A worthwhile specialty bar or not for you? 👉 gluck.fit/CubbRotatingBar

[@PaulieHo]

If they added a middle piece that has a landmine attachment this would be killer.

[@BasementBrandon]

Interesting to see so many options/variations as an initial release.

[@GlucksGym]

Agreed. Seems they really thought this through

[@iammrblue]

I watch theses videos not only for an opinion on garage gym equipment but for the hilarious one liners and self aware hummer. Thank you and keep it up.

[@GlucksGym]

Thanks for the support!

[@murdog04]

I really like the idea behind this specialty bar and considering the cost of a lot of the high end specialty bars this one seems reasonable priced for all you get w/it. Thanks so much for the great review as always. V/R Shane

[@GlucksGym]

I had a similar though while looking at my Rogue MG-4, Kadillac bar, and even just normal barbells that cost this much and more.

[@1999TransAmWS6]

I wish I came across this video sooner. I just got mine in. Its a pretty amazing bar. I played around with it today and cant wait to use it in my program. I ended up ordering one of the custom sizes for a rackable 22.5" grip to grip. The adjustable one was just too expensive for the use it will get. It'll mainly be for curls, close grip bench, and arnold presses. I played around for a while figuring out the grip width to order. 22.5" is about the width of my EZ curl bar, Kabuki Kadillac inner grips, and Titan viking press attachment. I averaged the width from the three of them. Looks well built and should last a lifetime.

[@timfritton469]

Nice video! I think you covered everything people may be wondering about this bar. It's an interesting piece of equipment. Hope you keep using it!

[@GlucksGym]

Definitely will. It works very well and it's been creeping it's way into workouts.

[@babygiantbarbell1014]

Glad to see this bar deliver. It is definitely interesting, and I can overlook the Prime green with everything it can do😅 great video y’all!

[@GlucksGym]

Thank you. Hahah the Prime green

[@marvellstarks2434]

Heck yeah I been waiting for this review

[@GlucksGym]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@joecowan3719]

This bar has had me intrigued ever since your Arnold video...def does more than I expected. Great review as always!

[@GlucksGym]

I didn't have high hopes but have to admit it really performed so much better than I'd have thought.

[@gainmachines]

Great review as always!

[@GlucksGym]

Thanks! I appreciate that.

[@QuickQuips]

This replaces Swiss bars and row attachments for me. This looks amazing.

[@brettpearson4379]

Incredible piece of equipment. Great video.

[@GlucksGym]

😃 thank you!

[@NoFate247]

Much better than I thought it would be when I first saw it in your Arnold VLOG

[@GlucksGym]

Agreed. I had a lot of doubts but this thing did way better than expected.

[@JMOSSBLB]

I work at the machine shop that makes those & I've tried the bar when I saw the owner at the Ymca.Really love it but out of my budget for now cause my car needs worked on & plus I want to focus my money towards getting some songs ive written produced.I got an album out a few yrs ago& it's well past time for me to get in the recording studio but it takes 💰 I Don't have yet.I will probably get one of the cheaper bars.We do parts for Chrysler,Ford,etc where i work but its not quite chrysler or ford kind of pay.We do some machine,blast & impreg work on them.

[@douglowry7382]

More interested in the product you have all those parts sitting on.

[@GlucksGym]

Working on the Rep Utility Seat review. Should be too long

[@Aquefaque]

Very good review as usual!! I was expecting a "spill my coffee all over the place price", but for 500 USD, that's not that much for the complete system... A simple high end curl bar is like 300? This thing, if well made like you said, can be much more...

[@GlucksGym]

Exactly my thoughts. My kadi costs this and my MG4 was WAY more expensive.

[@serbeefheart9964]

As someone who gets giddy when forearm workouts are mentioned, Gluck needs to buy a 13 dollar karate belt off of Amazon and play with it on his Ares. Outside of the arm wrestling community, I have never seen any home gym content creator mention using one. With their ability to be wrapped around the hand(or not) at any length, they are insanely versatile and regularly get picked over my other cable attachments for more standard exercises on my Ares. 13 dollars wouldn't be too bad for a "Ultimate low budget cable attachment" video.

[@enriquel1993]

The arnold press on these look so easy and pain free

[@GlucksGym]

Definitely not easy with the band on there but it was a heck of an exercise.

[@Peter-cx4ir]

I like this channel

[@GlucksGym]

me too

[@scooobyj8714]

That’s a cool bar. It is a bit expensive. But it seems like you can do a lot with it.

[@GlucksGym]

It's not cheap but at the same price as the Kadi and less then the MG4 it seems much more logically priced based on the complexity

[@rambojohn7118]

Looks very versatile. Question; with the top of the line version bar ( modular ) does the buyer get all the components that you show on your table in the video or does the buyer have to purchase all those extras ?

[@GlucksGym]

The modular version comes with 2 bands, the carabiner cable attachment, the shorter center, 2 of those green end caps that go over the connection points for when you have the sleeves off (I never really use those), and the 2 shorter sleeves. That basically equates to the shorter version of the bar. I've got a longer center and a set of long sleeves as well (and a few other things)

[@zachanderson9649]

Seems like it's a pretty cool bar though

[@GlucksGym]

Much better than I'd have thought.

[@DrDeusExMachina]

At $495, I would just buy a kadillac bar

[@GlucksGym]

That's interesting because I thought of how much simpler a kadi and its construction is and was very impressed the modular CUBB is the same price yet the fixed version is much less.

[@hby7768]

is it rack able if you just buy the center extension without the bench extension?

[@GlucksGym]

In the short version (shorter sleeves, short center) it would rack on the sleeves kind of like how a short EZ curl bar would. To make it truly rackable you'd need the longer sleeves.

[@enrikoalfaro6724]

Can you do an updated video on best barbells??

[@GlucksGym]

I've been thinking about it, what you looking for? Best overall? Best specialty? Best Powerlifting?

[@enrikoalfaro6724]

@@GlucksGym That'd be awesome! I am mainly looking for overall and powerlifting. I have been looking at Rogue OHP, StrengthCo Corps, Texas Power, and the other big ones. But really hoping to see a more in depth review on several bars. Thanks!

[@danielsponseller7508]

I second this.

[@lgarcia1249]

Dam Gluck how are you able to balance this with Love is Blind

[@GlucksGym]

It's tough but the other pays better

[@Dixon1430]

I don’t know why but I was unsubscribed from your channel! I was wondering why I wasn’t seeing your newer content so I was looking up your page on my subscriptions and it wasn’t there! 🤷🏻‍♂️ now it is again.

[@GlucksGym]

Happy to have you back 😀

[@michaelpietrzak2067]

So no real way to lock those handles into a single position? They will always be able to be rotated?

[@GlucksGym]

Correct. They can always rotate but as you add weight it becomes harder to do so. All my attempts at benching for example felt very stable and I didn't have to focus on keeping them in place but with curls and other exercises I rotate them if I wanted to. Something like a skull crusher did take a time bit of effort to keep them from moving at times but it was minimal and not distracting.

[@patricksweetra4559]

17 years?!!?

[@GlucksGym]

Yeah I'm basically elderly

[@user-or5sx1ht4h]

Those pegs sticking out on both sides would drive me crazy. Also, the design seems too oversized for most basic movements.

[@GavinBrown]

[0:55] That is a very sneaky (yet very effective) way to get people to join your Patreon group ;-)

[@GlucksGym]

Wynie hosts the Patreon videos now. It's out of necessity because I ran out of free time when I made this channel 😂😭 but she also wants to do more with the channel so it's a very good solution imo
