Some Thoughts on Bars

Thanks in advance of the pictures,

Joel

Joel,

Okay, I will. I give a talk in San Antonio tomorrow and teach all day on Thursday, but Friday I will take some pictures and post them. Please just remember that even I agree it is overkill and a bit silly for a home gym. However, I have worked a long time to make this happen, so I "kind of" earned it . I do admit that it sure is nice to be working in my home office writing a paper or doing some research, decide I want to do a workout instead, walk down the hall, and have all of the stuff sitting right there...

Regards,
brittf

I bet! I must say, I have a pretty nice gym at home as well, but I guarantee mine will look completely ghetto compared to yours haha. But I think we're all pretty anxious to see how awesome your gym is.

So did you get a chance to review the Pendlay Bearing bar yet Robert? Or anybody else. Just got mine but am sick as a dog so no lifting last couple of days. I won't have anything to compare it to anyway.

Hi Andrew.

Sorry to hear that you are sick.

Yes, I received my Pendlay NexGen Bearing bar. Before I write anything about it, I want to spend some time lifting with it and really inspecting it and understanding the implications of the bar. It has some interesting design features and I have asked Glenn about his design thoughts. I would like to understand Glenn's ideas and play with the bar a lot before saying anything. Otherwise, it would just be a superficial review.

I look forward to writing about the bar in the near future, once I have had a chance to do these things. I have a number of bars for comparison...
