Cambered Bench Press Bar Reviews

4.6 Rating 49 Reviews

The Cambered Bar is a specialty training Olympic barbell outfitted to reduce unnecessary strain on your wrists and shoulders. As your weightlifting grows more intense over time, the pain and discomfort of traditional barbell squats and presses will increase on your shoulders. That is why this cambered bar is so effective for beginners as well as enthusiasts. The bend of the weight sleeves helps stabilize your center of gravity, boosting the security and safety of the exercise. When used for bench press, your hands are positioned on the upper part of the barbell through the movement while the weight plates sit four inches lower than a traditional barbell. By adding the Cambered Bar to your everyday routine, you will enhance traditional bench press techniques, improve your physique, and bring a unique stimulus to your workout.

“Product dimentions provided on website are not accurate regarding the camber width. Overall length of the bar (86"), width between sleeves (52.25"), and camber offset (4"), are all a tiny bit off, but insignificant (~1/16"~1/8"). Camber width is given as 22", but is maybe just under 26". That 4" is very significant especially considering it has a direct impact on a critical aspect of the bar, grip width. If only planning to use the bar as a one trick pony, bench pressing, then that might be ok, again depending on your grip width. If someone has narrower shoulders, it'd be too wide. And with an increased ROM, it might be better to come in just a bit. For me, my hands need to come all the way to the camber, about an inch closer on each side than if I used a straight bar. But if I want to use it for rows, I'm forced to use a wide grip, about 5" wider than if I used a straight bar (a different exercise). If it were true to spec, I'd have to edge out about a half inch or so on each side, which wouldn't be very significant and might be ok with the increased ROM. As it turns out, it appears they've changed the design of the bar to have this extra wide camber. Online it was 22"(that specific number came from somewhere, and is not just some random number), but upon my questioning of it, they've updated that to 25.5". You can tell from the photos of the old design, that it had been 22" in the past (unless and until they update the photos too). It's my belief that they updated the design to expand their marketing of it from just bench press/row bar, to bench press/row/squat/quasi curl bar too. This would be an unfortunate mistake brought about by bean counters and not exercise scientists. To their great credit, they did accept a return for refund. Their customer service was prompt and courteous about the whole thing. So I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything I might need from them. This isn't meant to be a bad review of the company, just an unfortunate one. Otherwisel, the knurling of the bar is beautiful, and the chrome feels solid. It feels well balanced side to side, so no imbalance to have to compensate for somehow. So on appearance, the bar is very well made and I'd love to like this bar, but functionally I don't like the apparently updated design...”

“Awesome way to keep tension on chest while in max stretch position. Using this as a warm up makes a traditional barbell bench feel extra explosive.”
