Very versatile bar September 26, 2024 Reviewer: Gary from Pflugerville, TX United States   This bar is a great addition to my gym. I really like the open space between the handles for doing skull crushers. I get a greater range of motion and also a lot less chance to hit myself in the head. I got the knurl option and it has been great. I also really like that there are two handles, but you can also grab this bar in a few different other areas for even more variety. My only improvement suggestion is that it would be nice if the handle spacing gap was wider, or if that was an option you could specify when ordering. I am a little too wide to be able do hammer curls pulling my hands to me sides by like an inch or two. Small suggestion but this bar is really great. Was this review helpful to you?

One of a Kind! August 22, 2024 Reviewer: Joe from Boston,MA United States   This bar is truly unique, with excellent knurling that's a must-have. I highly recommend it for those seeking the best Viking press barbell. It feels amazing for Viking presses, offering a simpler alternative to the tedious landmine setup. The VHS bar makes it easier to calculate your lifting strength by just adding weight plates and doing bar math. While I prefer using it for triceps bench pressing, I have other barbells for traditional chest presses. It performs phenomenally for seal rows on a Sorrinex or Hydra pad but won't clear a standard rep utility bench unless customized. It also works well for bent-over rows. I love this bar and use it weekly during shoulder days, rotating it for chest-supported seal rows and triceps presses. If you want a versatile bar that can do it all, this is the one for you.

Feels good in the hands July 29, 2024 Reviewer: Sheel Patel from Orlando, FL United States   The VHS bar feels great in the hands. Thick and grippy. Versatile as I use it for overhead press, bench press, hammer curls and seal rows so far. Glad I sold the  cambered multigrip bars that I previously owned and replaced it with the VHS bar. Dean is very pleasant to work with and being a one-man gang he is still very responsive in answering messages/emails. I will purchase again from black widow Was this review helpful to you?

Super versatile bar May 22, 2024 Reviewer: Jared from Louisville, KY   Dean helped me come up with the final design after a lot of back and forth. I do not know of another open Swiss bar like this. The YT video speaks for itself on how much this bar can offer for exercises potentials. I have the original bar, it weighs 37 pounds, super sturdy, knurling feels very good. Check out my YT video on this site. I did miss that this bar is good for spider curl bars on a seal row pad for even an adjustable bench. Yes, you should get one. Was this review helpful to you?

Multi Use May 2, 2024 Reviewer: Jamison Dorsett from Indiana   Having met Dean in person, as well as Jared-the original owner of the first VHS bar, owning my own feels like being part of a tight knit community of strength. Dean already knew I train in a small space and as such--needed a custom 6ft bar instead of 7ft, and he nailed the length perfectly. World class knurling and the sleeves still give room for plenty of weight. I opted for custom angled handles and parallel handles to work different load capacities, both of which allow for excellent tension for different muscle movements. Shoulders feeling great with the ergonomics of the VHS. I frequently use it for safety bar squats, bench press, overhead press, but the uses are endless. With the right creativity, this is 10 bars in one bar. Thank you Dean! Was this review helpful to you?
