Hello BBM crew!!

Thanks for all the great content you folks put out!! It’s much, much appreciated.

I just purchased a Rogue fitness manufactured Kabuki Kadillac bar. I’ve been curious about adding a multi grip bar into my training for sometime now. I’ve never used a camberd or multi grip bar before.  
I’m currently starting week 5 of Powerbuilding 3, was thinking I could plug it into one of the bench slots for the 2nd block, question is which one? Thoughts?

Awesome, these can be fun to train with.

Any of the non-competition bench slots are fine for supplemental movement substitutions.

hi! dr. baraki,

does that 3.5" increase in range of movement make that much difference (the rogue multi-grip camber bar)? really like the idea of a more neutral grip, but am curious about balance (its frame is 7" wide where you grip it) – did you find that it “moves” around on you when the weight gets heavy or is it similar using dumbbells?

It’s not really similar to DB benching, but feels more similar to a regular bench press “moving” with you on the bench close grip (or reverse grip) bench ROM wise.

Thanks Dr. Feigenbaum. This forum is gold - as was the seminar (San Diego 2020) - best money I ever spent. Dropped 50 pounds and have kept it off since the seminar - made additional dietary changes per the cholesterol articles and my MD can’t believe the improvement. Suspect those changes will give me another 100,000 miles 🙂 THANK YOU!
