The Kadillac Bar [Knurled] SHIPS IN: 5-10 DAYS

Cambered with the same angle as our original specialty bar - the Duffalo Bar - this Kabuki take on a traditional swiss bar is designed to make bench pressing safer, more comfortable, and easier to learn. The Kadillac Bar features three neutral hand positions strategically angled between 10 and 15 degrees to offer maximum training effect and reduced load on the sensitive shoulder joint complex, while allowing for increased range of motion. A favorite of many professional strength & conditioning coaches for athletes, the Kadillac Bar is as versatile as it is functional - commonly used for rowing, arm, and all pressing movements.

The Kadillac Bar [Knurled]

Two distinct design characteristics stand out to make the Kadillac Bar one of the most biomechanically-sound and effective training bars for the press.

Three strategic hand positions at 10, 12.5 and 15 degrees reduce pain and transfer to sport

Perhaps the biggest contributor to the bar’s reputation of being “the most comfortable press - years of practice, study, and understanding of pressing mechanics led us to these 3 distinct fixed positions for a better neutral-grip press. Two of the biggest champions of Kadillac Bar use are individuals with a history of shoulder girdle-area injuries and difficulty in the press, as well as athletes in need of a power and strength-capable stimulus that minimizes risk of injury off the field.

Natural camber curve for increased range of motion to maximize stimulus

The curve of the Kadillac Bar mimics our first ever specialty bar - and the first design engineered specialty bar in the world - The Duffalo Bar. Combined with our hand position angles offered by the three grips, this camber allows the lifter to gain a greater range of motion whilst minimizing the risk of injury through a more externally-rotated elbow/shoulder position. This additional stimulus is useful for end-range strength, hypertrophy training through a fuller range of motion on the pec and triceps, as well as power development for athletes.

Unlike most specialty bench bars, the design engineered Kadillac Bar is built for the professional weight room in terms of durability, fit & finish, and standardization with competition-level equipment. The bar features machined olympic sleeves with our iconic stamped squat face end caps. The sleeve design allows for easy racking/unracking in all standard racking and upright storage is supported.

One of the biggest advantages of this bar is its versatility beyond the realm of the bench press. Athletes commonly use the bar for rows (including extended range of motion seal rows), pullups (by simply placing the bar on top of a rack), overhead press variations that are significantly more comfortable and optimal in terms of positioning, and other exercises like curls, push ups, and even ab-wheel rollouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are 2 main features that make this bar superior to the older “neutral grip” bars. 1. It has a very similar curved angle as our super popular “duffalo” bar, this allows for a greater ROM and keeps the shoulders in a better position. 2. The handle angels are specifically designed with your shoulders health and mechanics in mind. They are not all at the same angle, and they should not be as you raise your arm from your side to a bench press position the angle of your hand and upper arm change. This is the first pressing bar that pays attention to this simple functional anatomy!

Yes! Unless you are a competing powerlifter, we believe all of your pressing should be done on the Kadillac bar. Even if you are a powerlifter the majority of your pressing before meet prep and on secondary days should be on this bar for shoulder health. All other athletes and fitness enthusiasts need to be on this bar, as it will give better results while keeping your body safer in the long run due to the specific angles of the handels.

We recommend and program a ton of accessory work on the Kadillac. Overhead pressing with this bar will give you similar results and shoulder health vs a straight bar. One of the biggest areas that people dont consider is rowing variations. The shoulder acts very similar if both pressing and rowing variations are done correctly, therefor if we have a bar that will help put your body in a better position for bench it will do the same if rows. Last but not least (we have posted our 10+ most favorite exercises on the Kadillac bar) is all of your arm accessory work.

If you are a sport athlete, fitness enthusiast or bodybuilder, just swap our that old straight bar and get to work you will love the results! If you are a powerlifter we suggest putting it in on your secondary day and use for accessory work first. Then, programming it in on your main day as a second or third pressing variation. If you are farther away from a competition add it in as a main pressing movement.

To help you get better results regardless of your goals! It has a very similar curved angle to our super popular “duffalo” bar, this allows for a greater ROM and keeps the shoulders in a better position. The main difference is the handles that are specifically angled to keep your body in alignment. The curve allows you to train through a bigger ROM that has a lot of benefits for a wide variety of fitness goals. It helps your body function in a more natural movement for the shoulder and shoulder blade. This improved “scapulohumeral rhythm” helps you function better, increase your training results while avoiding potential shoulder pain and problems.
