Vince Taylor: September 1989

Somebody dropped off an old IRONMAN magazine at the gym.

In this issue, there is an ad & article on a piece of equipment called a "U-Bar". Vince Taylor did the demos:

Exactly. The piece of equipment apparently never caught on.

I guess the only advantage it would have over dumbbells is that it is plate loaded. And you could change the weight easily.

If I'm not mistaken there was resistance as you squeezed together, unlike dumbbells.
