Customer Rating: Summary: great for deadlifts, shrugs Comment: in the past I have been reluctant to use a bar for shrugs because it rubs against my lower ab/groin area (fellow guys know what I'm talking about). you can lean forward to get the bar away from the body, but when you are lifting heavy weights it puts a lot of stress on the lower back.
this bar is great for shrugs and deads. it is so comfortable to use that i look forward to using it. I like the handgrip for deads. its much easier than the palm in/palm out grip when using a straight bar. better yet, you don't have the bar scraping up your shins, knees and thighs when lifting.
the bar is very well made and feels solid. great product.
