Awesome overview! I haven’t seen any videos about the Heavy Duty Curl Bar either. So if you all could do an overview of it, that would be great be much appreciated as well! Keep up the great work
Thanks for the consistent content! I like your approach lifting. I especially liked a video you made when you were talking about bulking and actually committing to increasing calories and tracking it and really pushing to new bodyweight. I maingained for 7 years probably right around the 185-190 bw mark. And recently did an intentional bulk and broke past the 200 mark. Bulking is the way! (I realize this video is a product review) but I figured that if I commented on a super old video it might get missed. Also comments on current videos usually help the metrics more. Anyways keep up the epic content!
I'm a Marrs bar convert, I've had one for a year and half and haven't squatted with a straight bar since. Squat went from 305 to 415. So my groove is a little different, I'm not entering a powerlifting meet so who cares.
Holy Jesus H. Christ in a taxicab, is that the box it comes in?! That's bigger than the box my squat rack came in! Okay, bigger by only a little bit, but still...
That's exactly backwards actually. With the bar lower on your back it sits right over your hips and loads your glutes like crazy when you squat. I have one, glutes light up every time.
@@grantmetcalf9688 as someone who just has an olympic bb and was originally looking for a SSB, what are the main differences for choosing SSB vs Marrs bar?
i use this bar for a 70 year old man who cant get his hands on the straight bar. great bar, its a shame its so expensive, the 35 pound bar feels cheap frl

you are on roids now and now you getting gains?
@@KIKKAAA685 All natural. I just started eating a calorie surplus
very nice, have the marrs bar on the wish list for the near future. Good stuff grant.
Interesting video. I've never used the mars bar before.
Yep! I really did love the original with the leather pad it had the best feel
I only use my Marrs bar now for squatting

love unboxing videos

Yeah, not sure why even powdercoat the main bar... it always gets scratched off. Definitely a function over form product.
Ok but why is there no 45 lb marrs bar. Marrs bar math is the worst math.
glue 5 pound weights on if its that annoying. the bar is hollow, you could fill it with shot or anything to bring it up to 5 pounds
@@chasejohnson1122nobody will do this…
SSB bar is better
I don't see any reason to use this type of bar for low bar squats
bars like this are to target quads in a narrow stance
you are wrong and dumb. ssb is a high bar position, marrs bar is a low bar squat position. quads get worked more from high bar.
That's exactly backwards actually. With the bar lower on your back it sits right over your hips and loads your glutes like crazy when you squat. I have one, glutes light up every time.
No, a SSB is not better. And not again on the narrow stance - quads statement. Please educate yourself before making dumb post.
@@grantmetcalf9688 Kid first add your real picture before you talk OK? you dont even look like you lift and you pretend to be spec on the topic
