I use it for deads, overhead press, shrugs and bent-over rows.

I set mine up like the bottom pic, works great when you just don't want a bar across your back.

I would love that thing to bench with my fucked up shoulder. BB bench is out for a while, it has to be DBs.

That's precisely why I bought it. Then I discovered I liked DLing with it better as well. And overhead pressing. Hell, when my knees allowed I even squatted with it a few times! Love this bar. Much more versatile than one of those multi-grip ones. Also, being made by Watson Gym Equipment it has proven indestructible. Those guys make quality equipment.
Shall I mail it to you? ;)

Aren't you in the Netherlands? It would cost more to ship it than for me to buy new!

Probably. Just from the UK to Holland cost about 25% of the bar itself. Worth it though. I just can't bring myself to just give it to the commercial gym Band I work out at now.

I have the Sorinex version of that bar. They call it the "Diamond Bar"

AJ how do you like your TDS dip stand??
I have few of the specialty bars from NY Barbell. They are quite good.

They're a great bit of kit, I like attaching a rope to it and alternating between pushing and pulling.
The gym at work is too tight to buy one, so we have to make do with using an upside down vaulting box loaded with weights, lol.

LOVE IT. I have a lot of stuff from NY Barbell. They are probably second to Rogue as my supplier.

I would need the part that you step in to be a much larger diameter to account for my flaring V taper and wide shoulders

I liked it for deadlifts as a teenager.
Now I use straight bar for everything.
Favorite non-standard huh? I like climbing ropes. Builds great grip strength, biceps and lats. And it gets your adrenaline going. When your 12 feet in the air you're like, "I can't f this up" hahaha

Ha, I've seen a couple of people fall off the 30 ft ropes when doing climbs. The results weren't pretty.

yeah usually people who don't know how to climb a rope, muscle up all the way to the top, then don't realize it takes just as much to come back down. Usually their grip falls out. People who know how to leg lock it very rarely fall.

Yeah, Its all about gripping with the knees and getting your knees high for nice big shifts.
Saw a photo of an MMA dude climbing a 22 ft rope arms only with a 24kg chain attached to him, which is pretty impressive.

Hahaha thought the same thing and was surprised to see nobody posted it. I quickly went to google images and the rest is history.
