I’ve put a lot of time and effort into designing, testing, and eventually selling equipment specifically for home gym users who may not have the budget or space for the full sized versions. My equipment is made of solid steel right here in the USA, actually right down the street from Orlando Barbell. This enables me to not only help promote jobs here in the US but also to regularly check on the progress and to test the prototypes. I wouldn’t have it any other way, but having the equipment manufactured in the USA costs more than mass producing the products in another country. My mark up on the equipment is relatively low so it keeps the equipment as affordable as possible, meaning I don’t make much on them. My point from this is that I need to promote the equipment more in order to make it more visible to you, as well as to make it more profitable for me. Because of this I’ll be posting weekly exercise spotlights.
This week I’m showing a video where I use The OBB Power Handles for chest supported rows. The OBB Power Handles were primarily designed for lifters with shoulder issues to continue to squat with a straight bar without having to place their arms behind the bar, but they can also be used for numerous other exercises. For the chest supported row they allow for lifters to perform this motion without the use of a specific chest supported row machine. They also allow for an isolateral movement and greater ROM than dumbbells since the DBs would hit the bench.
