'Look What I Bought Today!' - Part Deux

Solid choice! In the cambered FBB category this would've been the runner up to my Kabuki Kadillac Bar that I got this past Christmas.

It's cool how you can flip it over and deficit bench with it as well.

I was thinking the Kadllac bar as well but ultimately went with EliteFTS. It is a nice feature to flip it over to reduce the ROM.

I picked up a set of PowerBlock Elites that go to 90lbs yesterday.

I think I got a good deal on them given the after market in my area for them. The previous owner had them for two years and the condition they're in is pristine.

Those look great. They go for about $600 here w/ the stand now.

I got my blemished Transformer Bar today. Let me tell you there wasn't one single blemish that I could find on this bar.

It is an absolute unit of a bar and I can't wait to start using it in my training. My only concern is the length of the handles. I tried some squats with it with just no weight on it. Keeping my elbows tight and into my sides resulted in the handles hitting the top of my knees. I adjusted by flaring my elbow out a little and shifting the handles forward as I got into the squat hole, which was better.

Other than that I'll see how it performs, but I feel I won't be disappointed.

Congrats. Just a heads up. For some reason the zinc coating Kabuki uses really deteriorates quickly and discolours especially with hand oils and sweat. might be a wipe or two after each use.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to keep it wiped down after training.

I definitely plan to. I had one session with it and it feels great.
