Has Rogue helped in upgrading the greatest bench press bar there's ever been? By collaborating Rogue and Kabuki have created a unique version of this bar and we're going to find it if it's the best version of the Kadillac bar out there.
I probably own too many multi grip cambered bars so we'll compare some like the Arch Nemesis, Rogue MG4, and Rep's Cambered Swiss bar to this Rogue Kabuki creation so we can see if The Kadillac bar still comes out on top in this review.

Elitefts American Cambered Bar

@jamestonbellajo Год назад

The EliteFTS one is great and you should include that like everyone said but it’s also similar to the Titan one you have. The one from Black Widow Training would be a better choice IMO since it’s different enough and you’d support a small American business like you’ve been trying to do more. But honestly, just get both.

@PronatorsaurusTricepsus Год назад

Fuck the cambered bars. Test American barbell T grip, or Reps direct fotball bar. More versatile!

@Useruytrw Год назад

@GlucksGym Год назад

@gregors00 Год назад

Keen to hear the review on the MG-4CN, and the roller J cups. A yoga block and a knee wrap can take care of the extra depth if it’s an issue, but you can still utilise the nicer grip position.

@richards6431 Год назад

Great bar, worth the price. It feels better on my shoulders. If you don’t have shoulder issues from regular bench then this will definitely seem expensive.

@Tlevy2 Год назад

Another awesome video. I have the bar and really like it. I don’t “need” it but hopefully it will keep my shoulders in good health for longer. Truth be told I’m a Kabuki fan boy. I don’t want to be presumptuous but I bet the Rep one is the best bang for your buck however.

@GlucksGym Год назад

Hahah I wouldn't qualify myself as a fan boy of any company which is maybe why I'm a decent review (if that's what I am). Rogue MG4 and the Kadi are another level (and price) for sure. Thanks for the support!

@zaineridling Год назад

I have zero interest in a cambered bar, but it's a testament to your writing and video skills that I found it interesting. Thanks for saving me $550, especially after my wife thinks I'm a criminal for replacing my old (perfectly good) chainsaw with a new electric one! 👍

@JGoodman333 Год назад

Good video. I've had the Kadilac bar for roughly two years. In my opinion it was completely worth it. I don't mind the powder coated handles. I'm sure the knurling makes it way nicer. Rouge is my favorite fitness equipment company for the reasons you stated. Keep up the good work!

@JGoodman333 Год назад

Great review as usual....I've owned the Kaddy Bar for around 6 months and it was a game changer for my 61 year old shoulders on bench day. I would love to have the knurled version but your review reinforces my take that the change just isn't critical. I can still get my calluses shredded by the knurling on my Shoulderok, power bar...

@GlucksGym Год назад

Thank you! There were some changes but I don't think I'd swap over if I already had one. Glad it's working for you!

@greentube461 Год назад

It would be great if you could do a vieo rundown of all the different cable attachment types and comment on which one are useful and for what purpose. Rogue vs Rep vs Prime vs Mag etc / pronate vs supinate / wide vs narrow / static grip vs rotating etc… Not a single youtube channel out there has done that thoroughly yet. With Rep’s Ares coming out there will for sure be a demand for that type of knowledge. In any case, I appreciate you !

@anubis24354 Год назад

Rep also opened up an alternative to the ares for preorder today that is cheaper. Not as cool, but much more affordable starting point.

When you make it to 20K subs you should the two of you should do a “get to know you video.” Questions such as how did you two meet, how long have you been training (your training journey) , what got you in to home gym and making a channel that kind of stuff.

@jamestonbellajo Год назад

You gotta grab the Black Widow cambered multigrip bar for that throw down too! My buddy got the Rogue Kadillac and I have one from Kabuki. Personally for me, the Rogue one is a downgrade for me. The powdercoat Rogue uses for its specialty bars including their Kadillac is great but it’s nowhere near as nice as Kabuki’s. The knurling feels like the one on my old TB-2 which is nice too but I much prefer the feel of the powdercoat from Kabuki personally. I’m the only one that uses it and my hands aren’t particularly moist so I’m not worried about it wearing.

@GeorgeZimmermen Год назад

Thanks for the info Owen Wilson’s little brother. I’ve had this bar for 2 years. It’s all I use

@JustinRudd42 Год назад

I’ve got one, and in the same boat as Winnie. The widest handles don’t feel good on my shoulders. But the other 2 handles are awesome. I’m sure it’s just psychological, but it just feels more natural to bench with this bar. I was in the boat of “I must use it for all the movements” because it was so expensive. But I got over that…after a couple of years.

@GlucksGym Год назад

Haahaha yep. That an they advertise that it can do all those things so you're gonna try for that kind of money. It's definitely a great bar.

@clb121781 Год назад

Ill never be able to lift heavy enough to justify a purchase like this but I like the range of motion this offers.

@GlucksGym Год назад

Haaha me either!

@rodolfomedini9931 Год назад

1. Yes please do an updated rogue narrow cambered bar review and comparison... 2. You're right Rogue involvement is likely better than relying on Kabuki. The worst part about Kabuki is getting items after ordering. Last time I bought from Kabuki it looked to be in stock with no wait time but took 3 months. I emailed them several times and was about to cancel the order. They exceeded every estimate they gave me and never bothered to update the website to show it wasn't in stock and was on back order. I wouldn't have ordered it had it not been in stock I would have waited for inventory then ordered had I known.

@GlucksGym Год назад

Kabuki is notorious for not being fun to work with as a consumer but they do make some innovative stuff. I think longterm this is better and it's resulted in a better bar.

@clb121781 Год назад

Elitefts American Cambered bar is the best quality to price bar, IMO. Especially if you can catch it on one of their sales.

@Laocoon283 Год назад

You know what would really be the best bench press barbell. Envision a bar like that one but with handles inside of circles that allowed for the handle to rotate as you pressed and you could slide the circles horizontally to set the handles at the perfect width. So you would start in a neutral position at the bottom and finish with you palms facing your feet if any of that even makes sense Kind of like the perfect pushup thing but a barbell.

It's your muscles getting used to it! It stops after the first couple of sessions! I have a knock off for £100/$130... It's amazing... I use it for all my presses and rows. I wish I brought it years ago! My standard barbell is just used for deadlifts now!

Kabuki's customer service said this to me a few weeks ago: "Thank you for reaching out to us at Kabuki Strength. Per our recent press release, we have partnered with Rogue and they will be manufacturing the Kadillac Bar for us going forward. We timed this specifically with the release of the new version of the bar, that does come with knurled handles. We are in the midst of finishing the last batch of Kadillac Bars being manufactured here in Oregon, so all current orders being placed for the bar will be the new version, manufactured in Ohio. No matter whether the bar is ordered from the Kabuki Strength site or the Rogue site, it will be the same version of the bar that is created in Ohio."

The edges do not rest on your chest with this version, the center x brace does and distributes the weight evenly and comfortably. It's not only the range of motion, these bars provide a lot of benefits in training. Sure dumbbells can do some things similarly but so can't barbells and that type of logic can be applied to all equipment and styles of training. This bar also does things dumbbells, barbells, and other equipment doesn't and for some it's a highly valuable and well liked piece.
