Lifting Better: The Kabuki Bar

Tune in for my latest video on straight or standard barbell vs a Kabuki Kadillac Bar or what is often called a multi-angle or multi-grip bar. Here I discuss why a Kadillac bar is a good training addition (based on shoulder anatomy) and then demonstrate which exercises are best suited for a standard barbell or a Kabuki bar, in a relatively unbiased way, including old-time bodybuilding favorites like bench presses, bent over rows, barbell curls, and tricep extensions. So tune in and learn how to maximize results while decreasing unnecessary joint stress/strain. As with all content on Exerciselab: more results less pain.

heres my take on this bar and some alternatives. this bar shines for tricep bench press ONLY. the edges that stick out on the kadillac bar is what makes it not worth buying. a duffalo bar is easier on the shoulders, has better range of motion (because it doesnt have the protruding edges) and can be used for squats. kadillac is ok for rows but because of the protruding edges a standard olympic bar gives a better range of motion. again, same with overhead presses- the kadillac is ok but awkward as the protruding edges force you to hold it further from your center of mass whereas a strongman log just feels better and can be rolled onto your chest using the same hand position. the kadillac bar looks cool and feels solid but its a 1 trick pony that doesnt excel at anything else and not worth its price tag imho.
