[@gabys2]

Thanks for showing us innovative equipment!

[@jopu643]

Good review. Like the variety of uses and add ons that can be used in a small space.

[@obrilest]

Looks like another strong tool to add to the arsenal! Thanks Mike!

[@georgestroumpos2883]

Thanks for doing this video. I especially like how you put the bar through a number of tests (glad it held up). And, as always, I love the fact you relentlessly seek out new products and review them objectively. Fantastic review!

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks George. It's a mutual effort so if hear or know of something and want me to check it out, just let me know.

[@josephvendetti1330]

Looks like an extremely versatile cool product! Thanks Mike

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks for watching Joseph

[@Drewulveling]

Great review! Very versatile product!

[@harrystockton6261]

Great video. Will definitely have to check it out.

[@christopheratkinson635]

Wow Mike that is a great product. Crazy how it can be so versatile, strong and well built it is! Thanks for always keeping it fresh and relevant.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Christopher. I think this thing was a hidden gem

[@Mrwatson185]

Mike, I am waiting for my collar hooks to be delivered (ordered just yesterday) and you drop another absolute banger. Once again, congratulations for partnering with this company as I can’t think of a better advocate. I will once again wait for the giveaway in hopes that I can score one of these bad boys and if not then most likely place an order shortly after. Thanks for the great content!

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks so much. Let me know how you like the hooks when you get them.

[@hybridresistance]

You're in luck brother because you won the bar! Anyone that wonders how I select it, I randomly scroll up and down until one of my kids says "stop". Please email me within 48hrs to claim. Thanks again!

[@Mrwatson185]

@@hybridresistance no way!!! Emailing right away! Thanks!

[@lukestevens8402]

Love this! I remember seeing videos of Al when I was trying to figure out how to make my own resistance band set up several years ago. Standing in Home Depot or Lowe’s and getting after it they’re in the store with a resistance band workout off of pipes.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Luke. Al is the man for sure. He's creativity and versatility of this product is extremely underrated in my book.

[@StevieRichardsFitness]

Wow this looks like an amazing product. Keep up the great work.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks so much Stevie.

[@steveoake2901]

Thanks Mike for another excellent review. I had seen these on Amazon and thought they might have been a gimmick. You have changed my mind and I now see the use for such a setup. I look forward to the upcoming F2 platform review.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Steve. It can seem intimidated at first which I think throws people off, but very fun tool once you start messing with it.

[@torypayne8711]

Great looking product that could serve pretty well as a travel unit. Great review

[@hybridresistance]

Yes, I didn't hit the portability benefits as much as I wanted to in the video

[@ajohnson5080]

Would love to have this in my arsenal- ironically was just looking for similar bars on Amazon and then saw you just reviewed this!

[@hybridresistance]

Appreciate it my friend.

[@iramazinr]

Great video! I'm trying to decide between this and the vector athletics bar!

[@hybridresistance]

Thank you. I’d say if you want a designated ez curl then the vector is the way to go. We’re talking about making an ez bar option, but for you can just get a cheap

[@thoth80]

Looks great and very versitile!

[@Olmekc]

Extreme versatility!

[@brandonmiller527]

Another great video! Looking forward to seeing the interview with Al. 💪Brandon Miller 💪

[@hybridresistance]

Will do.

[@matthewruhland8443]

looks awesome!

[@fwendt2000]

Looks pretty impressive!

[@ECIA78]

Great stuff Mike thanks a lot. Massive versatility, sturdiness and pinpointed to connect the dots of hybrid training. It would be of great value if may, when going for the full review, compare it to the Clench Hybrid bar. Do you think they are comparable or maybe even competitors? thanks a lot Emanuele

[@hybridresistance]

Great comment Emanuele. I'm thinking about doing a full comparison sometime in the near future after I review the footplate.

[@countbelisarius9742]

Looks very creative.

[@davidgraham6195]

Looks interesting in been thinking about a bar workout

[@lildrummerboy80]

Awesome. As always

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks man.

[@JReed5635]

This looks like a great product!

[@hybridresistance]

I will ask, but it's a new site that is in the works.

[@captain4825]

I would Love this bar!

[@hybridresistance]

I got you in the running my friend.

[@eladmitchell752]

i like how compact the bar is,i no longer bench with a long bar because it put to much pressure on my delts instead of chest,so ill have order one,bar looks solid yes.plus the price isnt bad and not just a ordinary bar having so many uses,appreciate u mike 🫡

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks ELAD!

[@JG-pz3cb]

I would use with resistance bands and some light weights. Like the versatility of this bar. It’s the one for me.

[@brianscott8456]

looks very versatile!

[@thomasorourke210]

Very cool. Reminds me of race kart axle locks. Versatile.

[@TomOhle1]

really cool to see the innovation taking place in this space. i’d love to see an interview with the inventor.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Tom. I'll definitely do that.

[@DeadLinux]

Ohhhhh.... I could clean out some of the bars I have! I'm seeing the possibilities here for sure. ... May need to consider one of these

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks brother. I think you'd dig it for sure. Very much like using and upgrading the tools at Eorland Gray-Mane's at Whiterun

[@LincolnBash-iq6tj]

Lincoln bash. Would live the f2 bar as im trying to start a home gym and dont really have the budjet for it.

[@marcaube7257]

The bar is priced in a proper range for a band bar. Attaching a 7 or 5.5 inch carabiner snap hook to the eye bolt will allow a loop or tube band to be mounted safely. To purchase additional hardware to mount weights exceeds the pricing of an actual weight bar.

[@rambojohn7118]

Thanks for the review video Mike. I trust your reviews because of your background in lifting and background with numerous resistance bands equipment setups. This F2 looks to have the most versatility of all the bars so far. One question; I saw in the video that you were using tube bands attached to the center of the F2 bar, what tube bands are of excellent quality and strength do you recommend ?Thanks again for the F2 review.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks so much. I'm not a huge tube band person, but I'm using these squatharness.com?sca_ref=5173717.yfnXRU7Ipi Shameless plug you can save 15% with "SBT15" I feature these because I find that for the cost they're hard to beat with what you get. I have also used bodylastics, but I like having the fabric covered ones so I don't have to worry about wear n tear as much.

[@Ricks.007]

This thing looks awesome….👏

[@bobl9949]

Hello, I am gravitating more towards this item, I'm strongly considering returning my IsoMax and getting this given its diverse uses. Thank you again Mike.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks for watching Bob. Code "hybridresistance" should save you 20% if you're interested.

[@RespectKarma87]

As always your videos are awesome. I've been meaning to ask if you'd do a video comparing a total gym to a bowflex.

[@hybridresistance]

Many have asked for a Bowflex review but I've kind of given up on them just because I find using a resistance band would be similar and a little more cost effective. It's not totally out of the picture, but I think they just filed for bankruptcy so I'm not sure what will happen with them

[@RespectKarma87]

@@hybridresistanceThat's understandable. I also heard they filed for bankruptcy, but the price of their bowflex pr1000 hasn't decreased.

[@trellwiggins2539]

Wow this looks impressive 😮💪😃

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks for watching again brother.

[@jimperry4420]

Ingenious.

[@reginaldhblackwood8474]

This bar is the best of the best.😊

[@edsweeney6843]

WOW. That's awesome. Probably more complicated than what I need. But very cool. 😊 Ed Sweeney would love to win it.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Ed

[@solonys9775]

I'm quite interested in this; I'm currently using a cheapo Amazon bar for resistance band training and am reaching the limits of it. I was looking at getting a better bar but the price is rather steep; I understand the cost, but it doesn't make it easier to swallow to get into an entire system like the Harambe/X3.

[@bobl9949]

I have to say that this F2 Bar with attachments is Amazing, especially with the many options available making it a versatile piece of equipment to a home gym set-up. I am interested in this giveaway but was wondering if you have to be a paid member which is most likely understandable.

[@hybridresistance]

I appreciate that Bob. You didn’t have to be a paid member or anything, but I unfortunately already did the giveaway earlier in the week.

[@Rikotsu1]

What an impressively modular bar! It really looks like an Engineering marvel. Potentially overly complex but I'd live to give it a try. Here's to hoping I win. Victor Vazquez

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Victor

[@ELDogStar]

Winner! Eric Lundquist!

[@mrqualityreviewer4752]

I was looking at this very interesting. Extremely creative and versatile but it does look like alot of adjustments needed

[@hybridresistance]

It's intimidating at first, but pretty straight forward the more you realize what needs you'd have for it.

[@jc-aguilar]

I wish it had something like a safety bar adapter for squats. Because I have arthritis my shoulders can’t go back to hold a straight bar.

[@hybridresistance]

That could be coming....

[@ELDogStar]

These systems have become very popular.

[@tylershelton748]

My only question is- can you set up 2 anchor points on the sides of the platform for isometrics or just the one in the middle? I’m looking for something I can do isometric bench press on, as well as other isometrics where I can pull more evenly on each side, rather than just the one point (like the Isomax).

[@hybridresistance]

Yes, you can set up 2 anchor points on the side. There's actually a crazy number of possibilities with the foot plate.

[@goblinsgym]

Does it have a rated strength ? Nothing mentioned on their web site. The FAQ is broken...

[@giulianopetronelli4454]

The Swiss Army knife of barbells!

[@hybridresistance]

Definitely

[@stevensauve9944]

Love you ❤😊 please Canada Ottawa.

[@Resist_The_Band]

Cool. He is the man that went to Home Depot to show off his product 😂

[@Jumptrain101]

I have seen this product for quite some time. I actually inquired to the company about some questions I had on configuring a bar for my specific purchase. they never responded back, so I went with another product. Their customer service needs to improve.

[@hybridresistance]

I can't speak with your specific situation, but I can tell you talking MANY hours with Al, I think he does way too many customizations for his own good. With that said, I've seen some crazy things he's made for people. We're talking about doing some "limited run" equipment for specific things.

[@Jumptrain101]

I just couldn't figure out exactly the configuration I needed. His website is just too confuing to navigate with confidence@@hybridresistance

[@shall7070]

Seems that it lacks the simplicity of the X3, but the more competitors in band hook systems, the better

[@hybridresistance]

I'd say it's more the knurling of the X3 that's the bigger draw because you certainly can just create a knock off with the F2 and just not mess with it.

[@Ephesians64blogspot]

Excellent content!

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Brian.

[@jaime5199]

Did you do the raffle yet. Here's my entry if not! :)

@@hybridresistance thank you 🫵🏼

[@Angelo-ew9cs]

Can the F2 be used with x3 footplate?

[@hybridresistance]

Yes, definitely.

[@Angelo-ew9cs]

​@@hybridresistance Thanks been looking for an alternative to the pricer x3 bar. This one looked to be sturdy that won't break on me. I also liked the fact you can add some weights to that bar. The starter bar that cost $150 comes with the proper hooks for those latex bands? Any warranty on the bar that you know of? I am just starting seen so many positives of the usage of this type of equipment that I bought a used x3 board from a trusted source. I am someone whom is new to this I heard that serious steel and Rogue bands are just as good as the x3 bands which would you recommend that is just as good, but at a good price point? Thank you in advance! ❤

[@Angelo-ew9cs]

I just notice collar hooks one your links wonder if those would also be a safe bet if I buy a good one piece capacity barbel along with these hooks?

[@pauldunn9502]

Too complex. I have a ten minute training span so an X3 is fine

[@hybridresistance]

I hear you Paul, but it's really as complex as you want it to make. I know Al was pre making and selling many of them for people who wanted cheaper X3 alternatives initially.
