I've had a change of heart.

That actually looks pretty good.

Looks like an accident waiting to happen far anyone without some serious experience.

The Frog is just a gimmicked ab wheel.

No doubt it works but a bit excessive when a simple $5 ab wheel will do the job.

Fake plates I think, guy at the beginning is way too small to be inclining 405.

Looks odd.  The bar doesn't move right.

But using fake plates at a busy commercial gym?

Word would get around.

That bar-gimmick will die a quick and painful death, never to be seen again...

https://www.strongtheorysystems.com/products/strong-theory-bar-barbell-2-0?variant=37404049440968 - there's the site for it. It's interesting, but in practice it will probably spend 95% of its time not being used, like most overly complicated bars.

But I still don't get the point. It basically turns a barbell movement into some sort of a dumbbell movement - so why not simply use dumbbells? lol

That's part of the selling point for it. No need to buy extra dumbbells, no need for spotters/helpers to help you position dumbbells, no lost energy setting up. I remember when they first came out with it, they tried marketing to powerlifters like that.

Looks dangerous, unnecessary and gay all at the same time. He’s lucky he wore trusty Orange today or he’d probably still be buried. That’s thinking with your wig on straight.

“…the guy at the beginning” means the guy at the beginning of the video, 0:00.  He’s incline-pressing 405 to his neck with relative ease.

Why?

Keep it simple stupid. That bar is just a recipe for disaster. Pec test waiting to happen.

Would guess it works like shit after a few months when dirt in debris get inside the slide tracks and mess it up.
