“Always cut towards the neck”, best advice ever given by Coop

@REPfitness 2 года назад

Appreciate the review Coop! Glad you love the bar and look forward to seeing you compare it against our competition. We like our odds ;) As for the slower process of putting out new equipment. We've taken more time during our prototyping phase, testing, blind testing, quality review, and more. It is all done to ensure what ends up in everyone's hands is something that we've spent a lot of hours ensuring is amazing, and a step above anything else out there. Side note: got another pad en route to you. We always take care of our customers, and you're no different. Thanks again!

@LuisVega-iz1zd 2 года назад

I saw it in Coop’s video, but couldn’t test my padding till today. Since I received the Bar on Friday with no padding :/. Yes the padding has more consistency in the back and left padding. The right side padding has less consistency. Would that lead for the padding to wear uneven? Are you guys taking any steps to improve the quality control and correcting the issue? @Rep Fitness

@andycane007 2 года назад

Is it possible if you guys put the weight of the bar on the end cap like coop mentioned?

I got metal letter and number stamps from harbor freight and labeled every bar and accessory handle I have with them. Best thing I did. So much nicer than tryin to remember everything

@chithi8649 Год назад

Thanks for the review. The balance and the handles really sold me on this bar. For someone who hates to do squats and hate the arm placement when doing a normal squat, this is a nice get around. It feels more natural having your arms in front, better form and balance, less stress on your body. Would be nice if the bar had bearings/bushings, but I guess at the price point it's selling at it still offers very good value.

@928guy 2 года назад

Great review 👍

@ronroyce6 2 года назад

The camber ANGLE is 20 degrees. 5" camber drop titan. 6" drop elitefts. 3.5" drop bells of steel. Watch the reviews done by Garage Gym Lab. They go in depth on the balance padding everything.

@ksdaman 2 года назад

Funny I used a safety squat bar almost 30 years ago. Never knew they called them that. It didn’t have handles. The handles that held onto attached to the squat rack and placed to what level you wanted to squat.

@BasementBrandon 2 года назад

Solid addition to their line up

@GarageGymReviews 2 года назад

Agreed

@bigpapipapa256 2 года назад

How’s it compare to the Titan v2 ssb?

@BasementBrandon 2 года назад

@@bigpapipapa256 I think the general consensus is head to head the REP is built better with nicer finishes. However I believe the V2 SSB from Titan can now be had for like $100 or less, so the question is more about what you want from the bar and if you're willing to pay.

@dirtyfilthyrottenstinkinpa835 2 года назад

Another good value bar is the Wright Equipment Made in USA Safety Squat Bar. Knurled handles (fixed, not removable) Olympic style 2 inch diameter sleeves with bearings and black zinc, good padding and a nice powder coat on the shaft. The only downside is the relatively short loadable sleeve length of just under 13 inches. This could be an issue for people using bumpers as opposed to steel/iron plates. The upside is PLENTY of room to rack on a wider squat rack such as a Rogue.

@ak-zw8jv 2 года назад

Saw garage gym lab also did a great comparison of this bar to others. Definitely getting mine assuming it won't be out of stock after all these reviews. Can't wait for a first look at their open trap bar once it ships.

Come on, GGR! Someone should tell Coop about these Greek God names. First Kabuki's Kratos and now Rep's Ares. Love the content, just had a "confused Nick Young" moment 🤣

@kashbadash5167 2 года назад

Would be great if you could review the Cerberus SSB. It has some interesting features: 225k psi tensile, 2.4m length, rotatable sleeves, knurled removable handles and all red cerakote shaft and padding, although bought mine shortly after product release and current one seems to now have a black shaft (have been told they're going to revert to red).

@saidnivon 2 года назад

Coop, maybee adding some serious wieght would show off the way the different cushions pad really behave. Also, when you talk about the "drop difference" between brands, my best guess for the 20º at titans is actually about the angle the shaft makes against the handles plane. Finally, I would suggest to add some tape on the shaft just exactly where the j cups mmet the bar, this is just for coating protection, it looks weird but it will take care of the ssb.

@samrmills Год назад

Good Review. I'm guessing the Pad issue has something to do with how the foam is injected during the manufacturing process...guessing the soft side is the beginning phase and the harder side is the ending phase of the process if that makes sense. Hope it gets fixed
