I definitely feel you're continuing to innovate and improve on your original Transformer bar design! I have two questions regarding the pad. 1. You said it is a useful alternative to using a belt on the belt squat, but isn't the primary point of a belt squat to remove pressure entirely from your back and distribute it onto your hips? I'm sure there is still some utility in using the pad on a belt squat, but I am not sure it would be a direct replacement as much as an alternative. 2. In your other video specifically highlighting the pad, you claimed that using the pad with a straight bar and some straps creates a better SSB experience than any of the other SSBs on the market with the exception of your Transformer bar. While I haven't tested it myself, the handles being loose straps and not stiff handles as well as the fact that a straight bar lacks a forward camber makes this seem more useful in a "training wheels" situation where you're teaching someone to squat (similar to the "Manta Ray" squat assistant/pad), not as a replacement for an SSB. Even if you didn't mind the loose handles, as I know some people put chain handles on their SSBs, the lack of a camber on the bar itself means the bar won't pitch you forward and tax your upper back like SSBs are generally intended to. What are your thoughts on this?

What’s the length of the bar? Will it fit snug inside something like a rogue 9 bar holder? Alternatively can it fit comfortable in a double decker darko anchor on a 30” rack?

I cant remember the exact dimensions right now but its on the current transformer bar page. Unchanged. Same length as standard barbells - i don't know about those product specs so I can't answer but i use it rogue bar holders i have.- chris.

Will the X-pad fit onto the old transformer bar? And how do you adjust the difficulty level like before if you can't remove the sleeve?
@MadScientistDuffin3 ай бұрын
yes it retrofits. "difficutly" setting is something my team came up with the simplify the chart that wasn't quite right. Its only more difficult in forward settings vs not more difficult during those closer to backsquat. And a goblet squat isnt' really a goblet squat without it being in more diffituclt setting. So thats why i said in the video it "eliminates extraneous settings" and only has the ones that really make sense. As you move it to goblet it gets further awway, as you move to back squat it gets closer to postion... and in fact gets in better postion. Then I added settings between all the settings to add more refinement to selections. Its built on a "cam system based on the Fibonacci spiral" is how it does it without removing the sleeves..
