Shorty Bar – the new kinetic variation of the one-arm dumbbell press

Posted by Shally Warner on September 25th, 2019

Weight training is meant for improving the muscular development of the human body. The objective is to strengthen and fortify the joints and connective tissue, as well as, increase muscle size, shape and development. There are different types of dumbells, the most common being the solid steel variety that increase in weight with 5-lb. increments. Adjustable dumbells are becoming more popular as new loading designs make it possible to add or remove weight more conveniently.

For people who pursue fitness and athletics with real passion and determination, it’s important that the fundamentals of their training are grounded in proven concepts that have stood the test of time. Generally, you don’t need for what some would refer to as sophisticated, ultra-modern machines to build and maintain a robust physique. And one of the key fundamentals needed for any advanced program is kinetic training, also known as unstable load training. The Shorty Bar is about 36’’ in length and weighs 3.5-lb. It is made of composite materials and wood and is simply excellent for your arms and shoulders.

While the standard dumbell helps in just doing the lifts, the Shorty Bar goes one step further by providing Oscillating Kinetic Energy (OKE) to the muscle system and joints so as to increase strength, power, and stability. With its unique, rotating handle, the Shorty Bar helps to build a greater amount of stability for the muscles of the shoulders, triceps, back, sides, and mid-section. But more importantly, it greatly increases the strength and development of the all-important stabilizing muscles of the shoulder girdle – the rotator cuff. This improvement is due to greater muscular activation by using less weight – the miracle of kinetic training! One big advantage of this dumbbell is that it doesn’t need a gym to be used effectively. With patience and consistency, athletes can take full advantage of the power, growth, and performance that the equipment providers to the shoulders and the entire physique.

Another unique and innovative way to generate Oscillating Kinetic Energy is the Bamboo Bench Bar. Used to a great extent in rehabilitation clinics and units for physical therapy, this bar is made from hardened ash wood. The flexibility and many applications of this gym equipment is its greatest overall strength. The bar is a great tool to help strengthen joints and stabilizing muscles and also greatly improves coordination in the central nervous system (CNS) between the smaller stabilizing muscles and the larger primary movers.

Features of the bamboo bench bar:-

1. The design of the bar helps in providing strength and firmness to the hands for gripping power that is so important during exercising, especially the bicep curls and the seated good mornings.

2. The safety slots make sure the bands stay on the bar for all rehab, prehab and aggressive or dynamic exercises. The Bamboo Bench Bar is also approved by licensed physical therapists because the slots help provide the kind of balance that recuperating patients need in rehab centers.

3. The bar is lightweight, flexible and strong enough to last a lifetime.

This bar is great for patients suffering from neuromuscular and joint-related problems such as Parkinson’s disease. It is also excellent for high-energy training required for military and other agility-related training programs.
