WHY USE A FOOTBALL BAR?

The football bar was originally designed to accommodate the needs of football players who required a safer way to lift weights without aggravating shoulder and wrist injuries.

Here’s why you should use a football bar:

  • Reduced shoulder strain: A football bar's neutral grip is more comfortable on the shoulders than a traditional barbell, so it’s great for enabling athletes to continue benching, even with shoulder problems.
  • Wrist comfort: The 35mm diameter handles ease strain on the wrists, making pressing movements more comfortable than traditional barbells. 
  • New training stimulus: The football bar can help you to hit your chest, triceps, and shoulders, making it great for all strength athletes, including bodybuilders.

STRENGTH SHOP FOOTBALL BAR

The Football Bar has a neutral grip thanks to its angled handles, so it’s a great option for those with shoulder problems who still want to bench. The 35mm diameter handles also reduce wrist strain compared to a traditional barbell.

This bar suits strength athletes who want to train their chest, arms, and shoulders while reducing injury risks. It’s also great for adding a new training stimulus to your routine, so it can be a good choice for bodybuilders looking to shake up their chest and arm training.

Whether breaking through a plateau or adding variety to your routine, the Football Bar is a great addition to most gyms.

Works well
This stuff is pretty great I bought it for attaching tomato plants to the fence where the stems were too big to fit my smaller clip ties and even in our strong winds none of the ties have come undone so far

Nice product with lots of uses. Strong magnet and great strap
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Used this to replace the Klein magnetic strap on my C-800 multimeter. (This is not easy and takes a lot of manipulation, but if you can get it in the plastic loop on the multimeter up past where the loop in the strap end is sewn, you can use a screwdriver through that to yank it the rest of the way). Once it’s done it’s beautiful! This thing could hold 2 dozen multimeters and it’s MUCH longer without being too long! Otherwise it’s just an awesome strap anyway. It holds a lot of weight (I didn’t test to spec) but definitely enough for what one would expect! I have both sizes, the smaller one is attached to the multimeter and the larger holds a cord to the side of my toolbox. (Tip)- to prevent slipping just put the magnetic base on the other side of the metal by the box tray and let the strap hang over (if attached to a toolbox). It adds to the weight it can hold too. (Just physics). That will work on anything vertical and thin enough to get around with enough slack to still use the strap. 👍. Would definitely buy another

An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Following the compromised operation in Prague, I was tasked with organizing equipment for the embassy annex in Vienna. The VELCRO Brand Magnetic Straps provided an essential solution for securing various tools and equipment to metal surfaces, facilitating quick access during critical moments. The durability of the strap, combined with an impressively strong magnet, ensured that our gear remained in place despite variable operational conditions. However, the loop formed by the strap could be larger; it limited our options for certain garden hoses, which became a notable drawback. Overall, the robust quality of the straps enhances logistical efficiency in high-pressure scenarios. Katarina's earlier input on this product proved beneficial, although I detected apprehension in her demeanor while discussing its application. Recommendation: An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment, with minor adjustments needed for cord size.

Sturdy and Reliable
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Very sturdy and holds up well with regular use. It feels solid and well-made, not flimsy or like it’s going to wear out quickly. Definitely something you can rely on without worrying about it falling apart.
