MORE ON THE Elitefts™ SWISS PRESS BAR:

An off-shoot, or complimentary bar, to the Multi-Grip Swiss Bar, the Swiss Press Bar was designed specifically for the bench press (as opposed to the log press).

This differs from the Multi-grip Swiss Bar (or Econo-Log) because it is not specifically designed to simulate a log press. Because of this, the handles are not as long, so it does not offer the wrist stability needed when doing log presses. The variety of parallel and angled grips makes this a great bar for overhead presses, benches, triceps extensions, rowing, and just about anything you can imagine.

The grips very from handle to handle, with the outer handles being thinner and the inner ones getting progressively thicker. These three grips are based on the most popular grips used in the bench press. These grips are (from the inside out): 1) pinkies on or near the smooth, 2) an extended-thumb away from the smooth, and 3) middle-finger on the smooth. If there is carryover from this exercise to the bench we wanted to bases the grips on these popularly-used spacings. The fourth grip is a close, angled grip perfect for triceps extensions (facing either way) or curling and semi-pronated reverse curls.

There are times in which you want to back off of your normal movement patterns (such as your competition bench grip) while working those muscles in order to give the body a break. For heavy benchers, a parallel grip may provide the break that their shoulder need.

*The Swiss Press Bar is wide enough to fit in most racks.
