Yes. I bought this almost two years ago, and back then I was stuck benching 165 with serious pain... now I'm around 275 and zero issues. It takes a couple session for your wrists stablizers to adapt, but after that, it feels much more natural than using a straight bar.
I do use interchangeably for OHP, you just have to tilt your head back a little more to not hit yourself, but it's fine. For some reason I don't have shoulder issues with OHP, just bench.
I also use it for hammer curls, front raises, and skullcrushers.

~$2 tongue cleaner. Once you've cleaned your tongue with one of these, you'll never stop.
$90AUD Nutribullet on eBay. Brb blending raw veggies together because lazy/convenient/would rather drink my calories. Still yet to really experiment with it though. Blends oats up really well. Don't forget to incorporate jaw days into your split as you'll be on dat dere liquid diet after getting one of these, or a good blender in general.

I have to say this one of the best tools for eating clean, especially when you work a lot. I usually live off of chicken breast, turkey patties, and fish, but I don't like having to stand next to a stove to cook it. With this bad boy I can just toss the meat in, put some seasoning on, set a timer, and go watch tv. Rinse and repeat until I have my meals cooked for the week. Best $50 I've ever spent imo**MISC Computer Science Crew**
