I mostly kept it together during that tsunami bar video, but this was too much:
"Numerous attachment options to enhance the oscillatory action"

When they kept throwing up words like "oscillatory, horizontally, vertically", I was reminded of this for some reason;

Can someone PLEASE show this to Rip, preferably with an earnest question about the benefits of such a bar?
He did say he squats with a bent bar...

You warned me about it so I made it through that one. The one that really got me was : "If the bar ain't bending then your just pretending." You hear that a lot from PLs but this is a farce because you can bend this thing with a dime on each side.
I thought about joining a CrossFit box because they had some very, very nice equipment. The thing that completely turned me off was a BB type trying to sell me on the tsunami bar they had. He kept talking about how using it for 6 weeks would strengthen the stabilizers and drive anybody's bench up at least 50#s in 6 weeks.
I think you can get a similar effect by suspending plates, kettlebells, etc. from the end of a normal bar with jump stretch bands or bungees.
I could see the idea working with dynamic movements like jumps - if for nothing else but damping the landings. But as a whole seems like a very typical fad.
