuts. So I’m gonna wear her down over time but appreciate the honest review and letting us know it was given to you for free and you beating the hell out of it and dropping it off the Rocky Mountain 😂
I just watched an entire video about a bar I can’t afford. Congrats on another solid video. I don’t live up north anymore because my Texas born wife refuses to live anywhere with actual winters but I always thought that neighbors not wanting to visit was a huge plus. My wife has lots of unkind things to say about “unfriendly” northerners but that is a feature, not a bug.
You may have just proven that despite all the time we spend in our beautiful gyms that we have carefully constructed, climbing a small pile of rocks with 75 lbs is a workout on another level, and it's so simple. Reminds me of when I used to do triathlons with a little lifting... when I would go on a once a year week long backpacking trip in the hills with some buddies, with a 45 lb pack, and be slammed after day one, despite being able to put up reasonable numbers (not Adrian numbers, but getting there).
Good stuff dude 😭. You come across like the regular gym users like my wife and I, not some clearly roided up youtuber pushing this or that product 👍🏿. I wish you much success here. Very genuine which is hard to come by in 2022😎. Oh and of course... WYNIE!!! LEGS!!! 😤
Definitely nothing else like it and the price really isn't as crazy as it used to be. Sure the price is premium but with everything else rising and this falling it's not that big of a stretch anymore.
Thank you. I might show it better in the dumbbell handles they make (I can't remember). It hasn't been an issue for me but def caught me off guard some.
Didn’t know they have a newer version, the lack of consistent knurling on the first gen turned me off considering the price. I may get this one now. Thanks for the review
Awesome video, glad you sacrificed your bar so I don't have to.il definitely be picking one of these up when they go on sale(it'll make it easier to justify)
damn it Gluck, I was watching your video as I got the discord notification of rogue gbs. couldn't order in time, this is your fault so please make anothwr bench review video! include rogue adjustable bench 3.0 and straydog alpha!
If you think this is expensive in the US, it is even more expensive in Norway. You guys get it for cheap. I have to pay 870 usd for the same bar excluding shipping, and I live in Norway. Probably one of the reasons that most norwegians would buy Rogue before they buy Gungnir. It is cheaper ordering Rogue from belgium, than Gungnir from the shop next door. Anyway, I’m rambling. Thanks for this review, as always I enjoyed your video.
I just bought the Rep AB-5200 because of your video. I also got the clear coat because of how good you said it looked, but i didnt realize you had an affiliate link so is it too late? Or is there something I can do, like leaving some review that says I heard about Rep from you, that would still help you out?
Damn 😭 that sucks for me but there's not much you can do about it outside of canceling and reordering. It happens honestly, most times, people don't realize or think and they try to email etc but once any company has the money and processes it's too late. Not the end of the world and I appreciate the thought.
Excellent review! [side rant]: Dropping weights was never a thing; equipment is too expensive to be playing around. Same for adjustable db's - who "needs" to (ever) drop a db!
Things get dropped for sure. I've had times with heavy DBs where the weight didn't go up right or something happened and it was my shoulder or that weight. You better believe I let that thing go. Sure you don't need to throw things around and this is dramatized to show how well they actually hold but drops can happen. Hopefully not like this 😂
I have the DB handles, which I love. Zero regrets. That said, the barbell version seems a bit overkill, IMO. Also, doesn't the 28mm shaft make it an Oly bar, not a multipurpose? Finally, that was more of a roll test. It needs more impact from an unobstructed vertical path. I suggest you climb onto the roof at Yaheetech HQ and drop it from there. Bonus points if you hit the CEO's Mercedes Benz S-Class....er, 1998 Ford Escort.
We reviewed the handles too (as you know) and I think it makes more sense on a handle but a lot of people think the other way around. Either way they work great on both. Yeah it's designed as an oly which I compare the specs too right off the bat but tbh whether we call it an oly or multi purpose it's somewhere between either way since you could argue oly should have bearings. I debated a big drop test but getting on top of the barn is 10x the death trap this test was 😂
@@GlucksGym Ah, true. I was too hyper focused on getting a Yaheetech reference in there and missed it. And regarding the drop test, “If there’s no risk of dying, it’s not even worth trying”. - Thomas Edison (maybe)
I think im gonna pull the trigger. The little gap wouldn't bother me as i leave a pinky finger size gap between the collars and plates anyway to let the plates breath......plus i can flex on the neighbors i don't know
Hey that rack is pretty loaded up! It's a good idea. I have a few things like that written down but not specific to a company so I'll add that to the list.
i was anticipating some decent drop test carnage there , ala random pedestrian getting steamrolled across the shins or vehicle tail light smashing. But no... Maybe next time, Wynie can drop it and we see how well you fare downstream ?
@@GlucksGym first time I said pricker bush outside of Maine, people looked at me like I was an idiot. Not that I wasn't, but up to that point they didn't know for sure. Turns out that's mostly a Northeast thing.
Should we come up with an even crazier drop test or send all our bars down a 100' pile of rocks?

I’ve been checking these out. Absolutely beautiful. A reasonable price for the level of luxury. There is nothing else like it.

We appreciate the effort of your weighted uphill cardio training😅👌🏻 Thanks for the fine content.
They removed the path up they're and I didn't realize until I already thought of the test 😂😢
Nice review Adrian, this bar is very unique in the best kind of way...much like the reviewer, keep of the great work! Thanks 👍
Thanks Joe! I appreciate it!
The cat tongue rating is the single greatest innovation to the fitness industry in the last 65 years
I tend to agree. I apologize for my attitude on it 😭
These sleeves are freakin sick
Really well done and the locks are fun to play around with.
I have this bar, it is outstanding, can't recommend it enough.
Happy to hear it!
Excellent review, never was aware of the instance where the locking collar increments would allow the plates to be loose.
Thank you. I might show it better in the dumbbell handles they make (I can't remember). It hasn't been an issue for me but def caught me off guard some.
What an absurd test. Loved it.
😊 haha thanks!
New industry standard test! Love it :) Also, I'm now a powerbuilder. Always was one, actually, I just didn't know it until now :
Hahaha. Honestly I like bodybuilding more but this has kept my interest for awhile
Wow, if anything that last test shows how impressively durable the Fringe 15lb bumpers are!
It is a good test for those as well
Didn’t know they have a newer version, the lack of consistent knurling on the first gen turned me off considering the price. I may get this one now. Thanks for the review
Power bodybuilding! Basically what I do! Every time I watch your videos I wish I’d gotten the PR 5000! 😂
Even when you watch the Monster Rack review 😂
Awesome video, glad you sacrificed your bar so I don't have to.il definitely be picking one of these up when they go on sale(it'll make it easier to justify)
It def will. Glad they brought it down from the original 800. Thank you!
Never seen this sort of drop test but I liked it. Would love to see an even crazier one.
Working with I have 😂 I gotta figure out how to get it even crazier!

You mean for me right? 😘

I've heard similar things about Bells of Steel and Canadians. Crazy, I had no idea. Thanks for the support though, it means a lot.
Coop from GGR just did a comparison to an 80$ barbell from Amazon to a $1000 form Eleiko. It was freaking hilarious😂😂
Best ending ever.

uuuuh, this video is a bingoooooooo
Looks like a cool bar. Let's see you drop it off a 3 story building or something 😂
Next up on Gluck's Gym
How is the bar's central knurling? Grippy enough for low bar back squats?
Very passive.
Essentially, you're paying $300 for collars. Seems hard to justify.
But I still want one.
You're kinda right but here we are 😂
Come to Colorado and drop it off the side of a 14’er. Or a glacier. Your pick…
