Im not sure that is a big deal. This one is supposed to be more stable than the others, due to the arch and lower center of gravity of the weight. I was just hoping someome had actually tried the Kadillac and could comment. Its definitely worth the money if it gets me bench pressing more.
Rip,
Other than the need to sell more equipment and the marketing blitz to support that cause are there any benefits to football bars / neutral grip bars from a strength training perspective? I imagine the bodybuilder community sees the opportunity to 'hit' their muscles from every angle in the pursuit of aesthetics. Does it serve any benefits for us in middle-age and older? The marketing seems to always talk about sparing your shoulders, but as you referenced earlier in this thread, these bars all feature increased range of motion.
As someone in their mid 40s who has had both shoulder labrums repaired (years ago now), I try to keep mindful of mechanics and movement patterns to prevent future injury.
