 I actually never seen a bar like that, if I had to guess I would say it was home made or an ed jubinville creation.

No not a Jubinville bar......I`m very familiar with all of his stuff being just that he was a town away from where I lived and have visited his company on quite a few occasions back in the day.

It looks like someone had it specially fabricated.......at any rate, I have never seen one like it.

Just agreeing with Wes, this looks like a 1 (or few) off specialty bar. I've never seen anything like it, and I kinda wonder what he was after with it. Odd design.

Edit - Looking at it, it might have something to do grip/forearm work.

      I just wonder what the purpose of that bar is. it's like a variation of the parallel grip barbell ,but for no conceivable reason.

  the only reason I mentioned Jubinville is because if you told him what you wanted back in the day he would try and make it for you. below are two of his custom made creations. the seated multiangled curl bench and the free standing hack squat.

True but Ed would be ashamed to make that thing.....unless it`s a prototype or something!!
