Anyone use a Tsunami Barbell before?

Just curious to anyone's experience, looks like a big dildo flapping around.

I'm not an expert physicist, but I feel like it would rebound and basically throw the weight up for you. Also.... moving like that seems like it would be horrible to try to stop.

At an old gym I went to they had bamboo that you would attach resistance bands on to. Some people would hang kettle bells off of the ends with bands too.... that was the hardest bench I've ever done.

The guy at 0:43 looks retarded....

But maybe good exercise - mixing it up is often good.

I was thinking the same thing, read it is a good workout though. My local gym doesn't have them but it seems to be getting more popular.

Did you see at 51 seconds, shit was getting weird. Even if it is a useful tool for training I would feel awkward using it.

It's an f-ing AWESOME gym that video is shot in, serious gym envy....

Some of the moves look a bit gay, but I'd imagine the constant wobbliness must engage a lot of stabilizer muscles, push your balance etc. Probably good to use once a week.

It is actually an amazing bar. To simplify this and save money, I would grab 4 25lb kettle bells - 4 resistance bands - wrap 2 kettle bells with a resistance band a piece on each side. Stabilization works this brings is amazing. Not something I regular incorporate although I don't see how if would to be done at the end of chest days.

I gotta be honest, that seems like a pretty stupid idea. Just another silly craze like zumba or crossfit.

Worlds best bencher (IMO) using the earthquake bar, that is what this tsunami bar was modelled after but unfortunately it's a fools option in comparison. The earthquake bar and set up as TNE explain and is show in the video incorporates all muscle fibres to fire to stabilize, where as the tsunami bar gives rebound and awkward trajectories.

You can make your own homemade earthquake set up with just the bands and kettle bells for both squats and bench and for deadlift and cleans you 100% do not want to incorporate that kind of instability unless your a hunkering for a hernia

OMG what the fuck is going on ? This looks so retarded to be honest. Why not buy a gun and kill your self instead.
