@@Frostbyt3zGaming exactly, not planet fitness but still a big commercial gym , they really don't care about people who train for strength whatsoever, as long as the treadmills are clean who cares lol
I go to a small local gym and the owner is awesome! We may not have tons of special bars, but we have 6 squat racks, 6 barbells, and a few specialty bars (like a trap bar).
Some really great bands playing at Untamed in this video! Hearing Týr was a rare treat for sure! 9:30 Dark Tranquility - The New Build 11:09 Týr's cover of Cemetery Gates by Pantera 11:53 Megadeth - Holy Wars 12:06 ??? (What's this? That bass tone is great!) 12:26 Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face
I hate black bars. Try finding your grip spot in a dark gym. Good luck. Silver is gold. EDIT- Yes the gym has no windows and is on the dark side. Also, they don't allow chalk.
Great video as usual. I watch all of your videos multiple times and learn a lot about training, and get motivated to train. You are far and away one of the most intelligent and detailed video makers as far as explaining in a totally positive way the rationale for what you do and why you do it. Also, you're one of the best and funniest writer/actor/producers on UA-cam. I'm a little disappointed that you took the toilet scene out of your opening montage, but relieved that you found a girl to marry you with that in your opening montage. 😜 Keep it up! Also, some video of the baby snuck in here and there wouldn't hurt.
My gym had like 5 bars and maybe 3 clips. Got tired of watching people curl with them all day so I bought a half rack and put it in my extra bathroom 👌
I lift in a high school weight room. We have nine racks that we squat, bench, and do pull-ups in. We have standard 45 lb straight bars and a 50 lb and one lighter lying around somewhere. We have trap bars with and without handles, and one curl bar. There’s like 4 different machines, and some dumbbells and kettlebells. I didn’t know there were so many types of bars-
Haha, ja. Naja, man bleibt halt bei den Besten hängen um selbst noch etwas lernen zu können. Ich liebe diesen Sport und ich finde von Alan kann man ungeheuer viel lernen, super Typ.
The Ohio power bar is more similar to a bar you’d find in competition. The TPB is thinner, has more aggressive knurling, and is whippier. Folks like it for deadlifting, the whip makes it a bit easier to move heavier weights off the floor. The love for the OPB is that it’s comp standard, but much cheaper (~330) than a Eleiko (~1000) or Titex (~450) bar. If you’re competing, you really want to train how you’ll compete. The 20kg silver OPB knurling is very close to how an Eleiko bar is. Competition plates are expensive, but a good addition too. The Texas squat bar is longer, stiffer, and thicker than a OPB. But has the same issues as the TPB if you’re competing. You really want to replicate the whip and feel of the bar on your back, especially in heavier squats, that you’ll have in a meet, but you don’t want too much whip (like with a TPB) which makes doing reps much harder. So both bars are good bars, it’s really horses for courses, and if you’re on a budget and if you can only get one bar, it’s a question of which bar will give you the most for your specific goals. But that’s the reason for the hype with the OPB. I should note, iirc, the USPA and other feds use the Texas squat bar (iirc), but the USAPL doesn’t. So it’s important to know which bars are being used in whatever federation a lifter might be competing in. A great second bar would be something like the Elitefts Yoke Bar (safety squat bar). We have both the OPB and Yoke bars.
Liked that cambered football bar. Would you consider doing a video on integrating different bars ( cambered bar, swiss bar, safety squat bar) into a routine ? Do you find the variety in benching with various grip angles facilitates more volume at heavier weight ?
I love my texas power bar. I went at it with the same approach that you gave the B&R bar with but wanted a heavier knurling and love it for an all purpose bar. Stiff enough for squats and bench, whippy enough for deads, looks awesome with the thick collars so I'm not banging the plates off my wide af rogue rack, and feels so nice in the hands since it isn't too thick or too thin!
Bro, you should meet up with Jujimufu. You look similar, in appearance and strength and performance, and lifestyle. I'm in So' Cal', but I'm from Pittsburg, and then we moved to Oakley a year before I left the nest.
If you live somewhere with higher than normal humidity it is a pain in the ass. I live along Lake Erie and bare steel is a mess in the summer when humidity kicks up. For my money if you can find it in the Boneyard the Ohio Power Bar is the way to go. I grabbed the 20kg version for $250. $285 with tax and shipping.
I love my Elite FTS cabmered bar. While rehabbing an impingement in my left shoulder it's allowed me to bench when a regular bar was painful. Besides an SSB bar a football bar should be the first 2 specialty bars on your list.
Great to see that "death" banner at the wall, and crazy to find someone who remembers Venom's black metal song :))) Great music, a lovely dog, nice barbells review... btw, those TBP collars look veeeeeeeeeery inspiring... Its a very beautiful bar !!! Cheers from Brasil !!!
I have the B&R bar in a basement home gym. Bare steel of course. Have had it a little over a year now. No hint of rust. However, I've only used chalk on it a few times. (I live in the Kansas City area -- it can get humid here, but it's not Florida).
Can you go over cleaning your bars. I keep mine in an uncontrolled environment and so any tips would be fab. Also, in the UK it is illegal to drive with no hands, if you'd filmed yourself here doing that it would have been a fine (recently a guy got an additional fine when he was speeding and stuck his finger up to the sped camera taking the picture...so didn't have a hand on the wheel in the photo, he must be so annoyed he let his anger get the better of him that time!). Those fat bells remind me of Zom from Doctor Strange comics for some reason (well he had no hands, just metal end caps).
Mr Thrall, if you were to buy your first bar would the Ohio Power Bar Stainless Steel with Steel Sleeves be good choice? I live in Dublin,Ca and I’m starting my garage gym. Thanks.
I started to press my non competition kettlebells using a similar technique to a dumbbell press but it runs into problems at 24 kg due to the size of that kettlebell. Than I saw the actual technique for kettlebell press is actually different. Both arms come across the chest so that the kettlebell handles touch each other, instead of one kettlebell to opposite sides of your body. The shoulders do not get in the way.
I love the Spider Bar, I used to do some fairly heavy box squats with one after deadlifting and it did wonders for my leg drive off the floor, my new gym doesn't have one unfortunately
As a barbell, I find this extremely offensive.
You need to move to Texas to get thicker skin, ése.
you're lucky you're cute

Well he bulked up quite a bit since
Yes, good comparison! 🤣
Lemon powerbar
Coconut powerbar
Powerbar n potatoes

Imagine if someone did rack pulls with that bar with the lock on it.
Imagine going to a gym that actually reinvests into...... The actual gym😩😩😩 must be nice
I asked the guys at my gym would they consider getting a log. They just laughed

Tyr is a good band

Nice bars man. I love the similar to log grip bar and the twisted bar you are doing Bench with. And about time you put some reasonable Metal on:D
Even your dog thinks you’re weird.
Your dog is my favorite part of your videos.
I agree, most ppl who workout just need one decent barbell, doesnt matter what type. All the different types are just a way to sell more barbells
just wanted to say thanks for all the informative and entertaining videos alan. hope you doin good my man! happy holidays
That Leprosy banner is SICK!!
What a dream of a gym. Great music selection. Here I get bombarded with the top 20 all the time.
Your dog is either digging that music or tolerating it because you dig it :)
I knew he was rehearsing some heat in the beginning 😤
Finally someone mentions the Texas power bar! I don't get all the hype for the Ohio bar, huge fan of Texas though

Song at 14:13 is Blinded By Fear by At the Gates
Try Johnson's paste wax on those bare steel bars. Not only is it fantastic for preventing rust, it also gives a really grippy surface.
You got a playlist somewhere boss? You got some badass music
You mean noise?
shit everything is on fire right now after that intro
lovin that leprosy poster on the wall, good shit
As soon as Pantera came I was ready for my workout.
Sphane always
Your lifting playlists are almost exactly the same as what I train to weekly. That's sweet.
Is the rusting on bare steel bars really that bad of an issue?
